They got me …. and I can't even be mad (speeding ticket).

Normally my radar detector gives me fair warning of an up coming authoritative figure. I've been pushing my luck lately too, doing a solid 80-85 all of the time. But today when I rounded a corner I saw the officer raise his radar gun and off the detector went. He worked for it, I was speeding, and because he was nice (only 5 over) I won't get any points.

Just gotta suck it and pay the 90 bucks.

Going to finish the day off with a drink and the daily show.

Night Oppo.

The officer who pulled you over was not pleased.

Time for a lidar/radar counter measures upgrade. Don't cheap out, $8k should get you a nice set up.

I know, I'm a disappointment.

Time to start setting the cruise control at 79 and be a better person :/

How is sitting in a car and waiting till you see someone "working for it"? Because it;s marginally harder than leaving it on auto read?

Well he was actually standing outside of his car but yea. I haven't seen a cop put that much effort in …. well I can't remember actually.

Y u on the Medes? I'm surprised as well that I haven't been caught.

did 140 on the freeway Saturday. After the car show. Was epic. The ST is slightly tail happy when going 80+ and sport mode on. In a straight line. Just imagine a blue focus passing everything in the fast lane at a very unreSonable speed :P

Nah, I got ticketed for 75 in a 70, when I was actually doing 82. Not sure why they include that too since its only for 5 over, but I'm sure there is a reason.

Lol, most of the time I don't see any cops, but I've been commuting to Ann Arbor for a internship this semester so I'm on the road a lot more.

But damn, whats the top speed on the ST? Limited to 155?

(ps I'm not on meds, just said that to sympathize)

maybe the ticket is 75 in a 70, where the actual reading was 82, the cop rounds it down to take into account speedo inaccuracies. 82mph is 18% over 70mph.

All 3 tickets I've gotten in 10 years have been written similarly. Though I live in a different country so who knows.

And illegal in most states that could get your car impounded apparently.

Awes :( no med pals.

Limit is 155(getting SO CLOSE!!!)

I just remember where they lurk in mine ares. :)

The freeway is open season hunting for me!

I got an 83 in a 65 written as 10 over (Mass state trooper tickets start at 10+ over for a minimum $100, had it been listed as full speed, would've been $180)

75 highway speed limit???

Jeez and I thought it was hard* enough to merge into 65 highways around here (NY).

*Perhaps hard isn't the best word but some people do like to make it difficult for you and I'm a grandma driver since I'm driving my parent's spare beigemobile till I find another car of my own

Twelve over round these parts is hardly worth a cops time.

I know that feel, where I'm from is actually the end of the expressway & I've never seen a cop during the last/first half hour of a trip. You can bet on me exploiting that.

I guess around here I'll just stick to speeding in Detroit.

Sometimes cops aren't complete dicks.

Milky > Orange Exige 04/24/2014 at 07:52

Nah, the speed limit was 70 and he wrote me up for only doing 75.

Its not written in the most logical way on the ticket.

Michigan has a thing with ten over. I could 79 right past every cop in the state, but as soon as they see 10+ the lights go on.

Orange Exige > Milky 04/24/2014 at 10:34

Yeah that's written really oddly. It seems like the speed limit was 75 or 70 and you were going 82 mph... so what is that 82 mph mean then?

Milky > Orange Exige 04/24/2014 at 13:06

Just means how fast I was actually going, but has nothing to do with the ticket amount. Kind of weird they include that too, since I'm only getting fined for doing 75 in a 70.
