Last week, I received a warning for 102 mph. It was 4:50 pm, and I had been driving with what turned out to be an unmarked police car for many miles at about 90 mph. I was late to a business meeting, so I eventually passed him at about 102 mph. A few seconds later, the lights went on.

Turns out to be a state trooper captain on his way home. Fortunately for me, his brother has a silver Porsche "just like yours".

God bless the p-car fans.

Good luck, Levent.

In California, I thought you'd go to jail automatically for anything above 100mph.

Recently did a day of traffic school in Orange County CA (for 78mph in a 65), and one of the more memorable notes I made during the class was DO NOT TO GET CAUGHT >100mph!!!! In California, as others have mentioned above, it's going to cost you in the neighborhood of $1,500, no possibility of traffic school, 2 points on your license (halfway to suspension), possible suspension if the judge is unhappy at how much more than 100 you were doing (or your attitude, etc.), and even possible jail time (probably rare, especially since on a first offense).
Best of luck and I hope we can all learn from this. Seems like I have seen a black & white in my mirrors every time I even think about getting on the gas since I spent that very long day in the South County Courthouse.
