pulled over going about a buck twenty anyone got one better?

[fed92sled]

In regards to the reply by 2fast4me, about his car being able to go 185... I think that is a little far fetched. I've had my own car up to 144 and I had to let off becasue the back end got too foaty. If your almost stock caprice can go 185, I want proof.

Since then...i haven't been pulled over but i haven't given up my love for speed. Nice one though...

Chris

I finally slowed down and stopped at a greasy spoon to get a bite to eat and about half way through a cheeseburger a Highway patrolman walked in, looked around, (there was about five people there, I guess he knew most of 'em) sat down at my table, lays down a ticketbook and asks for my drivers license.

He looked at it a minute, slid the book over and said "sign on the line" I guess he ran the plates while he was outside because the ticket was all filled in already. (He wrote 100mph)

"How'd you know?" I asked.

He said, "well, there's only two of us that patrol this area, I sit at one end of town and my partner sits at the other. When i saw that red streak of lightning go by I radioed my partner to be ready....when you didn't show i figured you musta wrecked it, so I started toward town, and thats when i saw that big red boat in the parking lot."

"Yeah, but how'd you know it was me and not some other red car?"

'cause your is the only one steamin' and sprayin' anti-freeze all over the place."

That was a good one.

i got stopped on cause i flew buy a mini van going 85, i was inthe far right lane going 110 headed for an exit on 476 and the pennsylvania state trooper pulled me over and i was in a 2000 impala police car, but i put the tag from my 95 caprice on it cause the impala isn't mine yet. the cop said it was still regestered to the township and he only gave me a speeding ticket on my caprice plate. it would have been funny to get a ticket that got charged to the police that gave me the ticket, but that could never happin. he said he was supposed to take the car.

Ok, heres the story, I got an 84 caprice, w/ a 305. All stock. I decided one day ta see what this old boat would do. I got up to 110 mph, and the govenor on the transmission stopped me there. It took a little bit, but I was able to disable it by removing one of the lead cogs to the govonor inside the tranny. Afterwards, I tried again ta see what the car could really do on some deserted country road. I got the car up to a lil over 150 right before the engine red lined. So i decided let off a little bit, and just let the car coast. A car pulled out way ahead of me, so I had ta got back down to the 35 mph speed limit so I wouldn't rear end the guy. After about another 1/2 mile, a cop car came up behind me, flashed his lights a little, and I got the picture. He said he never got the chance to clock me, but knew for sure that I was speeding, so he only put me down for a 50 mph ticket. Good thing too, i coulda lost my license if he was ready for me. And I had no idea a caprice could go that fast.

When I was in highschool, I used to drive my moms Jaguar XJ12 all the time (no, I'm not spoiled, it was a 10 year old second car for the family). I used to get pulled over all the time in that thing. I got out of almost all of them by telling the cop that it was my moms car, and I was just using it for the day while my car was in the shop, and I didn't have any idea it could go that fast. think the worst I got popped for was 75, in a 45, and while the cop was talking to me, a black 911 blew by us. The cop threw me my license and registration, told me to slow down, and took off after the guy, he must have been doing tripple digits easy. Come to find out from the older brother of a friend who was a county cop, they had been after that car for a while for flying up and down that road. I think the eventualy got him. Now, that's not to say I haven't gone faster that that, I think the fastest was an indicated 140 in my cousins new STi.

[radioman2002]

While I am not a total speed demon, ( I have worked for numerous public safety agencies over the years) I have had a few run in's with the Troopers and locals over the years. Now mind you I am talking about over the span of 30+ years.
The first time was with a 1970 Black/White 440 Fury I, I had just purchased. It was late on some of the most deserted highways in upper Westchester. I decided to let it rip, unfortunately, the locals were sitting by the side of the road about 1/2 way down this stretch of a 3 mi straight road. It was actually comical to see this 68 Ford trying to catch up to me as I easily cruised past him at 130. Well I kept going, not at those speeds, but just went home. A few nights later was when retribution came. The locals tossed the whole inside of my car looking for something to bust me on. Fortunately one of them knew I worked in the local radio shop and they let me go.
Next was about 7 years later, I was late for work, I was driving my brand new 77 Plymouth baby Fury, that also have the 440. On the New York State Thruway, I decided to make up some time, and pushed it to about 135, it took the Trooper in his own words about 7 mi to catch up, I did receive a summonse, but with a lucky break for me (he retired by the time it came to court) I got away with a rather stern warning from the Judge.
My last time and I mean LAST time was purely accidental, I was working for a Public Safety agency on Long Island as radio repair. I had just spent about 12 hours in a very noisy (hi velocity ventilation fans) and very hot (over 90 F) elevator/radio room on top of the Nassau County Medical Center doing repairs and a new install. It was about 1:30 am when I finally got out of there. I started heading home on the Northern State Highway. There was no one on the road. So I guess I went to about 90, on what is a very twist windy road. Next thing I relaize is I have about 5 NCPD cars behind me. I pulled over and after the usual interrogation, and verified who I was I was let go with an escort to the county border.
Now let me make this clear , I don't justify the out running of Police, thats plain stupid. If I had run into the officers of today back then I would be in the pokey. Rightfully so.
I do have other more comical run in's at much lower speeds, but I'll save that for another day.

[inlineguy]

Well Im canadian and i was on the QEW from the falls to fort erie with a friend and we were doing 140km consistant at 1 in teh morning then a 3rd car pulled up so we though sweet brought it up to 160 then the car pulled out passed up and put the cherries on. Got off with a steps program but had to bring our parents with us were both 17 and were shatting our pants when we got pulled over. Oh didnt help that they called home and woke the old man up.

[beat88ls]

back when i had my s10 i was driving to my friends house at about 7:45am to pick him up for school, i pulled into his driveway got my stuff together, then i looked up into my rearview mirror, and behold theres a cop sitting there behind me! apparently i didnt come to a complete stop at the last stopsign. before i even saw the lights flashing i was going down the road doin 75mph in a 30mph. i didnt even see the cop! well he put the screws to me, he got me for evading an officer, driving to endanger, speeding, when all was said and done i had a $500 ticket and an invite to appear in court. btw the s10 was a 2wd 6ft bed with a m22 4 speed and a 350cuin with 300hp

[ncinirator]

When I was sixteen I was stopped for going 105 in a 25. I tried telling the officer that his radar must have picked up a bigger faster moving object but he told me to shut up cuase he could lock me up for reckless driving. The ticket was for $215.

I tried taking it to court and lost. The judge gave me no points, $115 in court costs and 10 hours community service. I always wanted to be a cop. I had a lot of cop friends. So I did my community service washing police cars for one of the local departments. I armoralled the cheifs Dodge Diplomat, it had bench seats. One of my buddies told me she was slipping all over that thing for a few days.

Years later I was dispatching for a police department and in walks the officer who gave me the ticket long ago, he looked shocked and was embarrased...He was handing in his application for the department I was working for. I told him the application fee was $215. He laughed. We got along great, never felt or held any hard feelings. He said when he clocked me that night he thought his radar was broken or something and that I was nearly airborne when I flew past him.

Now I`m the police for a big city department, we dont have time to run radar but I have done it in the past. I mostly tell people to slow down depending on what I clock em at.

[2fast4me]

OK, good man, police!! We need a lot more of your kind. F$%K that freaking radar! Most of the cars you try to pull over nowdays will blow you by anyway, so why bother? And, no, speed does not kill, idiots kill!

Well like a black cloud over my head I have been pulled over in every state here to there.
My favorite, Missouri State Patrol pulled me over about 30 miles from KC. Asked me to get out of the car come sit with him. So he began to tell me how we clocked me 115 from the opposite direction, with the speedo out like usual, I couldnt argue, but he said what he like most was that when he crossed the median to come after me he pulled over 145 in his vic. Low and behold his radio chimed in with an assistance call, another officer had one that would not pull over and was quickly heading his way. So he told me I had 40 miles to get out of his state and if he got finished in time and could catch me again I would be lucky if he didnt end up with the car.

145 in a crown vic? that is bullshit - the police interceptor crown vics only go 138mph an at 130 its white knuckling it - i am friends with alot of state troopers an locals . . . they all complain that the only way to keep up with some of these fast cars out here these days is the radio....

Actually with the light bar + the spot light its about 130. If the car has dual spot lights its a little slower. The spedo tells ya what you can do with a slick top. they never run the car around the track with the antennas and light bar and everything.

My favorite pursuits do not involve going straight fast. No point in it. Varying speed, taking turns and going around obstacles is a real pursuit.
Going fast while going straight, you might as well sit in park with the siren on and pretend.

[93_R/T_TT_Stealth]

lol - ya they do load them up with alot of equipment including a cb basestation in the trunk an glass gaurd behind rear seat that alone is alot of weight, not to mention the drag of the external shit like your talking about - ya the troopers i know say its rough an starts gettin shakey around 130 - ya when i was into runnin from the cops i used to like to shake em cause their cars couldnt do have the shit mine does nor is it even close in handling.... it was more fun... i had to slow it down i got 30 points alot of stupid shit got me those points when i was younger - now i am more cautious i would say....

Happy Motoring!

[ebones]

yea, going that fast is crazy,I had to go to driving class b/cuz I was hopping my 95' caprice in front of a sheriff and he was a true ass hole, he said I could not pay my way out of this ticket I had to go to court, the DMV sent something in the mail to me about my driving record it was 3 points they took off, someone in my driving class was doing 110 and the sheriff drop it to 106 for him. cops just like buging peaple with lowriders
