It was 2 bucks a mile last time I wrote a ticket...and mandatory court appearance.
A slap on the back of the head for pulling over and waiting for the cop. At 170 mph, exactly when would that cop have caught her? :lol:
I once passed a cop south of Albuquerque going "P". The needle on my speedometer had passed the limit and was facing the bottom where it said MPH. He never moved off the median.
Jail time, seizure of vehicle.
100mph over is so ludicrously over the limit you shouldn't be allowed to drive a car again. There's no fixing someone with that little regard for the lives of others. And don't give me this "empty highway" fantasy. You aren't driving on a closed course.
A highway patrol car on a good condition 4 lane divided highway with a 70 mph speed limit, no other cars on the highway in a remote area picks up a sole car doing 170 mph heading his way on the other side empty and flat open area 2 lanes. A new Corette ZR 1 designed to go 200 mph. When the officer pulls across the center medium, the ZR1 driver (no passenger) pulls over anticipating being stopped.
What should the officer do and what should the penalty be?
Multiple choice, public vote.

Reckless driving; driving too fast for conditions; 100 miles over the speed limit; and whatever other books can be thrown at the idiot. I'd say jail time.
You have never been on a stretch of highway were there is nobody for hours have you? Jail time is unnecessary and uncalled for. Just empty the pocket book.

170 mph is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. A blow-out? You're toast. A serious mechanical failure? You're toast.
And so is anyone in your path. Reeeeeedickalos.
So you're basically saying it's OK to break the law as long as you think it's not dangerous to anyone else?

That's the point of a long lonely road, there is NOBODY. The only people your going to kill is yourself, and or the occasional cow. It would most likely literally be hours before your FUBAR circus was found. Speeding however fast is no reason to put anyone in jail. That's a waste of resources.
Pro driving tip. Don't ever hit a cow or any other animal that size straight on. Its the equivalent of a four legged wall. There is NO give.
Seize the car and auction it to make up for the resources lost. And if the car was not his, clean up crew on the freeway every weekend for 2 years.
