It wasnt the speed it was the failing to stop and crashing the car, although no person was injured they done me with dagerous driving. Mandatory ban and resit driving test.

With the proper machinery you can get away.

If they let you get away. There was only one police car involved and no helicopter here, but the police did the right thing.

What's the need for stopping someone involving multiple police cars/helicopters, huge risks to other road users and enormous expense, unless they believe you need to be arrested there and then. In this case, they have the registration number and video evidence of the car doing twice as much as the speed limit (or more). Do you think they are going to send flowers to the driver?.
