Wonder Why He Got a 109 MPH Speeding Ticket?

The speed limit was 55.

One little measly more MPH, and he would have been double limit.

In some places, double limit means a suspended license.

I bet the cop gave him 109 so that his license wouldn't be suspended.
It would be unwise to underestimate what large groups of ill-informed people acting together can achieve. -- John D'Oh, January 14, 2010.

I have had cops do the same for me by citing me for 9 mph over. The points on your license and other things kick in at 10. Of course, I wasn't doing anything near double over.

I have done well over 109 but I didn't get caught. ;)

109? :hair:

That's incredible.
I bow to thee.
Which model can do that?


Best I've ever done is just over 70 MPG.

But if it was in a school zone, that would truly be worthy of scorn. :D

and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

Hey, I'll bet my MPG at 109 wasn't too bad .... in sixth gear. The engine fairly purred. :)

I get 24mph over all the time. (ok, like once every two years).

I don't care about points because I don't have car insurance. But the cops don't know that, they're just being nice since I treat them with respect.

Oh, and I've done 150 (240kmh), that was in an Alpha Romeo convertible 2 seater on the autobahn. Fastest in the US (sustained) was 135. That was in a '76 Impala with a 454 4 barrel. I was 17.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

+1

The only time I've ever been pulled over, I was doing 73 in a 50. The cop wrote the ticket as 60 in a 50, and the ticket was $40 with no points, instead of $100+ with 3 points.

This was over 2 years ago, I wonder if it's still on my record...

My highest total speed's only been a little over 110.

My highest all-time possible ticket was triple over; I've gone 78 in a 25.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

The fastest I've driven is 145 km/h.

Over 150 km/h is up to a $10000 fine, with a one year licence suspension, and up to 6 months in jail. No way in hell I'm risking that.

Oh good. The guy I'm playing in fantasy football this week has AP. Hopefully this messes with his performance. (Yes I have Brett Favre as my QB....so good!)
