96 in a 65

yeah i got a speeding ticket of 96 in 65, he dropped it to 85 in a 65 though which should make it a little easier on the wallet, I guess it was kind of dumb a Van was on my butt and i just hit the gas and before i knew it i was at 100 =/

it really is quite easy, especially when you're at 5krpm's at 90mph. Little too much gas and hello 100!

You were just speeding at the wrong place at the wrong time. I usually don't speed like that because I care about my insurance rate and driving record, but I understand the urge to drive fast. Hope you learn from your experience

We all speed from time to time....but yours is right up there.

With the speed you were doing, you are very lucky they didn't take your car away from you....

Take it to court, get a traffic lawyer. If you live in the Seattle area, luck up the Mucklestones They've been great on getting .. uhhh my 'citations' discharged, so it's not over until the judge rules in and validates the officers 'citing'.


With that said... uhhh i don't speed.. ironically, i'm just an ******* to cops yeah yeah yeah i know 'tazers', i don't mouth off... i just agree with them without admitting fault...... for some reason "if you say so" really pisses them off after the 20th time of them trying to get you to admit fault.

Best of luck!

Quoting that "19th century mph", I'd say this guy is USA despite hiding his location.

In the USA, I'm not aware of a speeder getting dished the same "legal" punishement as drug dealers & rapists that the (free votes for false safety mascarade) Government does to speeders here in Australia.

Big brother is watching & controlling more & more each day & its for our own protection too..........
