Two words bud "Lawyer Up" it may save your license and higher insurance rates.
I got ticketed in that great state of TX for doing 78 in a 65 (at night) cost $173.00. Knock on wood it hasn't showed up on my record here in Cali.
Good luck

I was going to say the same thing. They have planes here too. But they don't use them in the city though.
If you see a strips going across the road every now and then, those are markers for the airplanes to clock cars.

I think its 20 over here in PA and they start talking about lifting your license.At any rate, if his insurance company gets wind of it, his rates are going to go up.

Just like Stangkiller said......I'm guessing we've all (or most of us) have done it....you were just unlucky
Good luck with getting it resolved....i'm sure it's going to hurt some

Yep, it looks like you're looking at a Six month license revocation for speeding over 100 miles per hour
http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/laws.html
http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/stats/171/17.html
(10) a violation of an applicable speed limit by a person
driving in excess of 100 miles per hour. The person's license
must be revoked for six months for a violation of this clause,
or for a longer minimum period of time applicable under section
169A.53, 169A.54, or 171.174.
Looks like you're F#<ed. Unless a lawyer can get you off somehow. They got you at 110, hopefully he can plead it down to 99. Whatever you do, don't just pay the fine and send the ticket in. Thats the same as pleading guilty.
But get ready to open your wallet. Wide.

Good luck and dont worry about the flames. Anyone who states they dont speed in their Corvette is, well a Hypocrite.
Yes, it will suck if you hit someone , or hurt an innocent party. But we are all grown-ups and if I felt like being preached to , I would go to Church.
Again....Good Luck

The judge asked him if he had anything to say after the penalty was issued. He said no and left with his license, car, and some dignity left. He was lighter in the pocket but he can still drive.

from the dictionary so its true.
hypocrite
n : a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he does not hold
n : corvette owner who bashes you for driving the car as it should but does so him/herself.
at least you were going fast on an open highway in daylight where you have great view of the road.
imo id fight that ticket to prevent insurance rates going up and to keep your license. here in hawaii 30 over is mandatory court. just dont tell your insurance co and hope they dont find out so keep on top of your bills and dont make any changes for a while.

sorry to hear that bro... but i thought in MN (where i live also) that any speeding over 100 is a immediate removal of license... i would say, if she didn't give u that, ur lucky!
i would go to court regardless, see if they drop it or at least lower the fine... never hurts... perhaps the cop won't show up and it will get thrown out...
at any rate, good luck...

sucks you got caught...
No, I'm not gonna flame. I speed every day.
Florida - december '05 heading to Miami to pick up a viper (gave my friend a ride) Blew by a cop at 130 on I-95. He didn't even bother chasing me. On the way home, we took the FL turnpike late at night. We didn't drop below 110mph between pit stops for several hundred miles. Of course, at 140 my friend's targa top on his viper started acting funny, so we had to limit our speed...
South Dakota - September '04 - AVERAGED 94mph across the entire state.
I've never gotten a ticket in my Z. Got a warning once in Kansas. That's it so far - knock on wood. I don't even have a radar detector. been meaning to get a V1 forever... I guess I just have good instincts about where the fuzz is. hehe
Good luck in court!

General Question : why does everyone that gets a speeding ticket (while actually speeding) complain about it????
I would honestly like to know
