    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Juan Bido, Appellant.
    [653 NYS2d 303]
   Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (James Leff, J.), rendered October 25, 1993, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of attempted robbery in the first and second degrees, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 7½ to 15 years and 3½ to 7 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), a reasonable jury could have concluded that defendant was a participant in the attempted robbery. The jury could reasonably have concluded that defendant was sitting in a car double-parked near the scene of the crime with the engine running and the doors unlocked, and that as soon as one of the codefendants got into the car, defendant drove at a high speed, running through several red lights and swerving into the wrong traffic lane, and drove four more blocks after it was clear that the police were following. Finally, the gun, used by the codefendant in furtherance of the crime, was found under the front passenger’s seat, occupied by the codefendant. All these factors could lead a reasonable trier of fact to conclude that there was a pre-arranged plan between the actual perpetrators and defendant (see, People v Jackson, 44 NY2d 935). The testimony of the two arresting officers that defendant appeared calm after the high speed and wild automobile chase did not constitute impermissible comment on defendant’s right to remain silent, but rather, in light of defendant’s version of the incident, was an appropriate observation of defendant’s demeanor, over which he did not exercise conscious or knowing control (see, People v Hager, 69 NY2d 141). The prosecutor’s summation comment on defendant’s silence was not objected to, and was responsive to defendant’s own summation (see, People v D’Alessandro, 184 AD2d 114, 118-119, Iv denied 81 NY2d 884).
