20 over

[rumrunner88]

corect me if im wrong but isnt 20 mph oover the speed limit a felony?
the reason i ask is i passed a cop doing 85 in a 55 over the weekend and he didnt even slow down to try to pull me over.

Depends on the state. Some places 20 over is wreckless driving, others (at least Ohio) 25 over is wreckless.

My memories recall one time I was doing 175km/h in a 110, got busted, court reduces it to 49 km over the limit, got a huge ass fine. No felony for this canadian man. Luckily I was able to drive home with my girl. BTW it was in a rented Grand Prix GTP. The thing rpm cuts-off at 175. School/Play grounds are easy to double the limit. That is dangerous driving. Anything 50km/h is dangerous driving. Dunno about our neighbors to the South.

Maybe he didnt have his radar on?

Ive pasted cops numerous time going over the speed limit. (IE 95 in a 50) and this cop was on the side of the road facing the direction i was going. He never even flinched.

Nah...I got pulled over for 22 over north of the Aurora airport. In IL 25 over is reckless driving. I was really going atleast 35-40 over but the cop was a really nice guy and knocked it down a notch for me.

Because they want to lower their insurance rates, maybe?
