The Swiss hate cars, don't know why, but they do.
I say the guy follow my 2 step plan and give the Swiss tax man the finger by moving his asset to the UK and get a visa back to Switzerland. Then both the Swiss and the UK tax man can't touch him.
Sometimes government like this needs to get a lesson on lost future tax revenue.

At 210mph, you're covering 310 feet per second. Give approximately 30-45 seconds for an officer to look at the readout, process what it says, put the vehicle into gear, throw on the lights and siren, look at incoming traffic, find a hole to pop out into, and then maneuver into it.
That gives you a 1.7613 to 2.6420 mile lead before the officer is even out of his spot. Combine that with the fact your concentration will not be behind him, but rather, hundreds of feet ahead of him (else he wreck), chances are, you'll never even notice that you were tagged (save a radar/laser detector). Especially if the road is anything less than a straight shot.
The majority of the CHP fleet are Ford Crown Vics, a vehicle that takes 8.7 seconds to from 0-60.
Thus, by the time the vehicle finally gets to a safe speed on the freeway, and is able to radio in without taking concentration from the task at hand (getting into traffic), you're now holding up to a 3 mile lead on the officer before a radio call was probably made.
At that point, you have a few options available to yourself. You can slow down and pull over, or you can make a run for it.
If you're close, and I mean extremely close to a few exits, the likelihood of escape can increase greatly. Chances are, the only visual identification made was very general. If you can get off the freeway, and find a place to park the vehicle out of sight and kill a bit of time, well, you might just make it.
But one thing's for sure: you better damn sure know the area like the back of your hand.
