Nope, still doesn't work. The fastest commercially available cars don't go much faster than 220mph, which is about 350kmh.

According to that list, the fastest is 295 mph ≈ 474 km/h

If they were going that fast, they wouldn't be getting a simple citation that could be resolved in traffic court, that's straight to jail levels of recklessness...

that's faster than most helicopters, if they've got a long enough straight, they're getting away lol

If they've got the gas for it.

A Bugatti Chiron can do 440km/h. If the 100 litre tank was filled at the beginning, then the car will travel for 9 minutes at top speed before running out of gas.

good point

i guess if I've got Bugatti money I've probably got money for a helicopter of my own, why the hell am I going 440kph in traffic lmao

Damn, there goes my pride in my reading comprehension skills. Still pretty dang close when all you have to do is change 'no commercially available car' to 'no reasonably available car'.
