that is no doubt it sucks balls for a lead foot in washington.
Got busted on backroads of Montana running 76 in a 55 zone. Cost me $5 daytime speeding violation. :rock:
If I wouldnt have had the best brakes ever I would of got a 110 or so in a 55. Rolling down about a 3mile straight road with few hills. I had my Old GTI opend up chillin and I saw 2 blue stripes on the hood of a impalla about a mile or so up. So I drop it back a gear and Slam on the brakes. He said his radar flashed a bunch of numbers and it leveled out at 98. Then he complemented how well the car stops. By the time he checked it again it was 70 something... So I got 98... Close to the 100 club.
Better then that Who here has passed a cop? Big 4x4 Dodge Sherriff. Was bout 3 cars in a line I passed the last one at 120... The last one... you guessed it... the cop. He thought it was so funny I didnt see the BIG sticker on the back he just told me to "NEVER DO IT AGAIN" And that was in Louisiana. As stated earlier... Anything over 30 over the speed limit and you can go to jail.
Oh yeah, back in 84 my friend and I were in his 70 GrandPrix with a balanced and blueprinted 455 cruising from Tulsa to Okmulgee Ok with the 160mph speedo buried. Passed an Okmulgee cop that was on his way to work and didn't know it. We stopped in Okmulgee at Long John Silver's and ate dinner. About the time we finished he pulled up in his squad car and gave us hell. :laugh:
4x4 Sherriff??? Sounds like you've been around St. Landry Parish (Lafayette, Opelousas, Alexandria areas). I don't know much about North La, but that's the only area I've seen 4x4 units.
Now I don't feel so bad about 102 in a 65. Well, technically, all I have is a non-moving notation on record. As for La laws, 20+ is considered wreckless driving. At the officer's discretion, he can hold your license. The carbon copy of ticket is your legal right to drive. License can be returned to you on your court date... mandatory court date (unless DA let's you slide). Speeds in excess of 100+ "can" land you in jail and/or license suspension, BUT... you guessed it.... officer's discretion. That is also a mandatory court appearance.... unless the DA let's you slide. LOL As for the 100+ speed, I had already hit the brakes just before the LIDAR button was depressed. Luckily, I was catching up to the car in front that he clocked going 104. LIDAR can zap you at over 1500ft away (depending on gun models).
