To the Black Model 3 that blew past me on West 80 in Davis

I hope you didn't go to jail. I was doing 75MPH when you passed me like I was standing still. Then 20 seconds later a Charger CHP flew past at about 150MPH. You made it to Dixon when I drove past you too.

That's going to be one expensive ticket.

You'll find the car in the impound yard and him in the pokey. Oops.

Get the dashcam footage by chance? We can start making a "Best of Tesla Drivers" compilation.

I hope that driver is punished to the full extent of the law. If that includes jail, then so be it. Reckless driving on public roads endangers us all.

Off-topic, but the Tesla dashcam footage seems to be in slow motion. This encounter wouldn't look so fast on the video.

I had a guy run across the street between parked cars directly in front of me recently. I slammed on the brakes and fortunately didn't hit him. It was very close and my daughter was impressed with how quickly I reacted. Anyway, the guy was running very fast. In the dashcam footage, it looked much slower than in real life.....not even worth showing because it looks like no big deal.

I found the same thing. I forgot the situation, but some nut passed us like we were standing still. So I saved a clip and in the Video it seemed like no big deal.

I think no sound is part of it.

For Californians:

• Over 100 mph can get you a CVC 22348. This is 2 point ticket like drunk driving. The judge can suspend your license and so can the DMV.
• But you could also get a Reckless CVC 23103. Again a two point with possible suspensions. In the past drunk driving was often reduced to this CVC in a plea bargain, so your insurance might consider to be a DWI.
• Finally you can get a the biggie. The infamous Speed Contest / Exhibition of Speed CVC 23109. This is the big gun. While it's still a two point, you are far more likely to get suspended and some counties will seize your car for XX days or forever.

I learned these facts the hard way when I was young.

I think he or she has a good chance of getting away.

Until the CHP helicopter just follows the dufus to his nest and then they arrest them.

No need to endanger the rest of us chasing down these idiots.

Damn, people are really taking advantage of the lockdown to drive as fast as they can eh...

I think he or she has a good chance of getting away.

If there's cars faster than the radio and the helicopter that costs around the price of the Model 3, sign me up...
