Fast enough for a fifteen day suspension and a $600 ticket after hiring a very expensive lawyer.

4 digits? inquiring minds want to know.

I pleaded to 89 MPH, so I wouldn’t know what you’re talking about. I have heard that a Jaguar handles amazingly and very civilized in the triple digits, but I would know nothing about this, because I’ve only sped once, and it was at 89 MPH.

The girl’s face has the correct reaction.
And +shame on you+ for speeding!
(snickers at the slap on the wrist—been there, paid the fine, more than once. . .)

I spent minutes—LITERALLY MINUTES—agonizing over whether I should just use that little girl’s smile without the others.

So most of my experiences were with (Hanging) Judge Romero and the early visits mostly went like this:
R: “So the officer says that she clocked you at 87 miles per hour. How do you plead?”
Me: “Your honor, I was just .”
R: “So you were actually speeding. . .”
Me: “Yes, your honor, bu...”
HJR: “Guilty. How will you pay? See the bailiff over there if you need to make payments. Next.”
//Sometimes you just gotta take it standing up. And +don't laugh+, or you'll get Contempt Of Court on top of speeding. . .//

I believe you are safe to say what speed you were doing as you have been to court over the speeding violation, been tried, and convicted. This means if they were to try you again for that same speeding violation it would be double jeopardy. A different speed wouldn’t change the fact that you were already tried on that citation.* I’m not saying it would be wise to share the actual number, but I’m fairly sure you couldn’t be taken to court over it.

*I’m not a lawyer.

welcome to the triple digit club

I, of course, am not a member. We also did not initiate my wife into the double the limit club earlier this year.
