Prague car chase participant contests 150 kph speeding in centre

A 26 old whose alleged 150 kilometer an hour car chase with police through the centre of Prague in February last year came to an end when he crashed into two police cars, told a court on Monday that he would have given up earlier if he had known the city better and realized he did not have a chance. The unemployed man said he had come to the capital for a job interview. However, he was driving a stolen Volkswagen car with a false registration. The man said he panicked when he thought he was going to be detained by police and lose his license. The main was eventually stopped when he crashed into two police cars injuring three officers. He said he doubted whether he really reached speeds of 150 kilometers an hour.
