There is always a right lane to overtake :laugh:

Wait until I find a way to get one of these[^] into my car...

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

My only experience with weapons is using an M-1 carbine on a firing range (in the civil guard in Israel). Even there, my score was terrible. :(

Ad astra - both ways!

You forgot:

d) I usually chase the police, not the opposite.

It may have been some time since I last practiced with such a weapon, but believe me, hitting a fast car would be a stroke of luck.

Not at all. Granted the window of opportunity would be open for much less time, but a skilled marksman could easily hit anything that big. Hitting the driver himself would be harder, but still possible.

With a rifle? Sure. But not with any sort of unguided anti tank rocket. Shooting the rocket straight at the approaching car could work, but you get only one try.

If you have that DeLorean, you won't be able to reach 150mph without running into...lets call them "side-effects"...before you even get there.

I got 125 mph out of one at midnight on the Tampa freeway once. My main problem was when the street lights stopped. Suddenly, absolute total darkness. Still the new pants were cheaper to buy in the US.

Well shooting twice is just crazy!!

In the Netherlands there’s a website http://bestwelsnel.nl/ with measured speeds on the road. “uitleg” = help. Its Dutch but I am sure you can find a translator. Measurements are done by “inductions loops” in the asphalt, 24000 of them throughout the country. Green = bevestigd = confirmed (within 1 minute, within 5km, a second measurement > 170kmh) Gray = onbevestigd = unconfirmed Red = maximum (as of 2013-12-31) or dagmax (maximum of the day) The Netherlands is not that big, if you watch this website, it looks like a formula 1 circuit. Take a look and see for yourself how much idiots we have over here
