He would be a bit more safe going those high speeds, because he has training / track experience.

no it's quite simple...

in a rally race there are stages, at these stages they can go as fast as possible

however

the stages have some distance between the end of one stage and the beginning of the next or the location of the work area...

that being said in order to move to the next stage or the work area they have to drive on public roads and obey the posted limit and if they don't they risk seeing the boys in blue just like you would if you sped on the streets here...

I still think that's so funny, put a race car driver, in super suped up car, then try to force him to drive all normal and obey all the signs and see if they can do it.

I don't think he stopped, I think they caught them when they got to service.

LOL they're living GTA3 ! Police Helicopter
