Default Driver arrested after being clocked at over 135 mph on Highway 520 bridge

A Bellevue man with a long history of traffic violations was busted in
Medina early Saturday after troopers spotted him racing his BMW M6 across
the Highway 520 floating bridge at speeds estimated over 135 miles per
hour.

Vladislav O. Orlovskii, 24, was arrested on investigation of drunken
driving and reckless driving. Orlovskii posted bail and was released from
jail a few hours after his arrest.

According to the State Patrol:

A trooper saw Orlovskii's white sports car eastbound at "an extremely high
rate of speed" just after 1 a.m. The BMW was weaving in and out of traffic
and passing other motorists on the bridge, which has a posted speed limit
of 50 mph.

The trooper attempted to follow Orlovskii but was forced to slow down out
of concern for his own safety. Another trooper listening to the police
radio was parked just east of the bridge and was able to stop the car on
the exit ramp to 84th Avenue Northeast in Medina.

During the traffic stop, Orlovskii gave no explanation for the speed.
Troopers said his eyes appeared to be "bloodshot" and "watery" and they
were concerned that Orlovskii was intoxicated, according to booking
paperwork.

According to the State Patrol, Orlovskii registered a breath-alcohol
content of 0.081 percent upon arrest.

A time/distance calculation revealed that from the time the first trooper
spotted Orlovskii's car to the time of the stop, the Bellevue man had
covered 2.59 miles in exactly 1 minute, 8 seconds; which is an average
speed of 137 mph, or 201 feet per second.

According to a criminal-records check, Orlovskii was arrested Feb. 8 for
speeding and inattention to driving. On Monday, Bellevue District Court
Judge Linda Jacke ordered him to pay a $124 fine for that offense.

Orlovskii also has been stopped for failing to use a seat belt, having
deeply tinted vehicle windows and failure to use turn signals, according
to court records.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact, to
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B. Rangel of New York's
million dollar tax evasion. On February 25, 2010, the House ethics
committee has concluded that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles B.
Rangel knowingly accepted Caribbean trips in violation of House rules that
forbid hidden financing by corporations. Democrat criminal Nancy Pelosi
is deliberately ignoring the million dollar tax evasion of Democrat
Charles Rangel.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to be forced to remove Charles B. Rangel
from the House Ways and Means Committee.
