Isn't driving 20mph over the limit supposed to be a federal offense?

Uh... no? Traffic laws aren't exactly in the scope of the federal government's powers (although that doesn't stop it from using money to force states to create the laws it wants).

Can anyone from PA give me ticket advice

Don't drive more than 5mph over the speed limit in PA.

Just because your car can't go as fast as mine, don't be my moral compass. I'm asking for legal advice not some Dr. Phil wannabe assclown

93 mph? Wow, someone call F1 and tell them we've found the next Andretti. We all bow down to you...speedracer.

Indeed. OP, your reaction time is likely pretty darn close to that of everyone else.

From Pennsylvania's website:

When a driver is convicted for speeding 31 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit, the driver will have to attend a Departmental Hearing. The driver will receive a written notice of the specific time and location of the required hearing. The hearing examiner will review the driving record. Upon the Department's review of the hearing file, one or both of the following will be initiated:
1. 15 Day License Suspension
2. Special On-Road Driver's Examination
If a 15 day suspension is initiated, the driving record will show 5 points upon restoration. No points are removed if a special driver's examination is initiated and completed.
Failure to attend this Departmental Hearing will result in a 60 day license suspension.

Be glad you didn't lose your license on the spot. Slow the hell down. Average lifespans are 3x what they were several centuries ago. You've got plenty of time to get where you're going, but if you speed excessively, you might find that long lifespan cut unexpectedly short, endangering others in the process.


D'oh....a partly failed ownage-assist. I checked the wrong state. Off to Maryland's website!

Here we go:

Link
Take your pick:
"Speeding in excess of a posted speed limit of 65 miles an hour by 20 miles an hour or more" or "Speeding in excess of the posted speed limit by 30 miles an hour or more" - 5 points for either one.
And it looks like that's the same for Pennsylvania, too - 5 points for 31+ mph over the speed limit.

Oh the ironing...

MIght get 2 points on PA license, but probably nothing.

Dont listen to all the holier than now posts... Going 93 in a well equipped automobile is not that bad depending on traffic and road conditions. If there are not many other cars and open straight highway, it isnt dangerous at all. if he was doing it weaving in and out of rush hour traffic, thats a different story.


As a matter of fact, its the assholes doing less than the speed limit that are making our roads dangerous.

I'll give you advice from IL, "Dont drive 93 in a 55".

I'm from PA, my advice is the same.

 

[CptCrunch]

In KY, if you do 26 or more over, you get a ticket, and have a court date (just ask my good friend, and yes, that was a fun court experience). I have been pulled over for 91 in a 55, and that is the last time I'll do that. Didn't get a ticket tho, but still, 10 over is my max. I wouldn't be surprised if the points carried over or the DMV in your state has been made aware of such an offense.

I work at Penndot, found this on our website...

http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdo...fact_sheets/fs-dlc.pdf



Q: What violations committed in a member state will result in the suspension of my driving
privilege in PA?
A: The following offenses, if committed in a member state, would be treated as though the offense had
occurred in Pennsylvania and the appropriate sanction would be imposed under the provisions of our
Vehicle Code:
? Manslaughter or negligent homicide resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle (Section
3732);
? Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or a narcotic to a degree
which renders the driver incapable of safely driving a motor vehicle (Section 3731);
? Failure to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle accident resulting in the death or
personal injury of another (Section 3742);
? Any felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used (Crimes Code and Dangerous Drug
Act Offenses).
Although reported to PennDOT, minor traffic offenses such as speeding, red light, stop sign, etc., will
(NOT) appear on your driving record, unless you are a CDL holder. Points will not be assessed to
your PA driving record when convicted of a point related offense in a DLC member state.

Really? Never listen to the idiots on ATOT.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_License_Compact

All states are members except for Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Tennessee (dropped out in 1997), and Massachusetts

The Drivers License Compact require member states to report tickets received by motorist to the state where they received a license to drive so as to receive points and get an insurance hike. Also when a state suspends the license of a driver who is from out-of-state, the state where the motorist received a license to drive will also suspend their license.

ok, stating that people on ATOT can't be trusted to provide accurate info and then linking a wikipedia article that can be edited by anyone doesn't really help your case.

:roll:

Good to know that if I commit a crime in MD all I have to do is drive >92mph to elude all law enforcement (or radio waves for that matter).

Check my accident record. 0. I really don't care about the fine, I learned my lesson but I'm not asking for all of ATOT to sit here and bitch when 90% of this forum speeds.

Accident records are always 0 until the first one - which may be the last.

There is absolutly no excuse for driving that fast on roads that have a 55 limit.

a scary indicdent at 55 can be deadly at 90.

You deserve to have the points picked up by PA and live with the consequences.

 

[Anubis]

you dont deserve a licence IMO, going 40 over the limit is just fing stupid, you are actually lucky you wernt arrested on the spot
hell in canada they would have impounded your car

 

[IceBergSLiM]

you shouldn't post this sort of thing on a forum where nobody ever does anything wrong.
