Another time I was in my friends 240 going down highway 5 and we got pulled over for doing 181mph. He got his licence revoked.

Wait a second here. I just read that again. YOU were driving HIS car at 181mph. And, HE got HIS license revoked?!

Try 465 MPH. When I went to pay the fine that is what they had in the system.

Other than that a slow 75mph ticket in a 40 zone.

I was in my friends 240 with him driving....oh yeah I got a ticket too for 80 bucks. Some BS about being a licenced driver and not trying to stop him. I went to court and said that it was worth the 80 bucks, paid the fine and went on my way.

Been driving for 8 years, 1 fine for 111kmh in a 60 zone, lost license for 3 months and now the insurance companies are giving it to me up the *ahem*

It hurts when you are young and they discriminate (rightfully so) for being young let alone loss of license. One reason why I sold my car.

I got screwed hard, 68km/h in a 60 zone, going down a hill with a 20 foot boat on the back of a toyota corona, and I was trying to slow down ... honestly I was, and to top it off, it was the day I got my drivers licence, first run out in a car without a licensed driver, and they pull that $^!# on me. Dad took the fall and the demerit points, when i suggested that if I lose my license, he becomes by taxi service.

I got away with a 127 in a 55 in my 78 2+2..I was off the highway and out of sight by the time he turned around! :devious:

In the Late 70's I built a V8 Chevy Monza Spider (souped up Vega) That I had modified to the limit of "Streetable". I drove this car to New Orleans in 1980 with dreams of getting work in the oil fields (I got work but (let me tell you) it was no dream!).

A year later my father got very sick and I was told He wouldn't last the week and to come home. I packed up and hit the road back to Miami.

Let me set the scene - 1 am, Northern Fl., southbound on the I-75, mile markers going past every 27 seconds, Driving lights on.

I crested a roll in the road and see a set of tail lights in the distance. I don't slow down. Up and over the next roll AND I"M RIGHT ON TOP of him!! And it's a FLORIDA STATE TROOPER!! Hard on the binders! OH SH*#! He never saw me coming. To him it was a quiet night and an empty road and suddenly there's this roaring beast behind him with lights giving him a sun burn!

I saw him suddenly weave in shock. After slowing, and shutting off the Ciebes, I turn on my turn signal and pull HIM over!

He walks over and asked "Why did you pull me over?"

"To save you the trouble of pulling me over" I replied. "You must have been going pretty fast to come out of nowhere like that" he said. I answered, "Yep", "It was a fair clip", "I gotta get home to Miami, My dad's in the Hospital". Much to my surprise, he says, "Well, It's kind of foggy" "Slow it down a bit and be carefull". "Good Night". "Good Night to you to Trooper"

My respect for Fl. State Troopers was high before that meeting. It was even higher after.
