In my state he would be facing jail time. The DUI plus the speed he was driving is a double whammy.

In California, if you exceed 100, you are arrested and taken to jail. The vehicle is impounded.

Are you certain about that? I travel 15 between L.A. and L.V. several times a year, and it is common to see vehicle travelling over 100, and I am sometimes one of them. If you are correct, I will have to change my ways.

Maybe they'll come out with Red Flag laws on drivers. If someone believes you'll speed and you own a Corvette they'll seize it for your protection.

I lived in the SF Bay Area until 2008, and it was commonly known. I know people on bikes and cars taken to jail, and their vehicles towed. They kept them for 30 days. I don't believe anyone did time though. And there was huge fine. Just like anytime, the cops will nab one person even if everyone was speeding. I know someone who got nabbed near the Grapevine. I try not to be the rabbit, or the one bringing up the rear when speeding.
