Damn those weak cops turning it into a street racing event. They should be ashamed of themselves and have their car impounded too. When your house is robbed and your kid is molested in the street, where are the cops? Certainly not hiding behind a nearby tree with a taser gun. They’re out on the highway looking for speeders.

Kudos to the old man having some fun on ice.

If anyone can find a picture of that damn lady from the APIA ads, she would be a perfect candidate for her picture on stupid old drivers stories.

As serious as the thought of anyone, let alone an 85 year old, going so fast on in a “90″ zone is, the picture just cracks me up.

You can almost see the old-timer grinning to the cops. They must have been quite surprised.

His eyesight and reflexes must be in superb shape, though, so kudos to him. Either that or he’s extremely lucky (as are the other road users).

I don’t know about you Lcat, but I don’t care what age someone was if they happened to take out me or my family on an icy road cos they were over the speed limit trying to out run police, 18 or 80!

Off putting??? Get a sense of humour Owen!

It’s a bit off putting to see the same picture illustrating both a Japanese story less than a month ago and this one. If you want us to scrounge up a few others, just ask, otherwise personally I’d prefer the topic minus the fake picture thanks. Is it me, or is this illustration appearing as a rather ageist item? I don’t find stereotypical photos illustrating topics involving younger drivers here. Stick to the facts, it’s what this site does best.

Hey 280zx, I posted the pic mate, it’s a file shot I use and I reckon it’s a cracker.

The guy just brings a grin to my face – what can I say :)
