Fair enough he was caught going way over the limit but it is a shame to be caught like that.
There cant be many people on here who have not went north of 100mph just to either see what there vehicle can do or just for a little blast.
The guy probably thought he would show the bike what his car could do, why own a GTR if you are not going to open it up now and again.
Getting the jail for speeding is a sore one though and not the first time I have heard of this.
A guy a few years ago was caught on the Dolphinton Straight doing about 160 with nothing else on the road and got 9 months in the jail.
Puts you off a little
The 2 dickheads in the Nissans were racing each other and racing on the public highway is an offence. The indicated speed when the Primera pulls over and let's the GTR past was 128mph !! On a dual carriageway !!! Think of the consequences of an accident at that speed. Thankfully nobody was hurt especially an innocent third party. They both got what they deserved.
Granted they were both speeding and looked like they were racing, maybe they wernt and the GTR just wanted past.
I take it from the 128mph being before !! means that you are quite shocked at the speeds?
I take it also that you have never hit those speeds yourself at any point?
I am not condoning what they did, just that for the sake of a little thrill the guys get jailed by someone on an unmarked bike.
The GTR might not have gone any faster after going by the other Nissan if he didnt have a bike on his tail, it could be said that the bike egged him on.
There were stories years ago when the cops started using unmarked sportsbikes that they would sit beside you at lights trying to make eye contact while revving the bike to see if they could get you to race away.
Up North the guys on the unmarked bikes get on your tail and just sit there waiting on you speeding up instead of just going past you.
