Fresh off his debut on Fast Lane Daily, Davey Johnson sits down with Matt Farah on Garage419 to discuss the new Lotus Evora, the reasons for NOPI’s downfall, supercar fuel economy and hybrid Ferraris.
Eighteen year-old Shaun Malone got pinched for 62 mph in a 45 mph zone last summer but decided to fight the case because data from the GPS tracking device his parents installed in his car showed that he was actually going 45 mph at the time. He lost the case, a trial-by-affidavit, when a GPS expert claimed the data could not have been accurate. His parents then decided to appeal. During the appeal, the GPS expert was called to testify and essentially backtracked on his earlier testimony by saying the Malone’s GPS data was in fact accurate to within a couple of meters and 1 mph.
The final ruling is expected in October and if Malone wins it could set a precedent for GPS as reliable evidence in speeding cases.

Not a great past few days for those who serve and protect us. In Ohio, cops were caught cheating on DUI exams. It seemed to be common knowledge, even amongst high-ranking officers, yet no one did anything about it, until a year later. In St. Louis, they’re driving around in impounded vehicles and selling them for cheap to the daughter of the police chief. In Michigan, one officer managed to earn an extra 21K from all the tickets (and the overtime he clocked in court appearances) he issued.

Want to know what it took to join the U.S. Express back in 1980? Organizers of similar underground illegal races today sure could learn a thing or two from Express organizer Rick Doherty and the boys. Check out 32 Hours 7 Minutes Assistant Editor Adam Bedient’s production blog, then take a look at the acceptance letters…
Oh yeah…I almost forgot. Cory Welles has suggested - maybe - and I’m praying this is true - that the U.S. Express logo depicted above will make its way to the official 3207 movie T-shirts sometime. Soon.

Team Polizei’s West Coast Operative Davey Johnson adds some metallic flavor to yesterday’s Fast Lane Daily. Topics include: the Ferrari California in Gran Turismo, Mexico’s Maretta MXT, bad news for NOPI fans and Subaru’s leaner WRX STi Spec C.
32 Hours 7 Minutes - that little documentary by Cory Welles that we’ve all been dying to see - is in its final stages of production. Assistant editor Adam Bedient is now blogging on the official movie site with twice-weekly updates. In his first blog post, Adam talks about the first private screening of the rough cut. A couple of us here at Team Polizei have seen it, and we’re VERY happy with it…and know you will be, too. Thanks for your patience. You won’t be disappointed.
ALEX ROY WRITES: Everything Peter wrote above is an understatement, and I never exaggerate, of course.
Some of the details are a little murky but this much is true: German police seized a 430 Scuderia, a GT3 RS, a Cayenne, a Continental GT and an R8. One report, according to GT-Spirit, says the cars were stopped for reckless driving. Another article also adds that two of the cars were believed to have been involved in accidents, as one of the cars had dents in it. The owners of the cars (from Britain and Spain) were believed to have been entrants in a" Club GT Events" run/rally/race (semantics) from Cologne to Croatia. Not surprisingly, Club GT Events’ website isn’t functioning at the moment. The car-less drivers then had their licenses confiscated when they tried to rent high-end cars to continue onto Croatia.
Is this the begining of the end of rallies? At least in Germany and Switzerland it is.

The town of Swindon has spent (or spends) 400K Pounds to fund speed cameras in their district but the proceeds from the ticket fines goes straight to the central government. Town leaders, Roderick Bluh and Peter Greenhalgh, think that "speed cameras might not be the most effective way to reduce accidents" and are "reviewing their involvement in the local safety camera partnership scheme."
