oh hell, my friend got busted big

[chaparral]

he just called from the police station. they caught him doing 156 in a 65. what should he expect?

[pdV6]

In the UK, hanging, drawing and quartering at the very least.

God knows, that's a big big speed, could be huge

[puggit]

In the US I assume?

Can't you just hire big lawyers who'll get you off the most cast-iron case?

[dick dastardly]

Now I like to make progress as much (if not a lot more) than the next guy but what the hell was he doing 156 in a 65 for? I'd pull the old temporary-insanity card - might work too

Its the US - possibly a freeway in a more restrictive state... may have been safe as houses, might not. Don't know the facts.

...unless he's used his phonecall from a UK copshop to call his mate in the States and boast

[Mrs Fish]

What was he driving?

[docevi1]

I'm wondering what he was caught by, another 20mph and a Gatso wouldn't have seen him if you believe TG.

If it's this country a jail sentence and to be paraded around newspapers/tv is more than likely.

If he had bald tyres and no operators licence then he'll probably be ok

You saw that programme too?

Scared me shitless, all those foreign gaggies picking our fruit? I'll never eat another raspberry without washing it first. They wipe thier arses with their hands, so I hear.

<shudder>
Pick your own fruit in your own countries, illiterate, law breaking dossers!

2000 Chevrolet Corvette, on a dry, open stretch of US highway, observed by one state patrolman who radioed seven miles ahead.

He'll probably get put on a leash and made to sit on some fellow naked inmates.

[DennisTheMenace]

156 do that nearly everytime the bike comes out to play on my private test track

He will be made to share a cell with bubba and be his bitch

Having been in similar situations - accused of great speed in both Texas and New Mexico...hire a local lawyer. A good one. Get himself, and then his car out of police control ASAP. Sell the car, fight the case, buy another car.

After all, it's the US. We can have as much freedom as we care to purchase.

Damn, I thought it said your friend had a big bust.....
