It's funny you guys said "you would of kept going". I agree however I didn't see the guy fully until I was making the turn on the exit. On my way to the can the officer says to me "I'm supprised you got off at that exit, becuase I was getting ready to call it off." He said in the past he had clocked people going that fast before but they have always kept going. Now I know what to do next time.

I talked to my lawyer today and he said since this is my first run in with the law, I would not be facing any jail time. I'm sure this will cost me 2k after it's all said and done with.

Lawyers can do wonderful things.

I had a ticket dismissed because officer in his explanation wrote "I observed a vehicle traveling........blah blah blah" So because officer did not specify what vehicle he saw going fast ticket was dismissed...........96 in 60mph.

I'm not proud of the ticket and not that I want to get them, but it's not that I was speeding in front of the cops on purpose.

I was in NJ on the Parkway the other day and cops were using LASER. Not once, but twice did I see different cops on the side of the road shooting cars with laser.. so it seems like radar detectors are going to be pretty useless.

I am really only using my x50 just for reasonable speeding as everyone does 10-15 over the speed limit usually around here, and its good to know I can have some time to slow down closer to the speed limit when the cops are around..

I agree, it sounds like you were on 40/64 in Chesterfield Valley. I hit 145 on the same stretch.
