I had that, easy!
Did he use the PIT on the officer?
Statesville?
Mrs BN & I had supper there last night!
I wondered what that streak of light followed by a clap of thunder was?
Who caught him?
Try that in Arkansas and you go to jail. 20MPH over speed limit can lead to immediate arrest/detainment. Oh, and a hefty fine...
Not far from my neck of woods. Having that said, if I was the guy who pulled off that stunt, I would still be in jail right now.
Idiot. He should go to jail for about six months. That is complete arrogance and stupidity. He could have killed someone or himself. I can’t believe how disgusting this creep is. There is ABSOLUTELY no excuse for this.......nobody should disagree with me on this.
Busch’s fault!
LOL...you win!
Virginia has some pretty steep fines at +20 if my memory serves me correct. Not sure about jail time, but fines were +$1K. My state of Illinois added a new speeding tier at the first of the year. +30 gets you $1.5K fine. +40 gets you +$2.5K and some jail time. +20 and court supervision isn't allowed..
I used to do faster than that on a daily basis in my street racing days 55 years ago.
When I was going with my wife i hit 150 every weekend going from L.A to Santa Barbara to see her.
The only difference is the cops then didn't have radar, helicopters or cars that could go much over 100!
Well, hell! He was only in 3rd gear.
A valid drivers licence is a requirement for a Nascar licence.’Be great if they take it.
I am just glad you survived....lol.
Obammy says that all the time.
Could care less what he says. He is over in England having a state dinner with the Queen. Way to busy to even know that this Busch guy was going crazy down a street putting everyone in danger.
I’ve slowed down in my old age, I don’t go over 90 on a regular basis.
I do try to hold to 85 on the freeway but if someone is going 100, i’ll kick it up to 98 and let the dude going 100 get the ticket!!!
