Im with you on that one, bashing or none.

 

Good luck with everything.

 

oh ok I thought he got caught going 156mph but it was only 80. Of course considering where it was which I don't know. 80mph is not that bad.

I got pulled over going 130 once in my old WS6 the cop let me go and yes I went out and bought a lottery ticket and lost.

 

its a whisker under 100 mph, not what you call really pushing it, but enough to get me in some serious trouble here

 

That's a nasty fine for only 97mph! Traffic on our highways around here hovers close to 90

 

I get the urge myself for speed, it's easy in a vette. Wife and I went to Niagara falls from Detroit last year. On our way there just outside of Port Huron I hooked up with a Porshe and both of us did between 120-140 most of the way there. I'll tell ya it just starts to hookup at 100. Very lite traffic and boy oh boy was it fun. Porshe was my bird dog, let him stay ahead most of the time. No OPP's until we got close to Niagara, then had to slow down. Car's made for the open road. Came back thru Penn. , that was a whole different drive - sloooow downed a whole lot. Lots of state boys out hideing.

 

Ain't it the truth.

 

Maybe not many may care but for comparison sake.

Hawaii: Mandatory Jail Time for Driving 20 MPH Over Speed Limit
Drivers in Hawaii face mandatory jail time for traveling just 20 MPH over the limit. The new law will generate up to $6 million in annual revenue.

Hawaii motorists pulled over for driving just 20 MPH over the limit on a freeway as of yesterday faced penalties that include a mandatory 10 day jail sentence and fines up to $1025. According to state survey of citations issued last year, about one in ten -- 5,483 -- would fall victim to the new statute, generating up to $5,757,150 in revenue.

The "excessive speed" law applies to those driving 80 MPH on a freeway or 30 MPH over on other streets. Hawaii has the lowest maximum speed limit in the country, with all other states posting at least one road at 65 MPH. First time offenders face fines between $525 and $1025, an immediate 30-day license suspension without due process, mandatory driver training at additional cost, and a minimum of 48 hours in jail or 36 hours of community service.

A third offense within five years brings mandatory fines of $1025, a minimum 90-day license revocation, a mandatory ten days in jail (with a maximum of 30 days possible) plus driver training.

 

speed limit is 100kph or 60mph, was a country rd on an overtaking lane that was straight radar went off , hit brakes , could not see anyone, gave it some more. was no build up on radar, it just went nuts

 

Were you doing this speed on the road between the airport and downtown Auckland? I didn't get a chance to check out the rest of Auckland, but I did notice part of that road would be nice to do some speed on.

 

no, but that area is well known for their revenue collecting

 

id sell the vette and by a 50cc scooter, or just pedal

 

 

I think you're missing a few decimal points........

 

you should have dusted that vtec!!

 

It was KPH not MPH, which equates to 97.5 MPH.

There is no way a Honda Accourd Wagon would catch a vette at 156MPH.

 

Thats alot harsher than the states.... here we can do community service, get a lawyer and take a driving class to get higher speed tickets taken care of. Its easy to speed but good luck in the court battle

 

OK, now define Pi.

 

That's a rough break for below triple digits. I hope the judge goes easy on you.

 

Paul: did you do that in your head? Amazing!
