Looks like justice is going to being served real cold to this guy.
Probably end is prosecution and cost him much more than a few days pay.

Too bad, 159mph to 'get the feel' of the car is bull. He was having a good time - with public property.
At this sort of speed, most forces will abandon a pursuit and opt for a follow - in the interests of public safety and even doing something like containment training the speeds stay to about 140 - 150mph.
I can't see any real reason for this being considered as 'acceptable'

This guy is the epitomy of a nobber.

What a barstard , hope they hang him out to dry.

Good to hear that the judge at the high court today said that the original verdict is rediculous.

It was overturned and going back to court.

Dangerous driving, umm.... I'd say that is gross misconduct as he was on the job - P45 and a taxi for one please.
