It's apparent I need to live in a country whose laws are taken from the UK legal system.

British court: 150 mph on a public road without insurance isn't 'dangerous driving' - Autoblog:

British leadfoots, you've got a friend in Caroline Lister. The British Recorder in a Winchester court let 21-year-old Nicholas Whittle off the hook after he was clocked touching 150 mph in daddy's Porsche Boxster. 90 mph over the speed limit. Without insurance.

Lister threw the case out of court, arguing Whittle 'went fast for a short time only on a straight road with excellent visibility.' The potentate argued that excessive speed in-and-of-itself isn't enough to be ruled dangerous driving, particularly as road conditions that day were conducive to fast driving.

See? If I can somehow leverage that to my own benefit, it opens up a whole new range of hobbies.

Of course, bereaving the local constabulary of their cash-cow will not be seen as amusing.
