Outrun by an astra, takes some skill...

[chrisbowling]

Cops would never be this chill in America for offenses like these

[Koniu]

130mph in that death trunk? 😮 bro got bigger balls then Chuck Norris ego😂

[Toby_the_Glen]

130mph in a Vauxhall Astra estate, yikes!

Our 70mph limit is a joke, how long before you can do that on an escooter?

[josephfoster-xh]

Lots of people commenting on the autobahns and the "no speed" limits, there are in fact speed limits on most of the autobahn, these have red signs max speed 130kph, do even 1 kph over and you'll be hammered with a massive fine, another point is the difference in the driving test in Germany compared to our "drive around the block " one.

Yet when you get broken into... nowhere to be seen 🤔

[marshandmere]

I'm amazed the driver and pasengers in the BMW were outright liars and scumbags who would have thought

[paulwatson]

Kudos to the cops involved for their calmness and professionalism. But the commentator says, "Rich hits the fast lane" - no he doesn't as there is no such thing. There is a driving lane (the left) and there are one or more overtaking lanes - language is important!

If someone pulls out in front them at that speed, they would all be killed 🙄 I was the motorway doing 70mph at 4am in the morning with next to nothing on the road head north on the A1 and pitch black. Looked in the mirror and I could just see a set of headlights in the distance and then in a few seconds it past me like I was parked up. No way was I expecting it to be going at that speed 😳

[skywatch]

From memory, having passed my driving test in 1985, i recall that in the highway code printed at the time, the stopping distance from 70mph would be 245 feet. So how far would the bmw in this clip need to stop at 150? I appreciate things have moved on since the days of vauxhall cavalier, ford cortina/capri and merc 280se, but you still need reaction time.

[thekingofmeerkats]

Arguments for doing say 80-85 on motorways, most do anyway. But you've got to be absolutely brain dead to do 150 on the roads here... absolute plank

[shakilnasir]

Goodness, brave officers, driving 150 miles per hour to catch a speedy driver.
Really appreciate the officer .

[shadyninja]

Germany has no speed limit and had less accidents and pile-ups unlike the UK which treats drivers like children which causes tons of accidents and middle lane huggers at 50mph.

[michaelm]

For all those who claim that Germany, with zero speed restrictions on parts of its autobahn network are safer, they are not! Research by the German Road Safety Council (DVR), ETSC's German member, has shown that there are, on average, 25% more deaths on sections of the autobahn without speed limits compared to those with a limit. 24 Feb 2019. The risk of death on a German motorway is around twice as high as on a British or Danish one.

[cakeplays]

As a person whose father works at a vauxhall dealer, i always knew they could reach that speeds fairly quickly

[bedfordshireeastmidlandstrains]

The fact that the Astra went 150 MPH, but the copper in the BMW could only go 135 MPH

[dexietyy]

How does an astra even do 130mph must’ve been a VXR

[mikeh]

I got pulled over on the M6 at night, many years ago. I was going very quickly in my bmw 328i. A cop car was sitting in one of those authorised side lanes. He followed me for a short time then pulled me over.
He told me he stopped me for my speed, then asked to look in the boot.
At the end he said I wasn't doing anything dangerous and sent me on my way.

[pete]

Even the commentator says Rich hits the FAST lane and opens up - I thouht there is no fast lane on any UK motorways

[steveymoon]

Those "little chats" the police have with the speeders is so incredibly cringy. Just book them, give them their ticket, get their car towed etc, but leave the little "imagine if..." chats.
