Police in Georgia have arrested the driver of a Nissan GT-R who was observed traveling at speeds of over 150 mph (242 km/h).
The incident happened on September 24 at approximately 10:30 p.m. when an officer from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office observed two vehicles approaching him on the highway at a high rate of speed while weaving in and out of traffic. The officer clocked the two vehicles traveling at 100 mph (160 km/h) and accelerating. A chase ensued.
Dramatic dashcam footage from the police cruiser shows the officer giving chase along the highway and weaving through traffic in order to keep up. One of the vehicles continued along Buford Highway while the other stayed on Highway 400. The driver of the GT-R eventually exited the highway and started to approach city limits, speeding through local streets at over 100 mph (160 km/h) in their attempt to evade the officer.

Despite being behind the wheel of a stupendously fast sports car, however, the driver of the GT-R was unable to shake the officer.
The officer received the go-ahead to perform a PIT maneuver but mere moments before doing it, the driver of the Nissan hit the brakes and started to slow down. As the officer positioned the cruiser to hit the rear of the GT-R, the driver can be seen sticking one of his hands out of the window, acknowledging that he was surrendering.
The driver was quickly arrested and told police that he felt there was no need to pull over as he had already hit 140 mph (225 km/h). The 27-year-old, Tejas Desai, was charged with reckless driving and felony fleeing and the night before his arrest, had been observed doing 178 mph (286 km/h) in the opposite direction to the deputy.
