LOL to all the "you got what you deserved" moral police out there.
Even if its "his job" we can still bitch about it no? His job is to enforce a dumb law put in place to fill the state's pockets. The speed limit should be at least 90 on the freeway in the first place, end of discussion. |

Hire an attorney to win the case if it disturbs you that much. Otherwise, just pay it and move on I think. Couple of years ago, I got nabbed at 104 going to Arizona, and then one of those cameras on a side street in Scottsdale got me for going 5 over.
Bad couple of days...I had to appear in East Jibbip, Arizona and talk to a Judge, pay fines, etc. One more mile an hour and I would have done sometime in jail. Some other guy was there for littering-had to drive from New Mexico to appear! Somebody will always have it worse! |

You can bitch about it all you want, but don't expect everyone to be on your side. We're not here to coddle you. And if you feel so strongly about the speed limits, why don't you go out and do something worthwhile about it? Go petition to have them raised. How did you come up with 90, anyway?

And since everywhere I drive 75% of people do at least 80-85 rather safely on the freeway I guess I'm not too far off with 90? Who knows...I'll just wait for your next attempt at a condescending comeback, perhaps read it in between my careful study of driver's education, and not respond. But I can see how people get sucked into this, internet forum arguments are quite fun. Cheers mate |

65mph speed limits haven't changed since the 70's, and cars have become MUCH more capable since then. Most cars on the road more capable of stopping, steering and accelerating at 100mph than a Ford Pinto could at 60. That said, you should go drive some modern entry-level shitbox hatchbacks. They're built to spend most of their life at 40mph and you're downright dangerous and floaty at 70mph. We're incredibly spoiled with our German cars. ... and there wasn't anybody texting and driving on the road in the 70's. I think speed limits on highways should be abolished. Especially highways with low traffic. In Australia, the accident rates on our Northern Territory roads are consistently lower with no speed limit than when they're limited to 65. (That said, there's a population density of one person per two square miles in the NT). I think recreational drugs should be legal too, and copyright and drug patents are an artificial monopoly that stifles innovation which solely benefits the US economy and should be ignored in countries like Australia so we can buy our medications for 30c from India, not $1000 from the USA, and use Microsoft Office for free. But if I decide I'm going to follow these ideals despite the law - eg. pirate software, import drugs from India, grow Marijuana and travel at 100mph on highways - I risk feeling the full weight of the law if I get caught. What I'm saying is - if the law sucks, lobby to get it changed. If you choose to break the law, accept the risk of the consequences. I feel for OP, I really do. It sucks balls, especially when you were singled out because of your nice car, and I too believe police DO interpret the law and use their own judgement when enforcing it (rather than just being a blind instrument of the state). But I think this thread has been a little less sympathetic than usual, because: I expect most people on this forum would agree with me when I say that I think this: Is going a bit far. |

Also if you know they’re coming for you just pull over and don’t make them chase you. I once was full on sideways full throttle in my straight piped mustang while a cop passed me coming the other way. I just pulled over right there as he flipped around for me. He appreciated me pulling over and just being honest with him that I was having a little fun. Got off with a warning somehow. |

I was taking my dad to pick up an new Benz when I was in grad school. I got pulled over and was at least 15 over. The cop asked if I knew how fast I was going and I said, "Unsure but pretty quickly, my dad and I are just talking about the Ali fights from the 70s and comparing them to boxing now". We talked with he guy for about 15 minutes and he let me go with a warning and told my dad to "hit me on the knuckles" if I go much faster than 70 or so. And yes...yes I am!

oh i went to DMV and I paid traffic lawyer $200 to fight it.
Its been 2yrs so it will probably get dismiss. I have court date in July but I dont need to show up, lawyer represents me. I used this lawyer before, it helps that my license is clean. |

Did he know he was speeding? yes. Does he know that is against the traffic law? yes. Then he should realize that he can get pulled over for it and quit bitching. If anyone speeds and is mad at anyone but themselves when they get a ticket that are an idiot. It is a known risk with a known possibly penalty. Grow up.

My comment was in response to your rather final "end of discussion". As though you were somehow the final arbitrator - which amused me. So I figured why not have a little fun with it. Cheers mate! |
