Hardly makes a difference. If he were caught it would be more ammo still. Considering a lot of people clock those speeds quite regularly and are most likely a minority group in crash figures (probably outnumbered by noobs and the anal retentive types that wear high vis vests)
My best reaction time recorded at the drags is 0.0001

More often than not , he would be Right!
A few years ago I was with a group touring - or should I say RACING around the South Island. At one point I was leading a bunch of about 10 bikes. Was doing well over the limit and came across a small crest to see a cop coming in the other direction. He got a hell of a shock - as did I and by the time he had flicked on the radar and lights I was way past. Saw him skid to a halt in a cloud of dust on the side of the road preparing to do the Uey. Just at that moment the rest of the group came flying past him. In the end he just sat there and didnt move. Kept looking in my mirrors for an awfully long time though.
We all had a good laugh about it later that day....
Two days later one of our group was killed instantly in a head on smash at very high speed with a small tourist van. One of the occupants of the van was trapped for a while and injured.
The cops who attended did an awesome job of helping, consoling, comforting and organising counselling (victim support ???) etc for us and acted in an utterly professional and unjudgmental fashion.
It totally changed my attitude to road riding and my opinion of cops out on the road. They are the ones who get to clean up the mess when we get it wrong. They see the devastating results of high speed collisions on a fairly regular basis - if we are lucky its never, or a once in a lifetime thing.
Dont bother telling me what you think of cops (in general) until you have been through an experience like that and seen what they have to deal with on a regular basis
