As usual, we'll need some fun facts:

- The fastest speeding ticket in the world allegedly occurred in May 2003 in Texas. It was supposedly 242 mph (389 km/h) in a 75 mph (121 km/h) zone. The car was a Swedish-built Koenigsegg CC8S, which was involved in the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally.

- The fastest convicted speeder in the UK was Daniel Nicks, convicted of 175 mph (282 km/h) on a Honda Fireblade motorcycle in 2000. He received six weeks in jail and was banned from driving for two years. The fastest UK speeder in a car was Timothy Brady, caught driving a 3.6-litre Porsche 911 Turbo at 172 mph (277 km/h) on the A420 in Oxfordshire in January 2007 and jailed for 10 weeks and banned from driving for 3 years

- The most expensive speeding ticket ever given is believed to be the one given to Jussi Salonoja in Helsinki, Finland, in 2003. Salonoja, the 27-year-old heir to a company in the meat-industry, was fined 170,000 euros for driving 80 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. The uncommonly large fine was due to Finnish speeding tickets being relative to the offender's last known income. Salonoja's speeding ticket was not the first ticket given in Finland reaching six figures

- There are many competing claims as to the first speeding ticket ever issued depending whether the claim goes by the first traffic violation or the first paper ticket ever issued. Great Britain may have the earliest claim with the first person to be convicted of speeding, Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, who on 28 January 1896 was fined for speeding at 8 mph (13 km/h) in a 2 mph (3.2 km/h) zone. He was fined 1 shilling plus costs

140mph. Chasing someone who threw a cup of soda at my car just because I signaled and got in front of them. I was merging into the highway. I don't understand why people think they own the road.. Anyway.. I chased and couldn't get the driver to stop. Girl friend was in the car with me and screaming for me to stop...I think I probably at that moment I would have pushed the car to the limit it can handle...

It funny how they work together sometimes... I would have probably gotten away with it.. When he came towards my car he said you know your doing 100 mph on a 65mph and I said uumh really :D. then he asked what's the hurry.. Now me and my girlfriend was just coming back from Florida and Georgia on a vacation trip going back to nyc she had to go back to work the next day.. So I was just blazing through the highway :D..but I didn't tell him she was going back to work so I have to get back home so she can rest. I just said uumh really just going home..darn.. If I had told him I think he would have gave me a warning.. I still got pulled over in south Carolina doing 95mph on 65mph and I told the cop I thought I was been chased. Lucky it was getting dark he looked at my license and insurance and said go away just slow down and if you think your been chased pull over..but ever since then I've been trying to be easy..trying to be good even if I just got a friend who just became a cop I still have to be good and careful. Its no fun when your insurance goes up and you paying for tickets..

235km/h in a 92 Dodge Shadow Es 3L V6 coupe... lol. Street racing some douche in a Firebird who thought he was all that until his ass was beat by my piece of ****. I never even got a ticket from the cop because they were too busy laughing about it. They did tell me very nicely to slow down in the future though and were nice enough to give me an escort home. Was on the island hwy Vancouver Island, BC, Canada where Max speed limit is 110km/h.

On the other hand I've gotten tickets for going 35km/h in a park zone (30km/h).

Dad got stopped doing over a ton on the A3 in a 205XRD in the late 80's.

Both coppers got out, the one that could write took his details down, while the one that could read checked around the car.

"What's the D mean?" he asked

"Diesel" replied dad.

"Right, open the bonnet, we want to see what you've done to the engine"

Absolutely bugger all.

They couldn't believe a diesel in such a small car could go that fast, this was back before diesels really became popular, and the 1.8L shoehorned into the engine bay could easily do 110mph (I used to do Hatfield to home in 1hour in mine, and it was exactly 100 miles), although I would have liked one with a 1.9TD in it.

After about 15 minutes of chatting about cars with dad, they said they'd have to give him a ticket, and dad's backside practically exploded as over 100 and it's a ban.

Instead though they just did him for exceeding the 70mph speed limit, so only 3 points and a fine (may even have been £30 back then).

hmm.... lets see, a log time ago when i was still living in the states, i crossed 3 states in a matter of hours Colorado > Nebraska > Iowa

i got caught exiting a tunnel, which immediately drops to a nice smooth hill that goes back up

the cop was waiting for me at the bottom of the hill :p

i had those cop radar and lazer detectors, so i knew if i was being tracked, unfortunately those thing can't see through your hood and engine block :D so that's how i didn't see that one coming

i got a $280+ change ticket for doing 250+ Km/h payed it off at the next town, stayed the night in Chicago and by morning i dropped by a mall at Toledo and returned the cop detector that came with a warranty it will cover $100 for the first offence, but since it was still new i simply returned the thing, and i got my $350 back which covered for the ticket with change to spare :D

then continued my way to Niagara Falls to enjoy my vacation ;)

the trip started in Washington state

souped up Honda hitting VTEC is simply sweet, was probably going faster than 250+ as that is the max my speedometer will show, LOL :D

I spent to much on speeding years ago.

State of Wi has probably banked about 5k from my a$$ for speeding and street racing bikes and cars.

Here are the 3 most recent

1st in city offence for racing, 3am ish

I lined up for a stop light drag 2 Firebirds My 89 formula 350, and an ls1 trans am both exceeded a 100 in a 35:(

Police officer's First words he said is that i won.

Officer then issued me a $95.00 ticket as they had just got laser tracking started in the city and were testing it out, Because of my honesty in telling him how fast i was going and having it matched the laser system within 2mph I got off extremely easy with no loss of lic.

In Wis its generally a mandatory loss of lic when getting cough exceeding the posted speed by 25mph over.

6 years ago finished my 2nd set of mods and started testing my ZX12R, (Wasn't seen Luckily thank god not many police around here at 3am.) Coming down the on ramp hit 163mph at the end of the on ramp.

Bike had run a best 1/4 of 9.48 at a 153mph

Same year lined up 3 bikes my Kawasaki Ninja ZX12R, a Suzuki hayabusa and Suzuki GSXR 1000, again 3am ish

I had 5 lengths at 182 before i shut down on the Hayabusa and guesing 8 on the Gsxr1000...

Been clean ever since for fear of getting hit with H.T.O. ( habitual traffic offender)

I have since then Grown up Sold the Firebird and the Bike

I now go to the track if the need arises to race

5 Years have gone by and my record is still clean:cool:

I now drive a 40th Anniversary GTP for a beater:D

Looking back at what i had done, i think god was i a dumba$$:(

Even though all runs or pulls were around 3am ish on the freeway

it was still stupid, I was extremely lucky with my life.

THE END.

Yeah I've been lucky a few times haha. Like back when I was a senior in high school, I pulled up to a red light and this guy in this mercury sable (I drove a 99 Taurus with a CAI haha) rev his motor at me. Once the light turn green we took off down the highway.

I was going around 120ish then all of a sudden I decided to slow down and he went ahead. Next thing you know cop lights came on it was a fricken unmarked car. Luckily he turned them off and turned off the highway haha.

Also another really lucky moment was a few months ago, I was racing an integra around 12am on this street(stupid I know.) we was hitting around 100mph, I was in the left lane he was in the right. We were almost at an intersection. we started to slow down when we noticed a white car ahead of us. It was a freaking cop.I'm like fawk I'm going to jail.

The cop didn't know who to pull over tho so I slowed wayy down and the integra was ahead of me so the cop got behind him. I seen a second cop coming my way but the light was turning yellow and I gunned it down the street to my house and parked in the garage.

After that I realized racing in the street is a stupid idea if you get caught you get your car towed and jail time here. Specially when goin way over the speedlimit.
