Fate of the 218 MPH Murci Driver?

Anyone hear anything on this cat? Last I heard he had himself a grocery list of issues with the law!

Since the vid never showed his face they likely are having a difficult time charging the "driver". Although there is alot of video evidence they must convince the DA to press charges. recent events have definately opened the eye's of law enforcement . Everyone in AZ and obviously anywhere needs to obey the law and do high speed runs on an oval or take the car to Gustav and let him turn the Lamborghini into a mere mortal.

218 mph seems a little hard to beleive. Is the evidence based on the indicated speed of the speedometer?

These things are not always accurate, especially if the owner installed aftermarket wheels. I bet he didn't do a mile over 200

From what I've read the owner of the car is a well known Dentist down there and the car hasn't been seen on the roads since the video apparently.

So should I be worried if my wife has been going to the dentist a little too frequently?
