high-speed ticket

the question is, what's the fastest you've ever been pulled over for?

i got nailed at 110 a couple months ago. i don't know how many of you are familiar with the emptiness that is Nevada, but you can drive for hundreds of miles and not pass a single car, and that's during the day. I was driving through the middle of nevada at 2am, just trying to get home. i knew this section of highway pretty well, it's a stretch of about 70 or 80 miles of perfectly straight and flat road. i wasn't too worried about cops and i knew i wouldn't see any other cars on the road, especially at that hour, but wouldn't you know it...an unmarked dodge durango. the cop was relatively cool about it. he didn't rip me a new one or anything, and he was nice enough to write the ticket for "only" 100mph, which actually saved me $200, but it was still a $407 ticket, and who knows what that'll do to my insurance. that's the last time i pull something like that

The Fastest I've ever been pulled over is 50 in a 35. I was running late from lunch back to work. He let me off.

After 24 years of driving, with significant amounts of speeding, I have never had a speeding ticket. Ever.

IMO its because cops don't expect the junk I drive to actually go fast enough to speed.

91 in a 55 in an old accord.

um 90+ in a 45, 107 in a 55, 115 in a 45 (racing), those are some of the higher ones I've gotten pulled over for. But still no tickets to date...except a $20 seatbelt ticket.

how did you pull off getting pulled over at speeds like those without a ticket?!? what's your secret?
you're dad a cop? maybe you're a cop? maybe a hot chick that's "well endowed"?

Yea no kidding, Thats crazy. You must know them all.

No...I dunno...good people skills I guess.

shit. around here anything above about 120 makes it on the 5 o'clock news. Or maybe thats just the ones we hear about.

120 in a 55, raced an undercover cop. I WON, so he let me go.

this sounds ridiculous but, everyone knows it's like impossible to go 25MPH in a 25MPH zone. well I got pulled over for going 28MPH in a 25MPH zone. When I saw the cop flying up behind I thought what the hell did I do. I said I wasn't really speading. The cop was a complete A-hole. He said license and reg. I said what did I do. He said sir you were driving recklessly and way over the limit. Anyway it's supposed to be 50 dollars for the first 10 mph over the limit. I was going 3mph over the limit and he gave me a 200 dollar fine and my insurance went up 4 points. I said this is bullshit. So I went to court to try to fight it. The cop who stopped me showed up. He said to the judge I was being fair I could have givin him alot more. He lied and said I was driving to endanger, I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, I didn't have 2 hands on the steering wheel, I was weaving all over the road, my lights were on in the daytime, The list went on and on with complete nonsense. The judge said the cop was being more than fair. But he didn't list that on the ticket, it just said speeding 200 dollars. It should have said speeding 50 dollars. seatbelt 25 dollars. Well anyway the judge sided with the cop. So I had to pay 200 dollars and my insurance went up 4 points. Imagine that I had a perfect driving record I was a step 9 for 10 years. For going 3 mph over the limit. thats just ridiculous. I'd like people's input on this.

100 in a 60 (km/h) is what I've been pulled over for. I've driven much quicker and gotten away with it. I should have gotten points, but he dropped in to 75 in a 60 so my fine was 50 bucks. though i also got a ticket for not having a front plate... $110!!! so im a greater threat to society for not having a plate than for going 40 over? bullpoop :)

Well dyna, sorry to hear about that. That is absolutely absurd. But I don't know what else you can do now. Sounds like the cop was just an absolute prick, and you got screwed. Sorry, that really sucks!

On a side note, please don't 'hijack' other's threads in the future, you can just start a new one.

did you sleep with the cop's wife?

Lol!!

My worst is racing 138 in a 55 construction zone. Spent a couple days in the slam for that one, and my insurance is still almost $500 a month for a four door 130 hp (stock ;)) economy car.

i got pulled over going 50 (he said 55) in a 35. At 6:25 AM on my way to school. he acted like a total jerk. Do you know why i pulled you over?" "no sir" "your driving like an idiot thats why!!!!" i just looked at him. so damn annoying. go to fucking sleep its 6 30 am

that stinks, yeah but c'mon 28 in a 25. thats ridiculous.

That's absolute bull.

120 in a 35 in my accord and the cop went to follow and just stopped coming after a while no lights

I've done peelouts and donuts in public areas, raced at 100+ MPH, went well over twice the speed limit (freeways included), ran countless stop signs/red lights (None of it was on purpose. I was either going too fast to stop for a yellow light which turned red, or I couldn't see the stop sign.), etc. Basically I've violated almost every traffic law in the book on more than one occasion, and all I've ever been pulled over for is a busted brake light. My insurance is about $65/month, record is very clean, and my parents are really trusting of me.

I feel evil.

the world hates you for your luck

Got about 6 speeding tickets in past 10 years, worse one so far was for 92mph in 55mph zone. Changed insurance companies few times and spent decent coin on fines. So that's in the past. At this time, I am scheduled for a trial on 100+mph ticket, with road racing, reckless driving etc. as an added "bonus". Of course, those are all malicious allegations. Got a lawyer, will fight it.

On my bike once, I flew by the cop with the radar gun, my speedo was at 151 mph (see picture as a permanent reminder - onboard computer stores last fastest run). Got lucky that time, I guess the cop didn't bother chasing me with his Crown Vic.
