story says they were clocked at 145 on the highway, then spotted the cop, then tried to use excessive speed on the exit where they landed into the pumps. that's a relatively expensive Hooters breakfast!
totally stupid inexperienced youths jam-packed with testosterone. obviously stupid to be doing 145, especially with passengers. at that point, it's not funny anymore and i would yell at the driver and stop the friendship immediately.
next, i have to admit that if i was speeding above the limit and saw a speed gun being pointed at me, my instinct would be to pull off at the nearest exit and do a little figure-8 or maybe hide out in a back parking lot somewhere until things tamed down... naturally that's what the best option is because i have been in situations where i was honest and have had to pay a huge fine for accepting the 11 miles over. however, these guys were idiots.
