If he'd been on some sections of the autobahn it wouldn't even have been speeding.

Stupid logic.

So what was Knocky driving if the police were in his car

This post made me laugh!

(But was v disappointed in Knocky really as I can’t stand arrogant, dangerous drivers)

Can you explain why? Doing 110 doesn't suddenly mean you're endangering life.

He wasn't though was he. What a ridiculous statement.

1) Wasn't done for speeding

2) Would have probably have been done in Germany for driving like that.

Driving like what? Perhaps there's some evidence of him driving really badly, in which case, ok, fair enough (etc). All I know so far is that he was doing 110 in a 70.

Firstly, he's a complete knob and probably realizes that now.

However, there does appear to be some holes in the info, possible in the actual facts or possible in the dire reporting.

Nowhere does it state what speed he was actually doing yet many are banging on about him doing over 40mph above the limit. The article only states that it was the Police that drove at 110mph to catch him up! If they were waiting at the side of the road then of course they are going to have to drive faster to catch him up!

Find it odd that they were not able to record his speed as I thought all traffic cops had cars with equipment in them to identify the speed plus dash cams to record and provide evidence of the manner of driving. Not like the old days with a radar gun. It seems he was convicted purely on the manner of his driving, ie tailgating. For all we know he might have been doing 85mph. Still breaking the law but hardly excessive.

As for the club, I would very much suspect they are dealing with this and no doubt the player liaison officer is involved. I would hardly expect the club to broadcast how they deal with matter internally!

The other thing is that it was described as a police chase which I would understand is when someone tries to evade the Police. Doesn't sound like this was actually the case.

Afraid you don't know that. All you know is that is how fast the Police drove to catch up with him.

Fair point, he may have been doing less than 110. So what evidence are people using, apart from the fact that he was speeding? Doing over 100 would count as undue care and attention from the police, so is there anything showing it was more than that?

The article actually says, if I am reading correctly (as you say reporting is a bit crap), that the police were unable to reduce the distance between them and his car, despite the police reaching speeds of 110mph, which implies AK was driving at a similar speed:

"The police reached a speed of 110mph as they were trying to catch the black car," said Mr Day.

"They were unable to reduce the distance between them."

They article says he "was clocked cruising on the A27 between the Hove and Shoreham junction 40mph above the speed limit".

The article implies, but does not say, he could only be caught once traffic had slowed him down.

The article says he was "weaving through the road and using excessive speed and tailgating".
