71 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone, Texas DPS just outside El Dorado, TX on Christmas Day. The trick was it was 1 minute after sunset when the state wide speed limit was 65 mph at night. So the DPS officer wrote me for 6 mph over. The JP threw it out making the comment that the DPS Trooper was an ass hole for pulling that stunt on Christmas Day.

Been driving for 45+ years and never got a speeding ticket or any moving violation in my life, and I speed like a mother fucker, race to beat the yellow,
ignore signs, cut other drivers off all the time, etc. Never even been pulled over for any of that, but I have been pulled over for a number of times for other shit: suspect vehicle, equipment violation, expired plates, etc. Still never got a ticket. FWIW... I'm a stereotypical Boston driver that even other Boston drivers would be in awe of.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Smithville Ohio was known for this. 37 in 35. 27 in a 25. One weekend they popped the most popular DJ in NE Ohio for 27 in a 25. Every morning for months he would go on an epic rant about those no good sobs and everyone should avoid that hick town. It chapped his ass something fierce and he made it his personal FM mission to destroy that town.

Cars are much safer these days. They are safer but it is older vehicles that are the ones you’ll see broke down on 130. Just because your vehicle can go 85 mph doesn’t mean you should run that speed for close to an hour in triple digit heat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Were you speeding ? Pretty ballsy to flip a cop of going 10+ over. I think if I was inclined to flip a cop off, I'd be doing the speed limit. I made sure I was doing 52 in a 55 before I flipped him off. He was just a badge toting felon. But I already knew that about him, which was why I was flipping off his entire department. I just didn't know it was him in that cruiser until he pulled me over and got out. |

I got stopped for 7 over. 42 in a 35, on Fort Benning, when I was a teenager. It was about 9:30PM, I dropped a friend off from work, his dad was active duty army and he and his family lived on post. I was coming through Harmony Church and didn't really even think about the oncoming headlights until he flipped the blues on and whipped a U-turn to pull me over.

Quoted: Anyone get a ticket for less than 5 MPH over the speed limit? If so, what state was it in? In a 3-cylinder Geo Metro, I got a ticket in Elko, Nevada for going 79 in a 75 (it was on a down-hill portion of the highway) and in my defense, that car couldn't even get to 65 unless it was downhill. I had AZ plates. Later on, I was told that towns like that usually target out of state plates since they know they most likely won't fight it, so they pull them over for pretty much any infraction. |

All but 1 of mine have been written for 5 over. Easter morning heading to my grandparents house for breakfast, 77 in a 55. He 'gave me a break', and wrote it for 70. WTF was a Bloomfield Twsp. cop doing on I-75 anyway.
 Best 1 was 83 in a 45, and not getting a ticket.

Not me, but my wife got a ticket for 30ish (28mph or so). Cop claimed the speed limit was 20mph. Cop got his pepe slapped as he gave a lot of these tickets over a 2 week time (shortly after being hired) - and the speed limit was actually 30.
Basically he was our new chief of police and read city code. Apparently the city code from 50-70 years ago could have been read that unless posted, the speed limit in our entire town was 20mph. Kind of, because it said something like "a safe speed". Perhaps it said something like the speed in the school district was x number of mph lower. But that had never been posted or enforced, the slowest signs in town (accept for the school zone) were 30mph-and that was the slowest speed limit ever enforced in town. --- My worst was about 5mph under the posted. I knew the cop was out and an asshole, so I slowly accelerated from the parking lot with my car in low, and left it in low up to 5mph under the speed limit. He ticketed me for exhibition of acceleration - even though I was damn careful to accelerate slowly. We talked to a lawyer and the lawyer said I was fucked. Corrupt cop, corrupt city judge, corrupt appetite judge. No way I was going to get out of it. |

I had just finished putting a header on my '69 Land Rover, with a 2-1/4 liter 4 cylinder. I had to wind it out to see what my top end was. I was stopped for doing 63 in a 55 PMh area of the highway.
The state trooper gave me a written warning. I told him if he had given me a ticket I would have framed it.

In 1982 I received a ticket from a motorcycle cop in Oklahoma City for 28 in a 25 zone. Not even a school zone. 7 years later after being in the Navy I got hired on by that same agency. That officer was famous or infamous for writing the shit out of everybody. He wrote over 70 speeding citations in one shift and had his own traffic court docket.

Got a ticket for 50 in a 45. Worse part? I paid it immediately online. And a week later driving in exact same area notice the posted speed there was 55. And had been that way forever. So my ticket ended up being for 5 under.

I (and many other cops) used to knock down the speed on the ticket than what the driver was really going.
I quit when a guy going 75 in a 55 complained when I gave him a ticket for only going 5 over. I had knocked it down to 60 in a 55 and he decided to complain. I quit giving breaks after that. Can't do it now with body cams anyway (plus I'm not on the street anymore). |

Ticketed for 38 in a 35.

Unless you're a raging dickhole or some other egregious bullshit, I write everybody for 9 over, which is the cheapest speeding fine we have. I always note the cited speed and the original speed on the citation, and it's always on camera. If I have to go to court for the citation, I ask the judge to amend the fine to the actual speed noted on the citation. |
