You ARE kidding here, right!?

My worst I was 18 and knew my license was suspended for failure to appear but I drove a beat up Prelude anyway. I stopped (but left the engine running)at a bus stop red zone on a busy street at night to talk to a friend. Thought I'd be clever so I put my blinkers on so no one would question my being there (hey I wasn't always a genius!) So these 2 cops come from way down the street and start to ticket me. So here I am suspended license, perfectly running car in a red zone at a bus stop (the ticket for this would have been about $210) and my stupid 18 year old self just made it worse. I told the officers I was broke down. They asked what was wrong. I said the car was overheating. They asked where the steam was. So I canged my story, no it's leaking coolant. Where's the coolant? Oh, it must have leaked out. So you're driving a car with no coolant at all? Who knows how dumb I would have gotten if the other cop didn't at that point ask for my license, which I of course couldn't produce.

I got REAL lucky that night. They didn't ticket me or arrest me and in fact told me to get in my car and just go home (down the street). Oh yeah, and the second cop told me they wouldn't have even bothered me if I hadn't left my blinkers on!

 

speeding 89 in a 65 $243.90

 

ok was for contraband... or an illegal hot plate in my dorm room

wasn't as bad as what my friend did. she got drunk at the bar, decided she was driving home and rolled her car right into the ditch. didn't even make it to the road. campus security was trying to pull her out of her car when she freaked and poked one of them in the eye. would have been at least a DUI and maybe assault but i talked them out of calling the police. told them she was diabetic and a freshman and had had too much to drink. she got banned for a year too.

 

How about the one I "should" have gone to jail for? 3am on my bike on the way home from work and I decide I'd wind her up on the deserted road to see what she had in her...... I was doing 270km on the speedo when I saw the car (going in the same direction in the slow lane) I slowed a little and then nailed the front brake when I saw it was a cop car..... I got a half hour long talking to while I shuffled my feet and looked at the ground (thinking that I'd just blown the kids colledge fund)...... The guy gave me a ticket for doing 120 in a 100 zone. I was doing 120 when I blew by him with the front tire still screaming. It only cost me $115 CDN but it slowed me down for the rest of the summer.

 

many, check your e-mail

 

i am prepared

$3750.50 for driving on a weight restricted road ....... 10 ton limit with a truck that weighed close to 31 tons

 

My worst 71 in a 55. 181 bucks. But i earned it. The one i'm glad i didn't get caught for was 105 in a 65 racing my 1990 dodge caravan against another one. Yea i know i was stupid. But he started it and i still won. I didn't know that thing would go that fast.

 

Most expensive was 101 in a 65, worst was a minor in possession of an alcoholic beverage.

 

Besides the Dui which was really stupid. I got caught doing 137 in a 45. Six months temporary license probation and about 250 in fines along with traffic school where I was the special case and was used as an example. Also had to reapply for my license. Anp was on good behavior probation for 5 years. Meaning should I get anything more than 10 over or a parking ticket= loss of license for 3 years.

FOr a fact it is comin up on the tenth anniversary of that suspension thanks for reminding me.

 

104mph in a 50. 54 miles over the posted limit.
$1700

I got it in the 79 in my sig.

 

You really need to join the Nwst Chapter, you know that? You'd fit right in.

 

Im in Canada, land of KPH(kilometers per hour)

driving my 77 Ford 2WD pick-up truck with 460/C6 4:10s
133 in an 80 during rush hour on way home from work, a payday as well, about 3:30PM, I was passing a car I didn't like coming over a rise the first time the cops set up a speedtrap there, one cop was standing in middle of highway with radar gun, as I went by he whacked my mirror with his clipboard!! He jumped in his cruiser, decision time, pull over or try and run(my plate was mud covered), I didn't know how fast I had passed that car but I was slowing down when they clocked me, I figured my friends had all got warnings for their first tickets so I might as well pull over, well, I was going too fast to get a warning, 53kph over the limit=$395 Canadian=most of my paycheck then
two weeks later on the way to work, about 5:00AM, cruising at 110KPH, blue lights on behind me, same spot on highway, same trooper, goes back to his car with my license and registration, comes back a minute later, says to me "You're lucky I have somewhere else to be.", turns on his lights, roasts his tires doing a u-turn on the spot, and drives down the highway I had just come from!! Lucky!

Fastest in my truck was pegged the speedo straight down and an inch up to the left!! About a 100MilesPH at somewhere in 4000-5000rpm range

 

the fastest i have ever been....and the most scared ive almost ever been. Is in my Cavalier Z24 I took the limiter out of it one day so i was out one night seeing what she would do.

I was going downhil and at 110+mph, thats as far as speedo goes (waaaay tooo fast in cavalier) my radar detector goes NUTS. I was like...uh oh...im dead. I was lucky, all it was was one of those trailers they park on the side of the road to calibrate your speedo, it only said 46, cuz its 2 digits max, so im asuming i was going 146mph....which would be about right, since i was topped out in 5th

 

I have a couple bad ones. The worst was in a old jeep comanche pickup when I was 19. He clocked me at 97 in a 65. He came up and asked if I knew how fast I was going, then looked at my speedometer (which only went to 85) and said " I guess not" $170.
The worst overspeed was 96 in a 55. Believe it or not he let me go with a warning. He saw my Ohio liscense and asked me if I was a Browns fan, I said yes and he said have a nice night. This was in albuquerque NM, and I cant name a single player on that team.

 

The FASTEST I've ever driven on a highway was 140mph, highway 101 headed south middle of the night. This is when I had my 1997 Acura CL. I've got to say, VTEC really is cool! That CL was a 2.2 four banger.
