[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to say it, but this sounds like a road design issue.[/quote]

Care to explain your logic?[/quote]

It's bad protocol at least.

The police officer was there trying to physically stop the speeding car of a known extremely reckless driver. Protocol should be such that the police officers's bodies are not exposed to the threat they are trying to stop.

[b]This guy should  have been arrested years ago, and whenever he was detected on the roads, followed by a helicopter not a police car, and have his car impounded each time. Then jailed for refusal to pay fines. [/b]

He's 19. Until April of this year, he had two tickets; one for speeding (51 in a 35) and one for failing to display his license. He paid both (he paid them late so they briefly suspended his license then recalled the suspension which is done after payment is made).

The rest of his tickets are all from this year and he hasn't gone to court on any of them. He obviously should go to jail NOW (and he will) and he probably should have been arrested and held in April when he got his first round of serious tickets, but "he should have been arrested years ago" wasn't even possible. You don't get arrested for going 16 miles per hour over the speed limit.[/quote]
