Quote HistoryQuoted:
I got caught 99/55 once and didn’t even get a ticket 
I would get to work every morning around 4-4:30, as I would get there 30 minutes early and take a nap without being late. We would usually start around 4:30-5 depending on what the work day looked like. My boss got there early for one day the whole 4 years I worked there, and it just so happened to be this day luckily. So I live in a small west Texas town, and I leave my house like normal that morning. I drive 60 through town and didn’t see a single soul as usual. Speed limit was 45 through there. I roll through a stop sign without a complete stop, then punch it as my usual routine. By the time I’m leaving town I’m governed out at 99, and still have a 3 mile drive to the shop. As I’m pulling up to work I notice red and blues about to turn into our entrance. He pulls up next to me and proceeds to lecture me about my speed. I look towards the shop just in time to see my boss opening up the shop by himself since he’s early. I look over to the cops who’s calmed down by the point, and ask him “can you hurry up and write the ticket. We’ve got a big job going today, and I’m late for work?” The cop says he’s feeling nice this morning and he’s just going to give me a verbal warning since there wasn’t another vehicle on the road at all that morning. I breathe a sigh of relief and head into work. 20 minutes later another work buddy pulls up and thanks me. Says he just got pulled over right before the office, and he was clocked at 95/55. The officer told him he was only letting him off because he let me off. 5 minutes later another buddy pulled over for 90+ in the same spot. This time the officer told him he better fucking call everyone of us and tell us to slow down, as he wasn’t giving us anymore Fucking warnings Quote HistoryQuoted:

My worst is 94 in a 75 in Utah. The cop was heading the other way on the interstate when we passed each other and he caught up about 20 minutes later. Was doing about 110 when we passed and probably 100 when he turned on the lights. He had to be flying to ever catch up to me.

158mph at 1:30 am? Jesus Christ what a fucking joke. Give him a ticket and tell him not to be a dumbass. I'm so sick of this bullshit jail for crimes that don't fucking harm anyone else. Kill someone in your car going 158? Death penalty. Drive really fast and hurt no one? Not an issue.

I’m also a little shocked how severe the penalties for speeding can be in some states.
In PA, 31mph or more over the speed limit is a 15 day suspension, a fine, and some points. You could be going 200mph and still won’t spend a day in jail. Even reckless driving is a summary offense with some points and a fine. And you don’t get pulled out of your car and placed in handcuffs. You just get handed the citations and are sent on your way. Meanwhile in other states going that fast is a misdemeanor with mandatory jail time

If he brings his Chicago attorney with him after pissing off the court by missing his initial hearing its going to look like a scene from my cousin Vinny. Him claiming a hardship with his union job and pay scale probably elevated the judge's anger seeing as how he makes more than the municipal judge does and he's driving a $70k + car to boot. If he keeps his Chicago attitude up his future weekend in the county jail will fly by after his trial.

I'm betting you've never seen a highway wreck before. I saw one happen right in front of me with a car hitting a shitty minivan. Couldn't have been going more than 60 mph or so.

Been 130ish in several Mustangs I've owned. Been 150ish in a my TA countless times. 160-180 on several sportbikes I've owned. 190+ as a passenger in a 900hp Supra. What all these top end runs have in common is they were all performed on empty highways late at night . No traffic, clear view for miles, no bends, no entrances or exits. People interested in cars and performance will run their vehicles on public roadways and there is no stopping them. It's no different than Jay Leno on Leno's garage (real hardened criminal right there). Imagine what he does on public roadways off camera. Even with the threat of jail and fines there is no stopping a performance affectioniato as it's in their blood. Everytime I pull a performance vehicle out of my garage I am testing it's acceleration and looking for unsuspecting victims at the next traffic light or the local street races (late at night of course on empty roads). It's an adrenaline fueled chest beating experience available at the drop of a dime and all I have to do is walk 30 feet feet to the garage, check tire pressures, and hop in a car. If I get caught I'll pay the fine and do the time then I'll go right back to it. Hasn't happened yet in 25 years though (knock on wood of course).
Some of you folks need to realize that performance vehicles sell for a reason. Gearheads are modifying cars for a reason.... There is a demand just as there was a demand 100 years ago and this demand isn't centered around some rich guy solely going to a race track or drag strip. |

I think you should be able to buy anything you want.
I just don't see the payoff to buying a car that will go 125, at least in urban areas. 1. There are few if any safe places to do it, i.e. areas with zero traffic. 2. They frequently have suspension that is a bit too sporty. Read that as punishing. 3. They are expensive as fuck. I am a big believer in sporty vehicles that are comfy, have great infotainment systems, and ride smoothly. But you shouldn't be barred from buying a Hellcat if you can afford it. However, if you shoot randomly into the air or speed on occupied roads, you need to pay a price. |

If he's a union electrician, wouldn't he just not get paid for being in jail. Get out and be back on the job or at worst get laid off, collect unemployment and go back to the Hall for new work when he gets out? He may not be able to work on many job sites. He may have an employer that does jobs for the federal or state government. They may have restrictions on employees with criminal convictions. I once did work for a Canadian Government agency which shall remain nameless due to confidentiality agreements but they did a criminal background check on everyone and one of my colleagues didn’t pass for a reckless driving charge which our employer wasn’t aware of. |

I did a round trip from Montreal to Nashville last week in my supercharged 2005 Mustang GT.
I drove the whole trip between 80-90 mph for the most part. I got a ticket in Kentucky doing 91 in a 70. $60.00 for speeding and $134.00 for court costs. He told me that if I never planned to come back to Kentucky I could just not pay it and put it up on my wall. I told him it doesn’t even make the top 5. Highest speed attained during the trip was over 130 on a deserted stretch of highway at night. I’ve been caught doing 124/55 in 1988 the cop dropped it to 84. He also caught the 4 other bikes that were traveling in a pack ahead of me. He dropped it to 84mph. When I went to see the judge he dropped it to 65. It cost me $60 and no points. The fastest I’ve ever gotten the Mustang was 165mph racing a twin turbo Ford GT. The fastest I’ve ever been on the street (not driving) was 190mph in a Ruf 993 CTR narrow body. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Prius drivers get highly pissed when you cite them for speeding. My best was getting pulled over in Nevada for going 118 mph (according to my speedometer) on a motorcycle. I was out in the middle of no-where and a storm was coming in. I wasn't going anywhere near that fast until I saw the storm and thought I could make it to the next town and go into someplace to get out of the storm. The Highway Patrol was coming towards me, miles away and turned on his lights. I pulled over and waited for about five minutes before he got to where I was pulled over. Neither one of us said a single word. I handed him my registration/license/proof of insurance, he walked back to his car and wrote me a ticket, walked back and handed it to me and left. He wrote the ticket for 80 mph. There, at that time (don't know if this still exists), they had an additional ticket called something like "waste of natural resources" if you were going past a certain number which was around 80. So you got two tickets if you were going faster than that. This guy cut me a break so I didn't get the second ticket. FWIW: if you live in a place like Nevada, or Wyoming, or Montana or...................in the west, there are plenty of places where you might drive for an hour and not see another car; during the day, let alone at night. And as was mentioned, if I was in or on a vehicle that was worth doing it in, I took full advantage of it. |

It's really dumb that reckless driving is tied to a certain speed or a certain amount over. 150 on an abandoned straight stretch of road is nowhere near as reckless as 90 weaving in and out of heavy traffic. *This response brought to you by the retarded state of Virginia where 80 mph, just 10 mph over the speed limit, is considered reckless driving.

The seriousness? The dude didn't run from police and he didn't deny what he had done. Give him a big ass fine and move on. I'm still inclined to be lenient.

Ridiculously strict speed laws will make you second guess pulling over when you already know you’re going to lose your license versus maybe keeping it if you run. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I did a round trip from Montreal to Nashville last week in my supercharged 2005 Mustang GT. I drove the whole trip between 80-90 mph for the most part. I got a ticket in Kentucky doing 91 in a 70. $60.00 for speeding and $134.00 for court costs. He told me that if I never planned to come back to Kentucky I could just not pay it and put it up on my wall. I told him it doesn't even make the top 5. Highest speed attained during the trip was over 130 on a deserted stretch of highway at night. I've been caught doing 124/55 in 1988 the cop dropped it to 84. He also caught the 4 other bikes that were traveling in a pack ahead of me. He dropped it to 84mph. When I went to see the judge he dropped it to 65. It cost me $60 and no points. The fastest I've ever gotten the Mustang was 165mph racing a twin turbo Ford GT. The fastest I've ever been on the street (not driving) was 190mph in a Ruf 993 CTR narrow body. I may, or may not have approached that velocity in my 997.1TT with 68mm turbos. |
