IS THIS ANYONE ON HERE?
 

"Thousands of convictions across Britain could be unsafe after police officers using the ProLaser III accused James MacGregor, 34, from Inverness, of doing 132mph in a 70mph zone. Mechanical inspection of his Subaru Impreza WRX later found it was incapable of exceeding 107mph. A dangerous driving charge was thrown out of court"

mmmmmmmmmmmmm.................import WRX - didn't remove the speed de-limiter by any chance in the interim period???????????????

all of this is supposition and only an imaginary view of course

but could you do that, put the delimiter on get nicked for doing 137 mph put it back to jap spec get it checked all ok as it will only do 107 mph

It looks like it!

yep you could, and it would seem he had his head screwed on :D

i am very surprised the police etc did not pick this up,lucky bast*rd

Apparently it had the seals all in place. Have we become so conditioned in our thinking that to see that the either the police or their equipment should have faults. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt, esp as in this case the car was inspected to see if it had been swapped out..

Been discussed before
