Worst speeding ticket

Was wondering what anyones worst speeding ticket was. I have 4 in my first 8 months. Cop was nice on the worst and only nailed me for 99 in a 60.fun car. hard to drive slow.

I only have one ticket in this car, and it's a pretty boring one at that.

I got caught doing 90 in a 65 trying to get my sister somewhere on time, a little less than a year ago. Cop was nice, put me down for 80. I did traffic school, so insurance didn't really care about it.

I haven't sped since then.

I'm not a contender for the worst speeding ticket by any means but possibly a couple entertaining ones.

Especially the time SEVEN police vehicles were required to pull over a BRZ and FRS in west virginia (Sorry, only two pictured). I guess nothing else really goes on and they thought it was gonna be something crazy. Cops were cool, they asked me to pop my hood to check it out

Another time I saw a Corvette and a Mustang racing and I got in trouble for wanting a better view of it.

Doesn't Virginia have the WORST speeding laws in the country?

Yes it does. This was the other Virginia. 97 in a 40, written as 44 in a 40. Good road, not the worst way to spend $160.

How the hell? How old are you? That doesn't bode well for your insurance premiums at ALL.

I've owned this car for 3 years now and have 55000 miles. I've done some aggressive back roads driving, drifting and doughnuts in parking lots and have yet to get a serious ticket. You have literally a ticket every two months, perhaps it's a warning to control yourself better or find a place that doesn't have a lot of police activity and invest in a radar detector/laser detector.

If the cop went easy on you by only hitting you for 99 in a 60, you must've been up to some seriously irresponsible stuff on public roads. It is a fun car, but it's incredibly easy to drive it slow if your license/insurance premiums/public safety is on the line.

I went from a Escort Passport 8500 about 12 years ago and now onto a Uniden R3 just recently, so 12 years no speeding tickets.
Going through Virginia on vacation was the last one right before I bought that first detector. 63 in a 60 ticket pushed me to make their(roadside tax collectors) existence negligible on my driving record and wallet.
Now I know when those punks are sitting waiting at least 1/4 mile off axis, most of the time a good 1/2 mile away and more than mile or more frequently.
Even if you are a normal driver and especially if you drive a little over here and there, an initial investment of a radar detector will save you a lot of money and stress in the long run.
My son drives very slow and safe and I still have him using one so he doesn't get that one jerk cop that is handing out 3 mph over tickets to boost his departments cash reserves.

That's not how being an LEO works, sorry to bust your hate cops bubble. Also it's not how the budgeting works for Law Enforcement either.

Keep in mind he's Canadian and is probably referring to KM instead of miles. That's still excessive, but not quite as bad as 99 MPH.

I haven't been pulled over, let alone ticketed, in 10 years. Never been pulled over in my truck either.

Back when I was 20 I got a racing ticket. I actually was not "racing" at the time. But at that point in my life, my driving habits... Lets just say, left room for improvement.

They sent me to a "Driving Class" at a hospital 2.5 hours away. The class started in the conference room where we looked at photos of crashes and injured people for two hours. Then they tell us that all the photos were of crashes in the last few days. And that now we are all going to QUIETLY visit the recovering people in their rooms. Before we went room to room, they took us into an empty operating room. A doctor described in graphic detail some of the things that go on in the OR. The Dr also decsribed what he does to save the lives of people that get in car wrecks. At this point, a guy passed out that was in the class.

We then visited the people we saw in the photos earlier. It was extremely impactful to me and others in the class. It brought everything home to me in a way that I will never forget. It was clear to me that I had been stupid and that I had to change my driving habits instantly.

I still think about it sometimes.

Drive safe out there.

Completely missed that. Original sentiment still stands, though with less gravity.

Don’t look at them as speeding tickets. They are the cost of driving fast!

You didn't bust it, it's still there.

Keep telling yourself it's not about the $$$.

https://www.tampabay.com/news/public...raps_169925453
"They were named speed traps in 1995 following a AAA investigation that found profit — not safety — was the primary motivation for issuing tickets.
In Waldo, the police department was eventually found to have been issuing speeding tickets based on quotas. The force was disbanded in 2014 and the
Alachua County Sheriff’s Office now handles traffic enforcement."

And closer to home, after seeing my local police all driving in all their new police cruisers from the new red light camera ticket revenue they got, they got a wake up call.
The red light cameras were deemed a nuisance and a for profit system and they were taken down ( I was a part of that thank you very much). Now for some odd reason we seem
to be seeing more side of the road tax collectors looking for that cash from speeders now that they lost all that red light $$$. What a coincidence. Sorry but it's not a secret
any more that police use tickets (especially easy to give ones like speeding) as a source of income for their dirty pockets.
