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.

I got a ticket for $135 for 100mph offense, pleaded down to 75 in a 70 in Alabama. Only 2 pts. on my license. It was just a once in a blue moon burst of the throttle... to get away from a pack of cars that was annoying me.

I got pulled over on my bike doing 135, cop really liked my bike and let me go with a 50 in a 40mph. 96mph in a vette just does not seem that fast or uncommon. I usually cruise at 80mph and that's just pacing traffic in the fast lane.

Are you kidding?!!! How can they suspend your license w/o any due process? So, everyone just immediately believes the officer that pulls you over, and you don't have a trial? That's outrageous! And 20 over is nothing! When I was in Hawaii this summer, I brought my V1 and was routinely going 30-40 over...
. Government is just looking for more revenue.

Are you for real? What in the world is a vette doing in Iceland? Prolly a vert too. Thought all they had there was fishing boats and everyone walked or road a donky. You got a engine block heater, belive it or not I do! Mine has a Canadian export option. Even though it never lived there.
