Is this a serious question?

I don't see a problem with the question. Either you're speeding deliberately or not. If you're not doing it deliberately, is it because you have difficulty controlling your car?

As a side question do you guys go over the speed limit because you guys are purposely doing so or do you guys have some kind of trouble controlling the gas pedal?

Why not use cruise control?

Probably a lack of cruise control. I love to set cruise and drive super duper slow, and it happens quite often that someone ahead of me will be doing 5 faster than me, then for no reason they're going 5 slower than me and I need to turn cruise off, then they speed up again for no reason.

It's the worst on highways. The area north of my city has a lot of hilly roads. What happens is people will tailgate me on the straight aways then I somehow end up a half mile ahead of them when we get to a hill with a gentle incline. I've had my cruise on the whole time, so it's not my speed that's changing. People just suck at driving.

:awe: Indeed, but this time the cops were ruthless. :p

Oh, and I am a superior driver. Just because I get a speeding ticket doesn't mean I can't drive. It just means I drive over the posted speed limit(which everyone does).


I don't.

If you were speeding you got what you deserve. Enjoy your ticket.

That's not reckless driving where you are? In VA it's 20 over or 80+.

Nope. If it was, we'd have mass killings on an epic level.

i-205 is known for being a cop rape zone. They fucking get out there all the time. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize Friday and Saturday nights were their best times...

Oh and I speed intentionally usually. Cruise control is fail. I'm tired of using cruise control because no matter what speed I put it at, there is some jackass who will fuck up the mojo.

Doing 25 or more over is reckless driving here. They can take you to jail if they want as well.

Yep. Class 1 felony here. Never heard of anyone going to jail for it, but they can suspend your license and you get a permanent criminal record. I actually got caught going 80 by accident once, cop was nice and knocked it down to 79 (at the time I didn't know the 80 or over part, was going 80 in a 65). Cop actually asked me if I knew that 80 or over was reckless driving (I admitted it at the outset). Didn't know that, but I sure as hell knew the punishment. The shit-my-pants look on my face must have been priceless. :D

Apparently breaking the law is perfectly fine if it helps you get to your destination a few minutes faster. Speeding is illegal, op sped so he broke the law. That makes him a criminal in my eyes. I've never sped once, but I guess shaving 5 minutes off my time isn't as important as not breaking a law. Would be uber if 2/3rd of the Highway Patrol did nothing but pull over speeders and give out tickets all day. Not that I have any beef directly with speeders, but people who think they can break a law simply because they don't agree with it are people I'd like to see pay for their arrogance.

80 in a 55(it's put this low so cops can get moniez) and following too closely.

Both were bullshit(Especially following too closely). There were about 3 other guys in the vicinity as well who were all laserin' away. All well... Maybe I'll sell the car and move early up to Seattle if my insurance goes apeshit and if I can't win this one. :p New door opens... >_>

Oh, and the ticket is $600 all together. My butthole grew 3 sizes today.
Wow that cop is a dick. Were you being ignorant & smart or something?

Hehe you don't want to know how fast I was going today or how many laws violated. Hint: 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R.

80 in a 55 is too much. 80 in a 65 with a cop nearby is cutting it. keep it to +/- 10 and don't complain. If oyu get pulled over for 75 in a 65, then you're just unlucky. Get pulled over for 80, well that's your fault. It's a gamble many of us make all the time.

No shit. Someone local (I'm local :hmm:) should print this thread out as an admission and mail it to the court clerk.

You immature asshole, you did not get raped. If any woman you ever cared about got raped you'd never throw that term around so carelessly or lightly. Grow up.

safe speed on highway is what everyone else is doing. Fucking Toronto drivers are now approaching 130km/h on Highway 401 as the "norm" when there is no congestion. The posted limit is 100.

Fail is fail. You knew it's a trap zone and you decided you are invincible. Hopefully the insurance company will rape you once more.

OP knew they were speeding, and chose to do it anyway. You got busted. Don't cry about it.

Now you see why I drive so damn slow. You know that one jerk who drives exactly the speed limit through construction zones, like 35mph when everyone else is going 50mph? I'm that guy. Speeding tickets suck. The people behind me can suck it.

This!

Money paid for speeding tickets is a waste.

OP just shit out a new computer.

Sounds to me like the roads around where the OP lives are just a little safer today.

Well then you can't really call what happened rape. You are clearly a willing participant in the speeding game. Please edit your title to reflect this revelation. Something like, "I lost my behymen to a police officer and it was messy."
