Really Bad Speeding Ticket
#31
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.

hey i'm from St. Louis. Was the place you were at in the Chesterfield Valley? sounds very similar to that.
. haha i've always wanted to go that fast but i have seen a picture my parents reminded me of not to go fast. ya dont want to look like what i saw if i crash so i stay away from those speeds. but

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..

So i just kept going took the next exit and went shopping in walmart
