FYI High speed chase solution - safer highways

I wish there was more of that, only with speeders! I can't help but wonder how much heavier the cat vehicle needs to be than the mouse, that's a pretty darn heavy mouse and a Charger likely wouldn't fair too well catching a "Super" duty truck.

When I lived in OH, there was a 23 or 24 yo kid who took daddy's Infiniti M56 to top speed on the highway, somewhere around 155 mph. A witness admitted or alluded to speeding around 80mph and the guy passed him with a delta V of about 75mph. The HEMI Chargers used by the highway patrol top out at under 150 with a lightbar so interception was the objective. It never happened as the kiddo slammed into the back of an elderly couples' car (or minivan?). He survived, they did not. That kid represents the kinda people who really need to be stopped before they start!

Uh-HUH! In a controlled environment, and it worked as planned. This'll be like so many other "promises" made in Popular Mechanics magazine of the past.

Just sayin'.....Roger
