"A 20 year old hoon has been sent to jail after clocking the fastest recorded speed on Victorian roads. P-Plater Justin Pickering of Malvern East led police on a marathon chase in his Subaru WRX STI last August along the Hume Highway. Broadmeadows magistrates court heard police clock him at 255km/h.

He was jailed for 3 months, with another 6 months suspended, for six driving offences including reckless conduct endangering life. He was fined $2000 and banned from driving for 5 years."

thats not much for being CHASED @ 255km/h

[SmashBoxx]

255 was probably when thew saw him.. they wouldn't chase at that speed.. he might of gone faster when he realised he'd been seen??

[fuzzy_scuz]

So was the car crushed?

[DogKnight]

No idea, just typed out what they had in the article

[Do-Luck]

Fair effort.

[fuzzy_scuz]

So all we need now is a pranching pony to show it up and the world and stars are aligned correctly.

I don't get y ppl wanna drive that fast on a public roads, its dangerous and ppl could get killed.

[Ruffels]

[stolen_s15]

My uncle got clocked at 281 on a suzuki hayabusa just over 2 years ago, no loss of lisence or even a fine.

I read about this ages ago, 255 is a good effort

[Basti]

*wonders how many ppl will actually take me seriously and try for the record*

[cosmokram3r]

[IOWNU]

[(B1) MR_fanny]

[some_cs_student]

At least his street cred cannot be challenged....

Street cred? He'll be in jail and afterwards he can't drive on the road for 5 years...how is that street cred?

[LTHLRB]

umm take a joke?

when he gets out of jail he will be able to tell his stories...

[funkymonkey]

I think someone's telling fibs. Why would the police have a radar set up on a road with an open speed limit?
