Yep, you got owned.

PS: I'm glad I don't live anywhere near you. 4 tickets and you haven't learned your lesson yet?

I'd hate to sound harsh, but you deserve to have your license jacked.

Man u hit the nail on the head with what u said. Everyone makes mistakes and now for all of these people to sit there and act like they have never gone over the speed limit or broken any other traffic laws is pretty hypocritical. u have a fast car, so enjoy it, just be careful
Sorry about the ticket had to face one like that myself, 105 in a 70. Got it reduced to speeding and paid the ticket and went on my way.

me: "yup, cop 1 has it at the moment"

Summons in Nov. Not good considering the court date is for the day before my 30 day suspension is supposed to start for having 4 tickets in a 2 year period. Cop even spelled the reckless ticket: "Wreckless Driving".

The man > me.

tell the judge that u werent "wreckless driving" then. Since the cop cant spell, tell the judge maybe he needs to go back to school.

Wow, lots of CT people on this board. Good to see

That being said, 107 is crazy, especially on I-95. It's not even a matter of how capable the car is, or how experienced the driver is...it's the other idiot drivers around you.

I do speed, on a regular basis, but rarely do I go over 80 on the highway. To me, 80 is a comfortable cruising speed which my car (any car really) can safely handle and is not dangerous to other drivers. Anything above that is not smart, IMHO.

I just shake my head at young kids hauling ***, driving like idiots on the highway. (Been there, done that). Hopefully they will mature past it before they wreck a car or get someone hurt. I'm a huge proponent of "taking it to the track."

To the OP: Sucks man, hope you learned a lesson, and hope things work out.

I can help you pick out a nice jammer system. Do you know what type of laser gun he used? It might be written on the ticket. Please pm me all the details I'll help you get the process started to try and get this dropped a little so you can keep your licence!

But I recommend getting a lawyer from the county you where ticketed first thing. This way he might be able to use the good ole boy system and help ya out even more!

That pisses me off....cops think they are so great, but the tard cant even spell right.

However, Ive been down the road you are traveling. Its not just about safety, its about all the money spent...yeah...you could hurt someone or yourself, it goes without saying.

On the other hand, theres just no profound reason to drive like that all the time as to get caught as many times as you have. I hope all works out for you and they have mercy on you, but I hope most of all that you learn from this moreover. Best of luck to you.

Oh and to all the dip$hits adding smack talking to the forum, this world tires of listening to people defend others in the wrong. Especially when YOU can't even type in the language 75% of this board butchers on a daily basis.

People who do things and get caught should stop doing them. People who do things and get away with it, should stop doing them when they get caught. Persistence to break the law, only to have it inevitably catch up on you after repeat offenses deserves some sort of consequence.

I break more laws before I get out of bed in the morning than most of you Internet English hacks do in a month. When I get caught for whatever it is I do, I'll most likely stop.

So to the original poster...as I said previously...best of luck. But maybe it IS time for you to re-evaluate how skilled you are at dodging the police and consider slowing down.

Actually, I believe it to be much more dangerous to speed at night, especially if you are outside of a city. At night you have much less visibility and in some areas of the country you have to be contend with random deer and other small furry creatures committing suicide by car. The daytime is much safer as long as there is no traffic.

That's why we have those big red things inside the rims, and also the non-Cadillac-like suspension.

I second that! I was down there today. I have friends from Ohio who won't even drive around Detroit because they think we're crazy drivers.

I think my English is just fine, but fair enough. The world tires of people like you coming on here and passing judgement on someone you've never met in your entire life for doing something that 99% of people posting on this forum have done themselves. The OP was nice enough to come on here and share his experience with the rest of the community, especially others who may travel that same route, in hopes that they could learn something from his mistake. You "speeding is the devil!" folks have to jump down his throat like its your job. You are most definitely entitled to your opinion, but you've probably just convinced the OP that this isn't a place he really likes to spend his time. A great service you've done for the community as a whole.

Next time, answer the man's questions if you can, wish him luck if you want, or just simply keep quiet. If you want to pass judgement, I suggest getting a law degree and becoming an actual judge. Then you can punish speeders all day long and pat yourself on the back every night for doing what you think is right. Until then, don't get your panties in a twist.
