Well I got nailed for 80km in a 60km zone, but the cop was nice a knocked it down to 70 so it was a whole $35.00 ticket and no points. First and only ticket thankfully.

75 in a 55 $92 ticket and 3 points on the record.

in the volvo (yes i know very VERY stupid)... 175 in a 70...go straight to jail...do not pass go..do not collect 200 dollars. ticket 150, court fees 80x11, bail 1000...total ticket..$2030 (not counting impound fees to get my car back, fees to get my DL reinstated, and a few other misc fees.) thats the price you pay for being an ignorant jackass. i havent gone over 85 since (3 years ago).

The airplane pilot said "He was doing 80, then accelerated to something far greater." Luckily they couldn't prove it! Oh, the wild days.

I haven't been pulled over in almost 11 years now, and even back then it was an intentional speed trap near a Highway Patrol barracks (which has since been changed to no longer be a trap after some high level Judges learned of it).

When you obey the traffic laws and vehicle laws it is surprisingly easy to not get pulled over, let alone get a ticket.

Got pulled over doing close to 95mph in a 65mph zone. The cop was nice though, put on the ticket I was going 69, so a very small fine and no points! Pretty lucky as far as that goes.

110mph (not kph) or so, I stopped before the cop caught up to me because I knew he was only chasing me from a quarter mile behind and there was NO exit anywhere on this highway.

Nice guy. No ticket, just let me go.... I wont go into details, cause I dont know what saved me, either me lying and saying I have new rims and speedometer is off completely, or my PBA card(or whatever_)

I guess Im just lucky?(this is one of 3 times actually... 1 involved running and got pulled over by multiple cops, still nothing LOL)
I learned my lesson though, never do that again, been a year or two, and plan on keeping that streak going for a VERY long time. No more kidding around.
