An entertaining story, if nothing else:

I'm having a hard time figuring what physical mechanism might make
the speed double. I want to say this is bogus, despite the highway
patrol (see text and video) obviously taking it as fact... it if was
true, there should be an obvious kinetic energy principle behind it,
but I see none.
