153 in a 45.
Spring Break 1982

$1,300 but that included a fleeing/attempt to elude.

On a side note get a copy of my upcoming book “How To Go From ROTC To Air Force Enlisted in One Easy Step!”

Wow. $200 for 55 in a 40. I went off on that dude. Complete a-hole. If you are in a performance car expect to be pulled over time to time. I could go 90 in my wife’s old mini van and nothing would haven’t. LOL

Excessive Speeding (in excess of 100mph). The ticket was only $50 (1986) because he never got a radar on me (I drove by his hiding spot so fast he didn't even know I was there until I blew by him). He admitted that he caught me only because I had stopped to wait for traffic while I made a left turn (I didn't even know he was chasing me until he slammed on his breaks as he crested the hill behind me).

$285 dollar ticket for doing 84 in a 70 about a month ago


I got a ticket for that much for rolling through a stop sign once

And I didn't even roll through it is the worst part. I definitely stopped, albeit briefly, then went because it was clear. Cop car wasn't facing my direction so there wouldn't have been any video of it, so I figured it was pretty pointless to fight it.

I most always hire an attorney and it gets dropped to a non moving. But I think worst I’ve gotten is like 45 over. It was in a construction zone in Broussard. Also got me with careless operation.

Nah, not buying it. Nobody can move "a bunch of stuff into a dorm" from a parking lot into a dorm room in 5 minutes.

The gimp legged dude who flagged the cop down was sitting there watching me get written up. There were 3 or 4 empty crip spots next to me so it wasn't like one of them had to walk.



This says all I need to know about how you feel about handicapped people and how you view yourself as being privileged and above the law. So, "the gimp had at least 3-4 empty crip spots in the area"-------you're all heart.

Most expensive speeding ticket ever. In some Euro countries your ticket can be accessed based on your net worth.

quote:

In 2010, a Swedish driver, 37, was fined a whopping 1.08 million Swiss francs (£957,000 / $1.2 million) in what is believed to be the largest speeding fine in the world. The Swedish driver, whose Mercedes had a disconnected speedometer, was caught doing 125mph in a 20mph zone.

Like Finland, Switzerland calculates the level of the fine according to a person's income.

I was doing at least 120 out west. I paid for a hooker for the arresting officer. Does that count?

28 in a 25, golden meadow
500 bucks and 6 hrs in an orange jumpsuit

the lack of license registration and insurance contributed to that

101 in a 55. It came with a reckless driving charge as well. I didn’t know it but I was semi-racing with an unmarked car. The race ended when he lit me up

105 in a 60 outside of Tuscaloosa ~ a year ago. Had to drive back to Tuscaloosa from New Orleans for a day to appear in court. Pleaded not guilty and had to pay $285 in court cost/ticket and my insurance went up ~ a grand a year in premium. Not sure if it was bc of that since i also had a comprehensive claim for a shattered back window a few months later.

ETA: Technically I should have been arrested and stay a night in jail bc the Law is anything over 30 miles requires that, but since I was polite and drive all the way from New Orleans to Tusca for the court, The DA was "nice" enough to not ask for the mandatory jail time as long as i showed up and paid the fine/court cost.

$480 Dublin, GA. Maybe 75 in a 65, in 2006.

How I didn’t get a ticket driving from Austin to Houston when I got the call that ex wife had gone into labor, I don’t know. I only went up there for an hour long meeting. I did about 100 the entire way back.
