  1. Is this a joke? How do you “lose sight” of someone doing 100mph on hwy 101?
    Also Matt, you need an editor. Or maybe back off the dope you advertise on your site….

  2. Any update to this story?
    My husband was headed towards Lakeport on 175 and one of the law enforcement vehicles almost hit him head on coming around a curve on the mountain.

  3. You’re telling us that a Mercedes’ can outrun a CHP Dodge Charger that’s got a ton of power?? I can see it out running a lake county sheriffs car but not the CHP. Sounds like someone doesn’t know how to drive at high speed. I hope I’m wrong but it just seems strange !!!
