Default alright who done it

A Georgetown University law student who was trying to impress his girlfriend admitted yesterday that he cranked up his new Infiniti to 126 mph on the George Washington Memorial Parkway -- among the highest speeds ever clocked on the stretch of federal road.
"It appeared he was trying to lose the officer real quick," Fear said. "The officer just kind of smiled, knew he couldn't go anywhere and pulled up and got him." Hoffman was arrested and taken to a Park Police station before being released. His girlfriend, who had been a passenger, drove the silver 2006 Infiniti G35 back to the police station.

He's really dumb. I use to always travel the GW parkway when I worked in Arlington. There are no lights and deers always cross the road. If anything happened at those speeds you're pretty much dead. I guess he didn't know the Park police station is just a mile away. Way to go.

He's sooooo lucky his offense didn't happen in Fairfax County...he would have been a goner.

At least he was sober.

Yeah, GW parkway is a bad speed trap... But I agree that Fairfax PD would have had his a$$ in a sling. Them boys don't play...

Just bad judgement!!!! As soon as he noticed the officer, he should have hit a quick turn, then got out of the car really quick, grabbed his girl's hand and act like he was taking a walk.. J/K

now he can't drive for 60 days, Guess he won't get to enjoy most of the summer with his new car.

I don't think in jail they provide them with Internet Access so he couldn't confess that who he was.

If you thought that the presence of cops is bad enough, they have already installed some photo radar cameras along the parkway that the park service has been testing... not very discreet since they stick out like a sore thumb and not officially ready to be operated. The scenery is good enough for me to slow down and take it in... damn I miss those days.
