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.
Driving a car at that age and at that speed could very well result in your being sprayed off of a vertical surface with a high-pressure hose. His Mom was probably eternally grateful to that policeman for escorting her son home safely. That man may have become the policeman arriving at her door to inform her that her son was in the morgue instead of in her driveway.
This fake story is total nonsense. Why would Bored Panda publish this garbage?

"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.
People have a right to be reckless. Long as they don't take anybody with them.
I can't find anything that effectively confirms this is a real story. Even so, it's funny. Makes a good point too, sometimes it's best to let a youngsters parents do the work instead of the government. I know I wouldn't let my kid drive the car again if I found out they were driving at that speed.
My fav pulled over story is: I worked an hour away from home when I was 17/18 and got out at midnight. At this time, my little beater car had recently lost its muffler and I was saving to have it replaced. I live right next door to the middle of no where, so as I was driving thru the one stop sign, I saw two cops hanging out just outside the public safety station (combo police/fire/ambulance. Like I said, tiny village). With my muffler gone, my car was LOUD and it was nearly 1am, so I KNEW I was gonna get pulled over. I just kept my eyes on the officers as I started thru the stop sign and he just waved me over. No police car/lights/sirens, anything, just a hand wave. :) He let me off with a warning that time.
Just as an FYI, when you get pulled over by a cop, he/she should never ask "Do you know why l pulled you over?" They should just say: "I pulled you over for x-y reason..." If you answer the question "Do you know why l pulled you over?" with what you think might be the reason, it constitutes admission of guilt... So just answer: "Why?" (Remember the Miranda rights: ...Anything you say can, and will be used against you in a court of law... And they WILL use it against you.)
Miranda is AMERICAN. He was not in America, is not an American and probably never will be. US law IS NOT the law anywhere else, and if you think you can travel and pretend that "it's not illegal in the US", you're going to jail. Idiot.

I got pulled over while driving home after work one night- I wasn't speeding or anything so I was puzzled, until the cop got to the car door, and I recognized him as the guy who sold me my truck a year before....he had stopped me to say hi and to laugh at the fact that the town's most notorious bad boy had just bought the truck from me the day before...the cop said his fellow officers were giving him "so much s**t" that his beloved truck was now being used as a drug delivery car....
I know this is fake, you know this is fake, but little do we notice the lesson here rather than how fake the story is :DD
I am really glad that I'm not the only one completely baffled by this "story"...
If had a kid who drove that fast, I'd be thankful for the cop cause he probably saved his stupid 18 year old a*s. He did a great job, saved the kids life and maybe some others in the traffic.
