The minute you guys have posted it, the next day can be the dreadful day when you may end up getting a ticket. I was slapped with a $175 for doing 67 on a 55mph highway in Wisconsin (the worst state in US for having the most notorious cops and state troopers who will jump out of a green thick forest and bushes on the road to catch you).
He was really upfront and even congratulated me saying, oh its your lucky day as this is our lowest start-up pricing ticket for over-speeding ==> son of a ____! |

I am not sure what country you are driving your ///M5 in at? Because here in US, getting caught over 100mph (especially i guess in PA) = locked up in jail for 1 night minimum is the penalty to start with !

Well we all know that it is all about money from tickets as income more than anything else! ! Back to the days when this type of speed limit was reinforced because if gas like in the 60's if I am correct and since then no change and actually even worse!! They ticket you for exhauste, for pulling hard !! For going 10 above arbitrary speed limit! Am I against it? Probably not because otherwise people will be racing all day long and accidents will skyrocket!! But is this true when it come to accidents in countries less strict on speed limits!! Like Germany and Autobahn? Not sure, but doubt it!! It can be paradoxical relationship! ! Like accents could actually be same or even less!! |

I know several people who have been ticketed at triple digit speeds and not arrested.

well a cop is gonna be more lenient about 115 in a 70 which would be a highway v.s. 70 in a 35 which will be a neighborhood.

if you believe you are caught by a mobile speed gun (speed gun on a biker rozzer), do you know if they take a picture with the recorded speed or just rely on a copper being further down the road to pull you over?
