When I was in high school, I got pulled over for doing 120 on i45 going to Galveston. I was in a 97 Explorer Limited. State Trooper was cool with me and only gave me a ticket. He had every right to take me in. I definently learned my lesson.

I've been shot doing 70 in a 45, although he must have gotten me late because I was doing 90-95 before I noticed the Durango Headlights coming up fast in my rear-view. (That's the SUV the local PD uses. Luckily the officer knew of my career path and it was lowered to a failure to obey a traffic device in court :D The fastest I've ever gone outright was 135 in a 45 in my Saab 900, back when I had just gotten my license and had a deathwish. These days I keep it to 10 to 15 over at most.

Very true. Around here though, the police (for the most part) give you a 10 mph, 15 if you're lucky, leeway. And I'm not talking about doing ten to fifteen over in a 25 or a 30, I mean in a 45, 55, or 65I'm not that ridiculous. Yes, I'm in the wrong, but then isn't it wrong for deputies to go speeding around in the early morning to make up for lost mileage while they were sleeping?? And no, I'm not kidding I've seen them sleeping.

just this morning... 101 in a 70.

Gotta love those fly by's :D
I had to do a double take on the vehicle to make sure my visual estimation of speed was correct with the radar speed. Had one that I lost tonight doing 100 in a 70, in the same spot. I found some good stuff out of that place on the interstate.
I finally got radar/laser certified and I am loving it.

I've gotten a few motorcycles at 100+. Some stopped, some didn't. Can't say I've ever gotten a four-wheeled vehicle over 100, but plenty of my co-workers have.
When I was young and stupid, I myself was going 104 in a 55. I know this because my fuel cut-off on that particular vehicle was 104.5. Trooper stopped me and told me he got me on RADAR at 93, suffice to say I didn't argue.Anyway, I was a volunteer firefighter and I think that was what helped me out. He wrote me for 74/55 and I mailed it in.
When I was even younger, yet still just as stupid, I got stopped for 66/35 running late from my lunch hour at my high school job. I think the fire department saved my *** on that one too, since I got a "failure to obey traffic control device" ticket instead of a speeding ticket.
I wonder what both of these cops would think if they knew I was on the job now.I'm sure they're both retired by now.
