I have done 140mph on the A9 and I have not been on a police
training course.

On your bicycle?
And no, you have not done 140mph on the A9. I do know that road.
Unfortunately.

An Alfa goes faster than a Micra.

No **** Sherlock. I now drive a Nissan Juke. And I really don't care which
is faster.

Anyway, how it hanging these days Simon?

Why are you chatting up a man in lycra?

Because I'm not and because I have chatted to him for many years. He is not
a lying ****. You are. ****.

Ignore Hucker, he is one step away from being sectioned.

At least I do not ride a bicycle.

But you do and you are.

That's a jumbo Micra. And the ones I've seen mostly have only 3 doors.

Because your brain is too slow to operate a fast motor vehicle.

He is a cyclist. Enough said.

Only offroad, and there is nothing wrong with my brain, it's everyone else that's wrong.

Limey cars don't go that fast, even downhill.
LOL

I got a Rover Maestro to go 113mph downhill (while overtaking an off duty policeman!). And Simon owns an Italian car, which means it's fast 10% of the time and won't start 90% of the time.

As do I, and 140 mph is not beyond the realm of possibility. I .. I mean,
someone I know, saw 140 mph between Perth and Dunkeld on a Yamaha FJR1300.

Careful near Dundee, the police around there are utter arseholes. You'll be checked for speeding and alcohol levels.

Well, first of all, the training is expensive.* Who will pay
for it?

Well if you believe the government, they could pay for it, as it would
remove all the accidents they pay for.

Please support what you have said.
What elected government official has proposed that expensive
a training program?

I managed an EVOC program for over a decade. Prior to that,
in a 'ramping up' period I had worked with a very large
city department's EVOC program. It had slowly gone into
hibernation for lack of allocated resources. The budget makers
were shown that car accidents, car damages, and lawsuit losses
were mounting. It was still tough to get a budget.

And it is time consuming, so most drivers (your "everyone")
will not spend the time willingly.* Also, the police driving
courses (actual title is EVOC = Emergency Vehicle Operator's
Course) has a selective advantage.* The students have already been
mostly per-screened for good age (21-55 years old), above
average physical condition and coordination, and intelligence.

A policeman with intelligence, that I have yet to see.

Well, if you are in a political jurisdiction that refuses
to make the benefit package, and the recruitment, selection,
hiring, training, and continuing education, along with
promotions such that your law enforcement officers
seem to the average citizen, to lack "intelligence",
I guess you all have got, what you deserve.

Even back in the early 1970s in the department I spent
a career with, 9 out of 10 of our LEOs had finished
college with BAs or BSs, and we had a fair number of
Masters.

Over here in America we have real freeways where a feller can actually
go that fast.
Over there yer roads are for little old ladies, like Miss Daisy.
LOL

Well, England, and the rest of UK, Germany and France all have
some pretty decent roads.* You can go plenty fast on the
autobahn, but what I found interesting was that in a fair
number of days driving there, every day had some traffic
hold up.* We would be driving along at 145 kph (~90mph)
and then all lanes slow,,,, and park for an hour or so.
No one got any idea why.* Then eventually, we all start
rolling again, with no idea what the problem was.
We didn't even see a dead squirrel on the shoulder!

In the UK, the police shut a road if someone breaks a wingmirror.

Perhaps that is what happened to us in April 2016.
Driving from Stonehenge back towards London, suck, slow to
a crawl and stop for 1 1/2 hours. Like most traffic
jams in Europe, never did figure it out.

Yes - I have done 140mph on the A9 Autobahn in January 2017 near Dresden in my Alfa 159 and have the video dashcam footage to prove it. Off for an interview in Pocklington today after chucking the Watercare Intl job last April.
