Now had they been In a marked police car he wouldn't have done all of the incredibly dangerous criminal acts reported above. He would have slowed down and tucked in behind them.........what's better?
We've all done shit like that at some time. He was just silly enough to do it to a cop car.

They forgot to mention the wake of dead kittens he left in his path........who knows, the cop might have baited him and traveled 15 below the limit.
Something you hear rarely about is a 50 yo rich hoon

An undercover GT3 would make an epic ricer chaser

He was probably still in second gear, goose should have grabbed another gear or two, coppers would never have caught him...

If you know the road, you would know that the pigs have turned it into a honeypot.
Used to be 100k all the way with some fun twisties at the Upper Beac end, then the armco and safety improvements gang moved in a few years back.
Since they "finished" their work it has more variations in speed limits than you can poke a stick at, all frustratingly slow.
I am in no way condoning the car drivers behaviour.....bit of a tosser driving that quick with his eyes shut....unmarked cars scream pig from behind if you know what to look for
