..............you've just hit 140mph and pulling.............. under the junction and you hit 150

as you pass the on-ramp you get a fleeting glimpse of a Police Jam Sandwich..........

assuming a totally deserted motorway.......

at a speed of 140mph/233kmh you will be covering ground at 3.88km per minute

It's going to take the cop car at least 10 secs to move off and a further 20 secs to accelerate to 100.....even longer to reach 145 probably another 15 secs.....he'll never have the speed to real you in so will be stuck an easy 4km behind you or 2.5 miles

I reckon with a bit of luck you could pull some distance and then find and artic to hide with?

twasn't me officer

Bridge]Cannonball (cannonball)
Cannonball (cannonball)
Cannonball

[Chorus]It's not what you do
It's how you do it.
Be anything you want to be
It's not what you got
It's how you use it
You be you
And I'll be me
It's just a matter of style
You can fake it
Mile after mile
Feeling free
If you got the soul
you can make it
Move-em out (move 'em out)
Let 'em roll (let 'em roll)
From sea to shining sea
Ball (ball)
Cannonball (cannonball)

What do you do if a mountain is there?
(move it)
How do you answer to a challenge in today?
(take it)
When your back's against the wall?
(fake it)
What do you do when you've done it all?
(ball)

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Cannonball! (cannonball-cannonball)

this has got to be a wind up!

Zero with your mystic powers you would be doing 70 and not 1 mph more as you know where all the cops, cams, mobile cams, radar and spec sites are, being oh so alert!


Failing that how about the option of screaming 'they will never take me or the S!!!' and head for the white cliffs of Dover!!
