I went 142 mph in eastern Montana on I-94. for twenty miles or so. I gotta say, I don’t know how one could even get up to that speed in a 35 mph zone unless the road was really straight and he hit the lights just right.

In such a situation it’s not “if” you hit something. It’s “when”.

I wonder how the cops knew he was doing 134.

Even 90 is an obscene speed on a surface street.

Makes sense using modern math 1+3+4 = 3+5.

They measure the skid marks, crush damage, and vehicle displacement.

Yeah, but 90 is duable. 134 really isn’t.

thing is, at that kind of speed, city blocks are going by like a picket fence. One of the fascinating things about going 142 was how fast my odometer was turning over tenths of a mile.

134 is 44 MPH faster than 90. It is a level of magnitude more dangerous than 90.

But, as you pointed out, both are pretty fast on surface streets. one of the biggest challenges, ignoring other drivers and pedestrians, is that the surface may not be that smooth, especially at intersections. Intersections could become launching pads to go airborne.

Important NOTE!

vehicles 2014 and newer will rat you out via on-board computer

This perp would be toast without that data point.

Yeah, I can understand that, but 134? Why not 135?

That’s the big red flag to me. This is not as much of a hard science as they would have us believe.

His car will testify against him.
