Yeah, that would be my guess.
Some mad idiot with more cash than sense risking lives in his new toy.

That car really is a terrible waste, where in the world can you sensibly use that kind of performance on public roads in safety?

All part of the job, Les.
Driving at speed through busy streets is bound to end the odd prang

Close but no cigar
YouTube - Midnight Run - Bugatti Veyron
Chris Harris - Autocar
(Not sure why he bothers to put a seatbelt on. You crash at 200mph+ in the road car on the autobahn you're dead anyway

Bound to lose a few, as my old flying instructor used to say
. I was only gently pulling your leg FP. Just shows the dangers of that sort of thing by untrained drivers!

Surely you are not saying "Speed kills", there are a lot who won't agree if you are.

And that means what exactly?
How you've been taught about 'rate of revealment etc etc'. Being Police trained doesn't automatically turn you into a driving Deity.
I've seen plenty of vids where this country's so called 'fastest and safest' traffic cops have lost it in a big fashion.
What about the tool in Port Talbot, South Wales not so long ago, who on water logged motorway decided to take his Volvo up to speeds of 120mph before eventually aquaplaning off the road down an embankment.
Police training my ****. Counts for nothing in my opinion.
