Man gets ticket for driving at 310mph

A Romanian driver was stunned to receive a speeding ticket - for driving his 15-year-old Renault at 310mph.

Driver Toader Moise, 62, was told he had clocked up the incredible speed in the narrow, bendy streets of the mountain city of Sinaia.

The car, which had a maximum speed of 110mph when it was brand new, is up for sale but Mr Moise is now considering upping the price.

"It was really hilarious and I think I should get into the book of records with this," he said. "How could I drive my 15-year-old Renault K65 at 310mph when I can barely get her do 70mph?"

Police are investigating to see if the speeding ticket was down to a radar malfunction or a mistake by the officer who wrote the ticket

 

What kind of tires does he use?

 

aviation rated.

 

Total sleeper

 

Doesn't Romania use metric measures ie; kph not mph?
193mph is still pretty fast.

 

Everybody knows that the EU allows higher fuel grades.

 

One hell of a tail wind!

 

I think I once had my doors blown off by a car like that.....Rubasu WRX STI or some sh*t like that....

 

The British paper has clearly converted to mph, the last Imperial unit used in England (waits for anoraks to "correct" me.)

Note that 310 mph is 500km/h.

Yes, it is. Significant digits are significant.

 

This is how that ticket would be disputed inside the Carol Miller Justice Center in Sacramento California, I kid you not. :

Driver: Your honor, there is no possible way my car will go 300+ mph

Judge: Mr. xxxxx, you were caught speeding, do you wish to plead guilty now?

Driver: Your honor, (judge interrupts)

Judge: Mr. xxxxx, would you like to plead guilty now?

Driver: Your honor, (judge interrupts again)

Judge: Mr. xxxxx, would you mind going through those doors to settle your ticket, Balif, please escort Mr xxxxx.

 

maybe he had a Nissan GTR engine inside?

 

I bet it can do 310mph.

Off a cliff.

 

It probably couldn't even do 200mph at terminal velocity

 

damn...now my wife will NEVER let me get NOS!

 

What does a K65 look like??

So it's a K56, which must be a Laguna.
