18 Y.O. Guy Driving 115 MPH Wasn’t Breaking Any Regulations So Police Found A Genius Way To Punish Him
Getting pulled over by the police can be quite stressful, especially when you’re a teenager. It can get even more stressful when you have no idea what you’ve done to attract their attention. Andrew Katz from the UK definitely can relate to this feeling.
When someone on Quora asked, “What is your most interesting encounter with the police?” Andrew responded by telling the story of a strange ordeal he had with a police officer when he was 18 years old. One evening Andrew was driving his mother’s car and got pulled over by a cop. The teenager believed he was driving above the speed limit, but the officer said it was not the case. The situation got really weird when the officer told him to go home without specifying what was wrong, and proceeded to follow the teenager in his car. However, as Andrew pulled over in the driveway of his home, he realized that this policeman was trying to teach him a lesson. Scroll below to read the whole story!

That's because this story is fake and was apparently written by either a very young child or a person with brain damage.

Driving at 185 km an hour on anything but a highway, especially for somebody who just got their licence (as far as I know 18 is the age you can get a licence all over Europe) is a disaster waiting to happen. The cop might have saved his life or somebody else's, even if stopping him wasn't quite justified.

Calling your mom is forbidden in every world convention in the history of humanity! So when this happens to you, it's the worst ever and you'll never forget it! :D The "Laughs in German" got me too! XD

There seems to be a lot of confusion in these comments about why this person was stopped, and I'm assuming it's because most don't know how driving rules work in Isle of Man. Although there are no speed limits it is still a driving offence to drive recklessly, and essentially you're meant to use common driving sense. So if a police offer sees someone driving at a 'reckless' speed when taking a corner for example, they can still pull you over. However, unless they're are witnesses etc. it's hard to prove 'recklessness' so the officer didn't take it any further in a legal sense. The mother would obviously be annoyed because anyone driving at 115mph on the isle of man is a moron.

"A person wasn’t breaking any regulations so police found a genius way to punish him". Seriously? SERIOUSLY? You congratulate a policeman for punishing an INNOCENT man? Policeman could consider himself happy as no one lodged a complaint for stalking (the driver was not wanted, intoxicated or a suspect in any crime) and unwarranted use of signals in residential zone. Sure, if it was small community, then no harm was done as everyone knows everyone there and this would pass for a practical joke. But punishing someone for not breaking any rules is a blatant abuse of power. Oh, and the story is fake. Driving at 115 mph on a local road would most likely be classified as dangerous driving according to section 2 of the Road Traffic Act of 1988, so the policeman just let an offense slide (it would be hard to prosecute), but not without consequences.

I was in a bad carcrash once. Being the inland of north of Sweden, police showed up 2 days later (today, the would not show up at all). The officer, who was grown up local and an old friend of my father, asked me why I wanted the cops to come at all. "Its easier with the insurance company, I said (true). The next question was "do you want the other driver to get nicked?" When I answered "no, its only so I can show to the insurance company that there been a police investigation", he started to talk about fishing, That was the whole investigation: i rode in the policecar to the site to show it, and we satand talked mainly fishing for half an hour. The aftermath is my whiplash, that is still keeping me from working more then half time some 18 years later.
