OP, where & when in Austria did this happen? Did the police actually "catch" you racing or preparing the race?

Story seems pretty weird. If you're a first time offender (speeding in another country doesnt really count) and you're a valuable part of society (IT freelancer etc.) they wouldnt put you in prison. Probation yes. But prison no.

Only exception they catch you while that topic is currently hot in the media.

The Belgian criminal justice system in general and the prison facilities in particular are a disaster. You don't want to spend a month in there, let alone 2.5 years. It's not quite "Prison Break", but it's no hotel either (although a lot of people who don't know what they're talking about seem to think it is).

Then again, it's quite impossible to be sent to jail for a traffic offence.

There were a few prison sentences lately, but they were always for killing someone (or multiple people) while driving drunk. And all those sentences were for less than 3 years, which means in practice you don't go to prison.

There was one exception, which was a case where a young guy without a licence caused an accident with a borrowed car while drunk and high on cocaine and killed a mother and 3 kids.

He got five years. The fact that he was Romanian may or may not have had something to do with it (again, sad but true).

Anyway, I'm not being helpful to the OP I'm afraid.
good luck getting in prison in belgium, anything under 3years u probably won't even do coz there's no place and everything else u just serve 1/3

Austrian law is awesome.


It's not like they actually caught me speeding. They just assumed we did race and somehow think racing is worse than rape.

Maybe I shouldn't have written speeding as reason in the OP.
in that case flee the country for the next 3 yrs enjoy the us life man.

There's a guy up here in a WA that got caught driving between 130-150mph after drinking in an M6. Last I heard he is still driving around and not in jail. You should move to America.

sooooo, you're a big-time road racer AND GOT CAUGHT BY A COP?

maybe this got brought up already, but if you're on a secluded road, RACING EXTREMELY FAST CARS, how the **** do you get pulled over by the cops?

Maybe we need a prison containment/update thread where we can keep track of all the 4lers who have been, are, or are going to prison.

Exactly the opposite imo. Turn all the electronic stuff off. It brakes single wheels down, but you want them to accelerate. So turning everything off is the only logical option, DUCY?

Do you have any kind of sources, other advice?

I think more they have interfering transmitters or something to prevent the handys and stuff.

Did you ever go 202mph on the Nürburgring? That's something you'll do again.

I really appreciate that.

Tho, I shall not do to others what I don't want them to do to me.
So it has to be consented buttsecks if that's ok with you.

I'll get us some good food and probably a fun time in any case.
