    This is not a rumour so spread the word...and hopefully the problem will sort itself out.
    More "designated decoys" to lure out the ecilops perhaps???

    In Italy, it is possible to get an exempt license.
    On a 60 Minutes item on Lambourghini, the test driver, had such a license.
    Sensible people,the Italians

    So when you go past their version of Highway Patrol at 200kph+ do you hold this special licence out the window so they can see you have the 'special' licence?

    Or is it produced after you get pulled up?
    How do they know you have one otherwise?

    They're Italian, if you come up behind them in a supercar at 200+ they'll wave you to go faster.
    There's more to life than speed limits, they're more concerned whether Armani or Prada will design their new uniforms.

    Considering the 'standard profile' of a Canadian road death is a young male in a pick-up truck, not wearing a seatbelt with a good liklihood of alcohol being involved (true!) I'm not surprised at that outcome.

    Nothing like letting a judge decide, saves arguements.

    And they ALWAYS make the right decision. (roll in the Tuis ad.)

    Of course you'd have to stop (although at that speed I doubt you'd be caught so I'm guessing the speed limit would be considerably less...) but I'd be grinning ear to ear as I pulled out that exemption to show him!
