Most probably jail time.

[Voice of Reason]

From the story, here is the penalty:

 

He has no prior offenses, but will now have six points on his license and could face hefty fines and 93 days in jail.

 

Scariest part of that story for me was police first turned around to cite him after clocking him going 79 MPH in a 70 MPH zone. If the police start pulling people over for going 9 MPH over on the highway, I am in trouble.

Kudos on getting a station wagon to do 153mph!!!

 

I bet it had a Hemi!

Hell, I'd like to know how he was able to find a stretch of I-75 to get it up to that speed.

Reporterette caught my eye. Just sayin'.

WOW Michigan drivers fly

It would have been cheaper for him to buy an airline ticket to Germany, rent a car, and drive the unrestricted parts of the autobahn.

Lost in all of this, the police failed to report that Randy Parker was tailgating the guy the entire time, waiting for him to get out of the passing lane. :lol2:

Just sayin' all three.

I wonder how fast the police car will go that followed him?

[uk#1fan]

I have done 150 3 times in my life on 275 and 74.

Chevy Caprice (155), Dodge Charger (152) and Ford Police Interceptor (Taurus) (149) all have been tested to around 150mph. The Ford for example cuts power and will not exceed 150 due to programming.

 

If it was an older Crown Vic they they are speed limited to 129 and the various SUV's are in the 130-139 range.
