97 mph. I was hauling ass over on-ramp and the cop just happened to clock me as I entered highway. He let me off though....

[seanj130]

111 in 65. Ended up with two tint tickets and a no front plate ticket, both thrown out in court. NYS Trooper on the Thruway. Also a 109 in 65

I guess I had it coming but I have also been written for 73 in a 65 and 74 in a 65.. AND I wasn't even being a dick to the Trooper..

[A4 Quattro]

56 in a 45 (that I later found out was a 35, and the cop didn't know what the hell he was talking about). End of cop's shift, didn't feel like doing paperwork, got away with no ticket.

[s4ibis]

110 in 55. No ticket. Got a lecture though :)

I was doing 115mph on a bridge and somehow the cop got me at 85mph (in a 40 zone). Cop gave me a break and gave me a ticket for 24mph over.

Expensive lawyers.

[PaperishPlastic]

I have a friend who lives in Germany and he knows a guy in Australia who saw a show about a guy that drives an S4. He got 1 ticket at 135 in a 65. Another ticket that said 130+ but he was actually going about 155 and another ticket that said 115+

funny you talk about lawyers. i had 3 tickets basically thrown away recently (unsafe lane change, tailgating, speeding total of 9 points) and i only got 2 points and i represented myself [:D]

[s4ibis]

Actually it seems the more ridiculous the speed. The better sometime. They don't want to ruin your life so if you are polite, they might cut you a break. Depends on the cop. Never argue and be polite. Goes a long way.

When you get pulled over. Don't say shit, don't acknowledge ANYTHING. Don't give him anything that will make him remember you, the time of day.. Other than your car..

So WHEN not IF, your lawyer goes to court, he has the best chance to challenge the officer, the radar gun, and the departments procedures.. THAT is how you beat tickets like that.. It is like beating a DWI, you just make the prosecution mess up as much as possible and HOPE for a serious reduction.

Hope that explains it..

Many years ago was caught doing 260kmh in a 100kmh zone at 3am by a ghost car. Got off on all charges. Really expensive lawyer lol

[B8 S FOR]

[VeryBadman]

Never got a ticket in S4 but when I was in A4 almost a year back, I was clocked 85 in 65 but the officer wrote me 70 instead.

[jedirocker]

GTR nailed for 140mph in Euless (suburb of Dallas/Ft. Worth)...thankfully they were shooting video when it happened:

[PaperishPlastic]

Is that your gtr?

[jedirocker]

Is that your gtr?

no

[PaperishPlastic]

Ok, I just assumed it was yours since you posted it. 140 is not that special, for some random car. I've seen cars fly by me at at speeds of 150+ with a cop car not too fAr behind. Los Angeles freeways turn into racetracks late at night. I just set my car. To cruise at 72mph and don't mess around.

[Patrick Bateman]

Pulled over plenty of times... No tix last ~10 years! Dont let them walk back to squad w/o pleading whatever case it is you have! Be polite is good advise.

PB.

[mobile S4]

Never argue and be polite. Goes a long way.

If the first words you say are "I'm sorry" you'll likely get a warning. Admit the wrong and move on (within 25 mph). Anything more and I'll be booing you in court with the rest of the speeders (MD PBJ hearing).

4 warnings - VT, MD, NH, and DE

[theKB]

All you guys getting caught doing 25ish mph over the limit should come to BC, the traffic Gestapo here will impound you for a week at road side and slap you with a couple thousand bucks in fines and fees, and if they think you are "racing" they will try and sieze and sell off your car... Fun times [headbang]

[Ggreek]

18 years ago got a ticket for 120+ in a 55. I had just gotten my license and was driving an Alfa
Romeo GtV6. Loved that car. 595 dollar ticket.

[FatalBert]

Exactly what I was wondering reading these posts over 100mph with not a single one getting a speeding ticket lol...

[mdma2004]

155mph in 5th gear :)

[KayS4]

208 in a 100... it was bad. Wouldnt do it again or at least not stopping. hmm Expensive lawyers only helped make it better not go away.

[motorboatingsob]

I was clocked at 125 in a 55 about 15 years ago and almost got my license suspended. Ended up with a $200 fine from the original $600 and mandatory 30 day suspension Thank god mom is a lawyer. I have learned to be a lot more careful these days and haven't had a ticket in many years. knock on wood. Granted, I definitely still do some runs when I feel it's safe.

[XtremeThrottle]

164mph in a 65mph. Luckily my cousin is a MA State Trooper. I was in my STi at the time.

[XtremeThrottle]

Fastest i have ever been was in Luneburg Germany on one of there 2 lane highways doing 313km/h in a 100km/h in a SL65 AMG with the top down. [;)] ONE OF THE BEST DAYS EVER!!! Literally i thought the people we were passing were in reverse. Not even driving slow but in REVERSE!!

[richib86]

in my b6 s4, 125 in a 55 in CT(they can arrest you for 85+ there apparently lol) going over a crest and i pinned the brakes when i saw him, when the cop came up to the window, he asked me to get out of the car so he can show me something.... he showed me that my brakes were literally smoking lol. i ended up with a 80 in a 55 lol

[ENV²]

In my 99' Maxima 103mph in a 45mph work zone : This was bad. Same night got slapped with 29 other tickets, 2 misdemeanors and a felony. All dropped for a Reckless driving misdemeanor.

In my 04 350Z 50MPH in a 35 and dropped in court

06' Acura RL 93MPH in a 55: dropped in court and a 87MPH in a 50 in Delaware: paid

11' S4: none

My gf's 11' Impreza: 87MPH in a 55 in Boston: paid

[vdubjetta02]

90 in a 65... I was honest & admitted to it. He cut it down to 71 in a 65 on the spot

[yungcotter]

Ive got 47 in a 20, 88 in a 65, 82 in a 65, 81 in a 65 80 in a 65 and 110 in a 65 all with in 6 months. officers reduced most on the spot to dirty licence plate tickets and other stupid ones. the 47 ended up as a 2 point disobeying a traffic device. 110 i was let off with a warning it was 3am on i87 he was coming from the opposite direction and there happened to be a u-turn rite there.

[OmaHahn]

Yeah - I'm not sure how a lot of you are saying triple digit speed in much slower zones - many states have laws that anything over (something like 50 MPH over the limit) is considered negligent reckless driving or whatever the term is and it's automatic go-to-jail time and car impounded.

[netimebut4]

140+ in a 55...[>_>]

I got one driving my Legacy Spec B in Northern BC doing 147km/h in a 80km/h zone. I had an Alberta license so I only had to pay a fine ($370 for the ticket). I decided to fight to ticket so it was put in "limbo" for two years. In the meantime I switched my license to BC. They set my court date for Jan 2nd 2009 which I couldn't make since I was in Mexico. I ended up pleading guilty and paying the fine not realising that it would be applied to my BC license instead of my Alberta one that I had at the time. With an excessive speeding ticket the BC registry charges you an additional $370/year for three years following the conviction. That fee is completely separate from insurance. It ended up being a $1500 ticket.. FML

I remember reading a post by a state trooper on some radar detector forum, that he will only ticket for reckless driving if there were a lot of cars on the road at the time and it was truly dangerous. He said if you do 100+ at 3am, he will just write you for the speed.

Hopefully most cops go by this.

[dparm]

In Illinois, anything more than 30 over is automatic reckless driving as of Jan 1, 2013.

That sucks. I lived in chicago a couple years back and never saw one speed trap. Feels pretty lawless on the area highways. The dan ryan is like 45mph for some reason, yet everyone is driving 70-90.

[Doc Brown]

118 in a 55, radar clocked on the Long Island Expressway a long time ago as a much younger man. I, however, had a good story and got off.

I agree with above. Always be polite with the officer. Never mouth off at him/her. I am respectful but lighthearted. I never admit to anything. If I can make a joke, I do, but always respectful. If you are cool with most LEO, they are cool with you. Yes, I have encountered asses in the past, but most are okay.

I don't have many conversations anymore, but did have one about three months ago. I was the only car on the road. I saw him pulling out of the woods to chase. It was obviously me. I just pulled far over on a wide part of the shoulder and waited for him. Radar clocked 80 in a 65. The trooper and I had a pleasant conversation and I got off with failure to obey a traffic sign ticket. We actually joked around a bit. Cool with me. I usually have to pay my lawyer a lot of money to get them down to that violation. The trooper asked me "do you know how fast you were going?" I responded, "Apparently I appeared fast enough to catch your attention." I had picked him up on radar, but my reaction time was poor as I was running on less than four hours sleep. The detector functioned well with plenty of warning. I got caught because of the loose nut behind the wheel.

Truth be told, when tired or doing long runs, I usually just set the cruise at something reasonable and roll.

[Brozie]

awesome stuff! thanks for responses.

[Norm_S4]

awesome stuff! thanks for responses.

Brozie, no, no, no thank you. ;-)

Interesting topic that we dont want to share too much with a forum but...

I always in a hurry to get to hell and back so I wont divulge how fast you can go back and forth but I remember at one point hitting a speed trap with 3 policemen after me and oddly enough they never stopped me as I just mixed in traffic (they were way too slow to get on the highway) and I saw them go by me ... all three of them. Mind you I was one of 3 cars going very fast and that was before the S4.

Now my S4 is impossible to hide in plain view so now going to hell and back is a lot longer.

To conclude, one stupid ticket is about it for the last 20 years and on the S4. In a 30mph zone clocked at 50. I was polite and still got a full ticket and said "thank you Mr. officer" and drove off. Although being nice normally pays off as people point out, it doesnt always pay. One thing for sure, in my neck of the woods if you're anything but pleasant to the law officers, you get an extra fine for being anything else so polite is a must.

[s4ibis]

Just remembered another incident last year in my S5 headed up to F1 grand prix in montreal, passed a NYS trooper going 125 in a 65. Had my V1, but it wasnt going off. I kept looking in my rearview but he never came after me. Maybe he wanted a bigger fish...lots of Ferrari's on the road that day.

That or probably he wasn't running energizers in his radar...

I got pulled over in Illinois for suspescion of drug trafficing.

-buddy and I took 2 weeks off and were road triping across the country in a brand new 335i..... we were doing the speed limit exactly and 2 cops pulled us over. Then a 3rd with a drug dog.... I hate that state. Needless to say, we are just a couple of alcoholics and had no drugs and hadn't had a drink in 3 hours.... after 1.5 hours they let us go

so cops relate new bimmers with drugs? neat

[Can_I_Haz?]

All I have to say is I have very good luck with the police and get let off half the time I get pulled over maybe more. I've done some stupid shit too.

you get off half the time you get pulled over? that isn't very good luck, that's probably just above average.

i'm curious though, tell us some stories about the other stupid shit you've done :) :)

[Audifile13]

Past a sitting cop at 140 in a 35! By the time he caught me he gave me a 5 over ticket!! That was many many many years ago!

If you are doing triple digit speeds with a car anywhere near you, you will get boned for the most part. If you get pulled over, and pull over in a safe spot, and give extra room on the road side, it really goes a long way..

Texas just opened a toll highway with speed limit of 85 between Austin and San Antonio. I can see the norm speed easily being 95-100 mph for everybody driving on it. I must make a trip over there soon [evilsmile]

I believe they have speed cameras on that highway. So, not gonna happen on a regular basis.

[ddillenger]

A younger, less responsible me got a ticket for 136mph over the limit. Still not allowed to drive in NY.

[S4charged]

Before my son was born I was clocked doing 85 in a 40 zone. I was just slowing down from hitting 100 in my GTR. Cop was straight forward.

Where in NY? The most you can lose your license in NY is 18 months... Unless you were drunk while doing it, and even if you got your first DWI doing it, you would have it back in 18 months, a 2nd DWI you could lose it for 2 years..

[JappleS]

149 in a 55 while driving a Mustang. Cop said he clocked me at 149, but there's no way in hell I was going that fast. I was probably doing maybe 130 max. Cop read me the riot act and told me that he could arrest me on a felony charge of reckless driving. Then he let me go with a warning. Having an uncle on the police force paid off big time. LOL

I dropped my uncles name.. Funny that he used to be high speed enforcement on NYS Thruway. He used to drive the 6 speed Cameros. And the Trooper said I could either call my uncle and the trooper would tell him my real speed (When I was 17) OR, I could take a few tint tickets and a no front plate ticket. At that age I was SCARED SHITLESS of my elders.. So I opted for the tint tickets.

[B8 S FOR]

No speed cameras. Just TXTag Cameras. Just cameras at the toll booths for not paying your $6.00 Toll! Hennessey tested their CTS-V "VR 1200" there 220.5 MPH going through the Toll both and the camera still caught the license plate #!!!

[Kem]

anyone get arrested? Just curious of what happens.

I've been pushing my luck for years and decided to cool it with the 100mph stuff. I was doing 110/120 pretty much twice a day getting on the freeway near my house which rarely has traffic. But decided getting arrested is not going to be cool so I have my speed warning set to 95mph. :D

I have a speeding system I've developed by observing where CHP officers hide and what tactics they use to catch people. It's served me well I had not gotten a ticket in 9 years and I constantly speed. BUt it finally caught up with me the other day, I honestly just wasn't paying attention (having a conversation with friend in passenger seat) as I crested an obvious speed trap. Laser got me at 84, got a ticket for 80 in a 65, super nice cop.
