Bugatti Veyron clocked at 210mph in 65 PSL zone

Wonder how he was caught at that speed... not hard to spot that car.

so he can't get jailed for that? Can you ever get jailed for speeding?

I call BS. That guy is a big time self promoter, everything he says or does is to get himself attention.

Lol and he's my age too. I'm not so impressed at the ticket as much as I am with his age and the car that he drives. Can those radars or lasers trap something that fast?

I was thinking it would be easy to photoshop the 2 over say a 1 which could be more reasonable ticket on CA highway.

Sorry, I also call total BS on this one - going 155+ over the limit would earn you a trip to jail, not a traffic ticket.

wasnt there something like this tested on 6th gear?...

i think the conclusion was if you go over a certain speed a camera can not get you...

it was lower then 212mph, its impossible for the camera to get you if you are going that fast....

Agreed, but not in CA. What a joke, especially since he was supposedly going over twice the 100 mph mark. A first offender likely will face a fine not exceeding $500, two points on a license and "possible" jail time. The infraction becomes a misdemeanor if the police can prove a driver was reckless.

Specially on HWY. 73 - A public toll road running through the most watched parts of OC (Newport Beach/ Irvine/ Aliso Viejo) with fascist cops all over.

In some states you will go to jail at the speed on the spot, no question. CA is a little more forgiving.

This is fake, if you guys believe it's real you're idiots...

at those speeds, first of all a cop wouldn't be able to catch him, they'd send a calvary and choppers and shit...and when they do catch him, they ain't gonna sit there and write a dinky ticket, they haul his ass to jail, impound his car, and he gets to appear before the judge...

Having to worry about the planes here in FL enforcing speed limits is such a pain as its very hard to ascertain their presence for the most part, but we do enjoy higher Octane fuel

No, mythbusters did this, and they show even with a dragster going well over 200MPH speed camera can still snap a clear picture of the car and license.

I'm not really sure how someone born in 1986 that lived in a $435,000 house as of 2005 owns a Veyron, but whatever. I know exactly where the person by that name lives or lived based on a simple search that took me 2 minutes.

EDIT: Ok I googled him, and I see who that is now... But based on where he has previously lived.... ???

Good call.. notice how the "2" in "210+" is exactly the same (except maybe slightly larger) as the first "2" 4 lines above in the 'Code and Section' area.
