Fastest You've Been Clocked??

[ianiac]

Ok so tonight I got pulled over for the first time ever. Was 11:56pm. Offence was 60mph in a 45mph zone. Luckily I got away with a warning. (and nothing was said about my illegal tints.. even better)

But this got me wondering what's the fastest you've ever been clocked at, or ticketed at??

[platinum325]

no ticket....i got a court date.
110kmh zone, caught at 218kmh...... ouch

[ianiac]

Ouch is right!! almost double the speed.. Whens the court date?? Any idea whats going to happen??

[platinum325]

it's long done with. that was a few years ago. my record was spotless until that moment so the judge just gave my a $500.00 fine and 6 demerits instead of taking my license away. That learned me up real quick......:)

[Pirate_copy]

You were doing 135mph and kept your licence????????

I have never been clocked on the road, but was clocked doing 148mph when on the track...does that count?

[DominguesE30]

havent been clocked yet, touch wood

[SeeYal]

80 mph in a 50 mph,... state trooper on top of all. Thank God, my baby was sick, screaming bloody murder in his car seat -( that is why I was rusking from the doctor office to my wife- she went to the pharmacy and got some medication for the pain )
I told him I did not have time to wait, told him he had my plate and to send me the ticket in the mail...!!!
I would still be in jail, had I not had my baby with me.

By the way, it came in the mail.

Pleaded no contest, paid $120 fine and with the rigth connections ( my best friend is a DA), got it out of my record...

Will not do it again, though... all my kids are grown up!!! and no one is to ever tell them what daddy did... LOL!!

When I was a reckless 16 year old with a month-old driver's license I was clocked at 114 in a 45 on a long straight stretch oh US Highway 80 on the way out to Tybee Island at about 3a.m one night. The cop let me go becuase I worked at a restaurant that fed Tybee police for free, and I happened to be wearing my wok shirt.

[mullman]

83/55 on the way to my wedding 9 yrs ago. Before my BOS-ZUR flight (starting honeymoon) I dropped the fine in the mail and never heard from it again.

67/45 recently ;) First ticket in 3 yrs so I was able to keep it off my insurance.

Disgusting...

[Jim Spence]

Strange but true:

I was clocked going 124 mph on the interstate seven years ago in my Eclipse. I was on the way to the scene of an assault on my wive. She had been knifed in a parking lot, and called me before calling the police or an ambulance.

When the cop pulled me over I jumped out, told him what had happened and let him know that he could either lead me there or chase me down, but I had to go. I jumped back in my car and took off, he passed me with his blues on, and I followed him all the way to the scene, running red traffic lights all the way.

After my wife had been stabilized and they'd taken their reports, the same cop took me aside and told me that I should have called them when I left the house to give them warning.

[Pirate_copy]

When my sister went into labour, i was with mum about 70 miles from home so had to get here there ASAP

May have edged over 70mph once or twice but wasn't clocked...

[PhilipWOT]

Disgusting...

Please excuse me, now that I'm older and wiser I wouldn't dream of testing my luck like that. That was 7 years ago when I was young, stupid, and truly beleived I was invincible.

Similar situation happened to me a 2 years ago in my POS Mercury Tracer. I was at work, received a call from my Mother that my then 4 year old child had taken some of her medication. (Mom has Viral neuropathy and takes about 30+ pills a day to manage it) Mom said she was on her way to the ER nearby the house and that is 33 miles from work. I rushed from work, (5 minute walk from car) and hopped in the car. About 1 mile on Rt.9 A state trooper pulled me over. I did the same as you. Told him what was happening and said you can chase me down or get in front to clear the way but I have no time to waste here waiting for a ticket. I immediately started the car up and pulled out into traffic. I can't say how fast I was going cause the speedo stopped at 85 but I do know the car would not go any faster than I was going. I made it to the hospital in 18 minutes. the officer did pass me with his siren and lights on, and stayed in front of me the whole way. He even came in to the hospital to make sure I was telling the truth. The officer told me to call ahead first next time, wished my child well, and left. No ticket, no warning. When I came out from the ER with my daughter and went to my car to go home, I found a rather large puddle of coolant under the car. I popped the hood and found a very large, and very noticeable crack in the head from the sustained high speed. needless to say the car was traded in the next day.

[efanton]

never been clocked or caught doing more than 10mph above speed limit while driving.:angel:

I was clocked once doing 97mph on my ar5e on the Mondello race track. Paddy Burke the driver of our side car straighted the sidecar outfit up to quickly coming out of the last fast bend. There is a radar trap about 30 metres after this bend so I hate to think of what speed we were doing when he dumped his pillion.

That cost way more than any traffic ticket. Full set of racing leathers, dislocated shoulder, two broken fingers and bruising so bad I could sit down for a week:rofl:

[Vornado]

I was once clocked at 24mph thanks to the BJ fun package

[B/\/\W]

Never been caught, but the maximum I've done is 50 in a 20 (with speedhumps), and 90 in a 50. It's rare I do anything like that, apart from the motorway, I generally keep within 10%+2 mph of the speed limit.

[HW]

no ticket....i got a court date.
110kmh zone, caught at 218kmh...... ouch

:eek: you're lucky you're not in ontario. new law is +50klics and you get your license suspended, car seized, and 10K fine! :eek: :mad:

[PhilipWOT]

I was once clocked at 24mph thanks to the BJ fun package

I hear the BJ Fun Package is JuiceBox's main competition.

[kyfdx]

Of course, that was at Kentucky Speedway...


77 in a 55 was my worst ticket...

No, the BJ Fun Package results in a JuiceBox.

[buster318is]

The war in Iraq had been over for a few days and we were still stationed at Shaibah airfield.
I was a tank mechanic at the time and we had to move them from one end of the field to the other
There wa no brass around cos they were all kissing arse somewhere near the back so we spent the day ragging AS90s up and down the airfield
We got one up to around 50mph
Bear in mind, they are about 60 tons!

As far as back in the real world, I got a ticket for doing 55mph in a lorry a few years bak.
It wa a single lane carriage way and i wa driving a HGV and the limit is 40mph for lorries.

I don't really speed too badly, seen too many RTAs for my liking!! :(

[PhilipWOT]

Whats a lorry? And HGV and AS90?

[buster318is]

Lorry is what you'd call a truck
HGV is a heavy good vehicle - generally 10 tons+
And an AS90 is a self propelled gun (a tank with a big barrel on it!!) used by the British Army

http://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/aad/aad_as90.htm

[PhilipWOT]

Cool. You guys have special lanes reserved for trucks?

[buster318is]

Not really

The law does state that a lorry can't be in the third lane on a motorway and we sometimes get 'crawler' lanes for when there is a incline but this is just generally when one road turns into a two lane road when going up a hill.

We don't as much land as u guys........ lol

[eclipse]

don't think this counts but on a track day in a modded evo 5 @ 175.3mph :)

[buster318is]

That wa actually the american army but I get your point!!

The British Army are a lot less 'in your face' than the american army and we would have have been crucified if we caught driving a tank like that, hence why we waited for the brass to dissapear before we messed about

When I wa there, there was a lot less cars and a lot more gunfire 2!!! lol

[SeeYal]

148 mph... (on speeedometer,...) see how high my black beast could go,...

[efanton]

Mondello rules!

Without doubt the best track for sidecars except for Brno in europe. It has at least 3 places on the course where you can overtake but your timing must be perfect.

They have also extended it a couple of years ago so that it is now capable of holding FIA races.

Pirate, I've told you before - DON'T VIDEO YOURSELF DRIVING TO WORK. You know you will get done for using your phone camera by the police if they catch you :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[ianiac]

So I got pulled over again today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 times in twelve hours.. I don/t get it, I had never been pulled over in my life untill yesterday!!

This time it was for illegal tints and no front plate. Got a 10 day compliance ticket for the plates. I'm so pissed..

Apparently he says the illegal tints make my car extreemly noticable and are going to continue to get my attention from police.. GREAT!! ehh..

[325ic a beer]

I was officially clocked at 152 on a Kawasaki 900 Ninja punched out to an 1130cc rice rocket in Waukesha Wisconsin on Hwy 16 going westbound. Gulp.

I got pulled over on Saturday night for 'taking a corner a little too fast'

It wa complete crap - he told me the real reason half way into the conversation;

'Young face, powerful car!'

You will have the same problem.......

[Pirate_copy]

I have had that

I was going a long a 50mph road with 5 roundabouts in it.....so i took them at 50mph and got stopped. The copper complimented my driving and control but asked me to cool it down a bit :rofl:

[bobbobb]

184 mph on a R1 and yes you can get caught over 172 which is what top gear said cameras cant get you over as you are to fast but mine was a hand held one and they can follow you.

Yes i did get banned but only for 13 weeks but that was some years ago now

[Pirate_copy]

That was a fixed gatso mate, and you dont get done as you pass the white lines too fast :D

How the hell did you only get banned for 13 weeks???

[bobbobb]

yes but the hand held got me, anyway dont have bikes anymore as had a very bad accident and have grown up a bit since then wife daughter and several horses dogs etc.

m8 bought the bike off me and has a video of him doing very close to 200mph bit hard to see the clock as its shaking to much.

never mind love my 1998 diesel these days i'm now into class and not speed

[Pirate_copy]

We all do VERY silly things when we are young

Hope the accident wasn't too bad buddy

[bobbobb]

very bad, broken legs one needed pinned and stapled several times, shattered knee, broken shoulder,colar bone, wrist, only one broken ankle lots and lots of bad bruising etc

never mind not to bad now gets a bit painful when its get really cold and cant fully bend one leg but could have been worse i could have mashed my brain and ended up buying a ford or vauxhall.

[Pirate_copy]

true dat mate :)

[Deviantx]

Does a crotch rocket count? If it does then about 3 years ago I got busted goin 180 in a 55 on I-4 with a Suzuki Busa. Needless to say I lost my license for a yea and got my rocket taken away:cry:

[SeeYal]

So you were not clocked then???

nope, that why the title on my post was "what about fast and not having been clocked"
Open highway, late at night with no speck of alcohol. Still do not know how fast it would have gone...

[whosyadadie01]

the worst i ever go clocked at was 94 in a 70 on the interstate but the fastest i ever was goin a few years back was 140 in a 45 ... hate to see what would of happened if i had gotten caught

[Pirate_copy]

[efanton]

Its not often I feel the need for speed but the German Autobahns are only 2.5 hours away.

The sad this is now alot of the autobahns are no longer unrestricted speed limit.

In the czech republic you dare not go even 10kph over the limit. The police here are absolutely adicted to giving out tickets. I forgot to carry my driving license at the weekend (left it in my jacket at home) while taking a friend to the airport. Told the police officer that if he gave me 5 minutes I would go home and get it or produce it at a police station. He was very polite (usual when they are being arseholes) and told me that I must pay the penalty. Thankfully the new EU law prevents them from collecting on the spot. I'm absolutely certain half of the penalty fines went in their back pockets. 15 euros now is minimum.

[Pirate_copy]

Man, i wish i was that close to the autobhans!!!

Like you said, most of it is restricted now. i believe only 35% is unrestricted :(

[Dave Hybrid]

145 in my old RSTurbo on the M1.

I was banned for a long time. :(

[Pirate_copy]

Ouch....

[Muffcaptain]

Bleh... 96 in a 70mph zone... about -$390 ticket... :mad: and my clutch went out about a week after that... -$750 more... :mad: that was a ****ty month... i also got a ticket for my tint when i got pulled over... :mad: then 3 weeks after that i got a ticket for taking the muffler off my car for about -$170... :mad: so i put glass packs on it... -$250 yea... :mad: pretty ****ty month. :rofl:

[E36youngster]

i don't get clocked....i have radar :)

[ianiac]

Yeah.. And I'm about to.. Borrowed my friends today.. not bad..

But why does it go off every time I pass a bank!?!? X band..

[E36youngster]

cuz of the alarm system taht the bank is using. radars aren't just for cops..they pick out alarms and other signals like firetrucks and ambulances. well, sometimes...if its a good enough radar it will. but yeah, i get the x-band all the time

[cwsqbm]

But this got me wondering what's the fastest you've ever been clocked at, or ticketed at??
Clocked? 140 in a 55 (back before the 55mph national speed limit was repealed). It was night and I was the only car on the road. The cop turned his lights on, but turned them back off and never pulled out.
Ticketed? 82 in a 55 (little more than a year ago - traffic was doing 75, so its not like it was extreme). Got off with a fine and online driving school that ate up three hours of my B'fest time. I have my car's OBC set to beep so I don't exceed 85 (were the big fines start around here) without noticing it.

[ProRail]

Yeah, I've seen how you guys drive over there. Must be fun.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yco1deXOzN8

Thanks for this vid. I first saw it about 6 hours ago and can't get it out of my mind. Frankly, if these guys were driving through my country like this I would do ANYTHING to get them out or demolish their damn vehicles. Just a thought.

[ColumbusBMW]

118mph in an 83 RX-7.

[tsg59_steve]

112mph in 95 Eclipse GST on my way to California from Illinois. Cop brought it down to 80 so he wouldn't have to take me to jail. Nice guy.

[squr3l]

umm never pulled over for speeding... yet at least
soon after i got my 325 i topped it at the 128ish mark one late night on a 65 mph freeway
i am pretty good at spotting cops lol and i always seem to be lucky with timing

[RichE36]

Never been caught, but the maximum I've done is 50 in a 20 (with speedhumps).

WOW 50 over the speed humps! suspension still ok?

caught doing 36mph in 30 zone TWICE! :rolleyes:

[Huezo]

I was clocked doing 200km/h in a 50km/h and got a thumbs-up from the cop.

Another time I was clocked at 175km/h in a 50km/h and they set up a roadblock. I only got a warning.

On the highway I passed a highway cop ("Policia Federal de Caminos") at 260km/h and he didn't bother to turn his lights on or chase me down. (I didn't think cops had Dodge Chargers). I was stopped further down the road by another cop who just wanted to take a look at the cars and had some questions about the performance.

They don't give me tickets for that yet I keep getting silly tickets like 70km/h in a 60km/h.

Oh. Yeah. Forgot about that. Damn.. we should all get radar. Then the cops could never clock us, right? Not even if we're already speeding and they turn it on right as we fly by. Infinite protection! Why didn't I think of that?? :slap:

Does bikes count? Well I was coming down on 84 east, going home from a bike night end it started to sprinkle little bit so I roll on the throttle little to hard and the cop told me He clock me at 137! He was not a happy camper! He was pissed off. he gave me a ticket for $475 and talked me the reason he wont throw me in jell cuz he was of duty lucky me. I guess I passed him so he just creaped behind till I got of the exit and when he got my plate he turned his light on. He askd what was the reason for going that fast I tolled him I was trying to get home before it rained and he asked me AT 137MPH and I said mmmmm Yes. Then i got in trouble few more times and almost end up in jell for over a year doing wheelies. It is not worth it. I just do it at night when no one is around or in the parking lot in a control area. :loco: But I did on my 07 1000 187MPH that when the speedo stop And and I had one more gear to go! :angel: BUt in my 325 I had it up to 120 and I layed of off it! Still learning the car !

I thought their top speed was 180..

Not a crotch rocket fan anyway :)

[TheOnlyE36]

The speedo iis always off by little. i really haven't check on my K7. but on my 05 600 it was off by 9 miles I was reading 176 and the bike really did 167. I think that the new litter bikes will do 180 to 200MPH My friends busa did 207MPH with a computer work and some bolt ons. But the speedo will stop at 187

[Pirate_copy]

I drove a go-kart with a 'busa engine in it once.....

[TheOnlyE36]

I can't wait to see the new busa that bike is all new for the 08 and it will kill the zx14. can't wait to ride one. You guys are pretty big on bikes over there in UK. You can buy your motorcycle magazines over here from UK. But they are like ten to twenty buks a magazine. But I think it's worth it because they tell you the truth about the bikes. Over here I personaley think that they pick sides! But that's my opinion and everyone has one!
