IT'S FAKE....
All hail Philip Odegard - the man who allegedly managed to go over 210mph in a Bugatti Veyron and get a speeding ticket for his trouble.Jalopnik and Top Gear both ran the story originally, but now Odegard has removed the ticket from his Flickr photostream, and the CHP confirmed it was afake. The ticket was doctored from a 100mph one that he received whilst driving a 2004 Infiniti. The original ticket has alsovanished from Odegard's Flickr photostream. Fortunately, keen-eyed car nerds like me grabbed a copy while we could.
There's a couple of issues with the original story that would lead you to believe it really is a fake.
The first is : how the hell did a stock police cruiser actually catch a Veyron? Unless the CHP have invested in McLaren F1's, there's no way thishappened. The ticket is an "in person" ticket, not one from a speed camera so the implication is that the cruiser either caught him up, or he juststopped. Frankly if I was going that fast in a Veyron, I'd know the police couldn't catch me and I'd keep going.
The second problem is this : police issue radar guns timeout at about 179mph - you just get and "EE" message on the display, meaning"error". So Odegard could not have been clocked at "210+" as the ticket indicates.
The final problem is the speed itself. 210mph is 308 feet per second. That's just shy of one regulation football (soccer for the Americans) pitch persecond. At that speed, by the time the officer had registered the Veyron, put down the radar gun, flicked on the lights and sirens, started the engine andpulled out, the Veyron would have already been over a third of a mile away. Odegard would not have even seen the cop in his mirrors.

They showed this on top gear. Dude had to pay the $500 dollar fine which shouldnt be too much for someone who can afford a Bugatti.

i was skeptical before i read the replies. He would have gotten a reckless driving ticket, and most likely would have had his car impounded on the spot.

My cousin did that on his motorcycle - he went past a stationary cop car at about 130. He was getting a bit far away from the guys he was riding with so hepulled in to wait for them and the cop told him that that was his mistake - they would never have seen him again if he'd kept going.
Cost him a year without his licence.
