Default criminal speed

got pulled over 5-30-06 for 76 in a 35 . was given a "must appear".
so I went to court today, pled not guilty. I was looking at a $650 fine, loss of lisence(undisclosed time), and time behind bars(undisclosed time). spoke to the court appointed lawyer and had him speak to the D.A. got away with a reduced charge. 64 in a 35(civil in opposed to criminal) $750 fine, no suspension, no jail. probably the best $100 I've spend. I mean I know I shouldn't have been speeding, but hind sight as 20/20. Plus its an LS1. how can you not jump on it from time to time. All I can say is lesson learned. from here on out I'll be more careful as to where i get into it, and more careful as to whos around.

dannyz- me too! but I had it coming to me, it WAS my own fault.

hawk- thats a pretty good deal. thats why I wish I had a lawyer, but affordability compared to how much I would need it.

That sucks. I've gotten a warning for going 60 in a 35. Albiet it's not 41 over, but still. $750 is a lot of coin.

haha amateurs!

I got clocked at 86 in a 40, $460 ticket and the "I could arrest you speech". Best part was I was racing a mustang, he got a ticket too. When the cop talked to me h said he could arrest me and I explained I just fixed the car and was testing how it goes. He replied "Well it definitely goes good I'll tell ya that" haha

Also got pulled over for doing like 105 in a 30, in a corvette. Im not quite sure on the speed, I was shifting into 4th at hiiiiigh RPM's and an undercover detective was 2 cars back... Not ticket and the "you're luck im busy" speech lol.

Somwhere on my driving record I have a "Commercial Over Weight Restriction" ticket associated with my SS. It's a long story. The point is that I agree - it's a strange world we live in.

There was a guy about 6 months ago that posted in the Racer's Lounge. He had a 140 in a 65.

It doesnt count if you don't get caught.

But if you wanna talk about getting away with ****, I hit a cop with my truck. Literally hit him, him directing traffic, my tire hitting and rolling him down the side of my truck, him falling and bleeding, all that good stuff.

And I got an apology from him.

BTW, speeding kills, but only if you suck at it. Sorry for the hijack.

I hoped you would say he had 44" bogger tracks over his butt-cheeks!

117 in a 15 was out on this LONG *** road, it's actually on an island, with nothing coming into it. Lake on one side, and levee on the other side. People fish off of it, but it's deserted at night. I was in an s-10 blazer lol.

I didnt have 44's, They were only 33's, but they looked good on a Tacoma. No treads on his ***, but his arm was pretty mangled.

Makes for a good story now though.

i was doing 120 down a 45 at 230am (harborview rd for u pc locals) and was chased by an off duty cop (i didnt even know) in his cop car..... so i pull into my friends front yard and i sit in the car listening to some slipknot and after about 20 seconds i start to get out i see lights behind me, thinkin its a buddy of mine who has a few blue strobes (shhhh) i continue to get out, and ill i hear is "put your hands on the vehicle" (ohh **** i think to myself), then he starts to talk to me and asks if i know why i was getting pulled over... so i say "slightly exceeding the speed limit".... he goes "bingo" and then gives me a long *** speach and told me if he ever saw me going 1mph over the speed limit i would get a ticket, so a few weeks ago i saw him in the mall parking lot and he asked if i remembered him.... so we ended up BS-in for a few and i get him to do a small burnout in his police cruiser.....he was deff. the coolest cop i have ever met... and now i deff watch my speed
