Mercedes Gets A 117 MPH Brutal PIT Maneuver

Read the full story on The Auto Wire

Even with the most powerful cars, operating from police is stuffed with dangers, however this Mercedes C250 isn’t precisely a speed demon. The man driving it doesn’t appear to thoroughly perceive that, we guess believing his little German sedan might smoke an Arkansas State Police cruiser. He was fallacious.

Who’s at fault in this crash between a cop and citizen?

Based on the trooper who did the brutal, high-speed PIT maneuver, he clocked the suspect going 106 mph in a 65 mph zone. Plus, when he ran the plates, they got here again within the system with no proof of insurance coverage on file with the state.

Cease and take into consideration that for a second: a man driving a Mercedes at over one and a half instances the pace restrict on the freeway apparently doesn’t have insurance coverage. Then he decides to run from police, we guess due to the dearth of insurance coverage and the very fact he’s going to get an enormous ticket, plus seemingly have his experience impounded whereas he’s arrested.

Identical to we all the time say, the one technique to make each bad situation worse is to run from police. And this man does, pushing his little sedan to 117 mph. He doesn’t outpace the trooper at that pace and we surprise if that was a shock to him.

At one level he shuts off the Mercedes’ lights, making an attempt to black out and disappear into the evening. However he’s in a brilliant silver automobile and retains using the brakes, illuminating the taillights. It’s virtually like this man has no thought what he’s doing.

The chase doesn’t final lengthy in any respect, thanks partly to the Mercedes being severely outgunned, because the ASP cruiser chases it down like a leopard in pursuit of a rabbit. Personally, even when we have been dumb sufficient to run from police (we aren’t) and an Arkansas trooper began getting proper behind us, we might simply pull over and give up earlier than the inevitable have been to occur.

However this man isn’t good and he doesn’t do it, so his lovely Mercedes-Benz will get pitted out at 117 mph, sustaining some crash injury. He’s fortunate he walked away from that
