Mike, you can be my wingman anytime.

 

Crash and Burn, Maleficio.

 

If I had hit 75, I would've been arrested for reckless driving.

 

Seriously? Remind me to stay out of Virginia, between that and the radar detector thing. Shame, it's such a beautiful part of the country.

 

Stay out of VA.

 

I always figure tickets aren't really for speed, they are for not paying enough attention.

BTW all tickets are worth fighting at some level, even if its just traffic school.

 

The cop recommended I attended safe driving school and print out my druving record, and show them to the judge.

 

get your odometer calibrated as well. judge will most likely reduce it and make you pay court cost. if nothing has changed since I lived in Va Beach, you should be able walk away with just court cost.

For everyone's amusement - the last time I got a speeding ticket was in the 1970's, on an empty (or so it seemed before the state trooper pulled me over) stretch of I-95, in North Carolina... My speed, for which I was technically arrested (go to jail unless you can post the $25 bail bond)? 56 mph in a 55 mph zone! I can set everyone's mind at rest - I was not driving a 928, just that year's model Thunderchicken/bird!
This is, of course, an anonymous post - wouldn't want the shame of it or being listed somewhere as a speeder!

 

Really occifer, I weally did not think I was going that fast, and I have not been drinking, now go away. T

 

Stinger: Maleficio, you just did an incredibly brave thing. What you should have done was land your 928! You don't own that car, your wife does! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes by five McDonalds, and one admiral's daughter!
Goose: Penny Benjamin?
[Maverick shrugs]
Stinger: And you *******, you're lucky to be here!
Goose: Thank you, sir.
Stinger: And let's not bull**** Maleficio. Your family name ain't the best in Rennlist. You need to be doing it better, and cleaner than the other guy. Now what is it with you?
Maverick: Just want to serve my fellow 928r, be the best driver on Rennlist, sir.
Stinger: Don't screw around with me Mal. You're a hell of an instinctive driver. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to Banner Elk, NC. I gotta do something here, I still can't believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters are going to Sharks in the Mountain .

 

Ya it sucked when I popped over a hill at 156k. with the cop backed into the ditch pointing up at me. (we were about 220)
Deb and I were on our way back from holidays heading home.
The cop and I saw each other when we crested the hill and as he reached up and locked me in the radar screamed.

He handed me a $280 ticket, said slow it down, and said have a nice day.

I think he was happy that I pulled right over and he didn't have to chase me.

Oh ya then I woke up from my dream because I never speed.

 

You need a good excuse. I was pulled over by a State Police doing 105mph on I-94 and when I explained that I was going to read ER X-rays, He told me to "take it easy,Doc" cool cop.

 

I actually don't have any problem speeding on public roads as long as I am the only one in the car and there is no traffic. Passengers, no way. Traffic on a non divided highway, no way. 4 lane divided highway with center barricades with no traffic, no problem.
