Speeding tickets

[PowerDubs_imp]

my father was 82 when he got a speeding ticket 2 yrs ago, 1st one since like 1964, and he was going like 7 over. My uncle, who was a sgt in the NY PD used the badge numerous times until once in TN it didn't work.

it happens.

best way for it not to happen: don't get caught. Not speeding, ever, isn't an option. I was doing 80- mph today on I77 N heading to Charlotte just to keep up w traffic in my suv in the middle lane.

Absolutely.

Fastest I've ever driven a car- verified- was 154mph on the GPS.

One Sunday morning after meeting up with a bunch of guys for breakfast- we hit the highway to drive to the drag strip.

Since several had never been there before- I took lead...and was playing around a bit.

At some point we passed a cop in the center median- he pulled out behind us...with his lights on proceeded to drive up to each car and point them over to the shoulder as he kept moving up the line. Eventually he got to me- and I pulled over- he did his thing while his backup picked up the other guys.

I remember the ticket- 87 in a 65.

We continued on to the drag strip and I remember not thinking anything of it...while a couple other guys were clearly upset. I told them the same as you- at least they didn't catch us a couple miles before...at a much higher speed.

The amount of stupidity I've done in a car or on a bike... I deserved a little trouble every once in a while when I was younger...

Well- it IS an option- but it would just pissed off everyone around you...and is actually more dangerous as others will drive more aggressively instead of just cruising.

And yea- I literally commute every single day at 80-85 here in NJ. These days you can go right past a cop in the median or even driving on the road at 80- no issue as long as you maintain a safe distance, use signals, lights / wipers if needed.
