Just Got Pulled over by the Cops going 100

[DJStrawberry]

So I bought a car last night, a 2004 lexus IS 300 black on black and was out on an open stretch of freeway today and was testing its capabilities. I hit 100 as I blew past a motorcycle cop. He wrote me up for going 100 and I was cited under California traffic law 22349 A. I have a clean driving record and am pretty sure I'm not totally fvcked because I avoided the in excess of 100 ticket under section 22348 B. I am pretty sure I only will get a fine and will be able to do traffic school to clear my record. Has anyone had an experience like mine?

100 = 160 km/hr in our land.
Our fastest roads are 110km/hr....

Just a consideration.

 

[~attrACTION~]

Last week I did 145mph on an open stretch. I have a radar detector though, and I suggest you get one before attempting to break the speed limit like that. Technically my car can only go up to 155mph because of of the chip that blocks it from going faster. It was pretty sweet though.

I've had my '91 CRX over 160.

But I got pulled over in my '86 CRX for "100+".

I rolled on it while coming up an on ramp to squirt ahead of a nasty pack of cars.

Uh... turns out a car left the pack in a major hurry.

Highwayman stands up in court and says: "Your honor, I was doing 100 MPH and he was rapidly pulling away."

The judge says: "It's people like you on the road that will kill me."

I said: *cuts off judge* "No, your honor, it's people like me that don't cause traffic jams: I merge with the gas, not the brake. I didn't want to stuff my car in that rat's nest of cars the State Patrol car was holding up. Is anyone hurt? Did I impede traffic? No. No harm, no foul. I was pulled over for 'effectively merging'. There's no posted speed limit on an on ramp..."

Judge: :angry: *cuts me off* "$469, 6 points; NEXT."

Whatever. :moon:

"Son, do you know how fast you were going back there?"

"Uh, maybe 85 miles an hour?"

"I clocked you at over 115 miles per hour"

*cop searches car*

"Well, I'm gonna let you off with a warning this time"

Utah State Patrol is nice. :flowers:

 

[ValleyDJing]

haha! Better you guys than me! I'm a regular triple digit visitor. I've never been pulled over or caused an accident *knock on wood*. I would be totally f.ucked if I ever did though.

Hilarious story...

I was driving in heavy traffic the other day and made a quick lane switch and almost caused an accident (key word almost). The dude I cut off happened to be an 80 year old man with his equally old wife. He honks, yeah yeah yeah, my bad I forget about it right?

So I'm sitting at the light with him right behind me but I'm busy scoping this hottie in a drop top mustang sitting next to me lol! Light turns green and before I have the opportunity to do anything, the old geezer lays on his horn. Whoa wtf! Jeez dude, you're ok, get over it! Next stoplight, same situation, same reaction. This goes on for severl stoplights.

Finally I pull up to the next stoplight and now there's a hottie on my right and a hottie right behind me. Old dude and his wife are on my left now getting ready to make a turn and they're both mean mugging me. Ooookkay. Honks at me again! Thats it, I roll down my window, rap blaring, at look him straight in the eyes and stick my middle finger as close as I can to his passenger side window. Look on him and his wife's face was priceless! They actually jumped! lmao! Then what made it funnier is I noticed both the hotties in both cars laughing their sweet little asses off! Old people...

no, you cannot do traffic school

90 mph+ = not just a citation anymore, it becomes something bigger. for example, if you kill someone going 90+ then it's not longer an accident, it's considerred manslaughter

 

[spider_007]

i've had 2 tickets so far.

-first one was going 100km/h in a 60km/h zone....the fine was $340 + 4 points
I payed a lawyer $1200 to reduce it down to a $60 fine and no points. (got raped there)

-second one was for running the stop sign.....$110 + 3 points.
still working on it....chances are i'll get delayed for couple of years, and then taken off the record (if I behave in the mean time)

I will fight avery thicket i ever get......be nice to the cops, cause If your nasty to them, they will make it a point to show up in cort and screw you over......chances are, if he has something better to do, he might not even show up on the court date, and the ticket will be removed.

Yea, that POS lexus (or honda) is computer limited to around 110. Plus you have small girly engine and not very aero dynamic.


Thus, this bragging sh1t does not give you bad boy appeal. Not that you'd try to get it among other men, as if you wanted to get laid. Right? Right? Homo????????


Bragging's for girls and beta males.


I'm mustang has speedo going to 140, it exceeds that to around 152 with 4.10 gears. That's not bragging, that's a fact. Any mustang does that on you. You push a pedal to the medal and next thing you know you're committing a felony.


Now, djSlvt is riding a bicycle. Ever heard that caren degenerate joke about pimps riding on bicycles? It's true now. So, slow the fvck down!

 

[djSlvt]

I've had my '91 CRX over 160.

You were high on nitrous during the preceding as well?


I go almost that fast NA. Plus I don't look like fag on a girly honda civic.

 

[ConantheLibertarian]

I had my dad's '65 Ford F100 going 100+ (speedo needle was bouncing, highest # was 100) down a 2 lane rural highway when I was 13. It takes a little skill to keep that thing straight. I'm just glad he finally upgraded to radial tires . It took him forever to get rid of those bias ply rocks. I've done crazier stuff since, but there's nothing like the first time :rockon:. No tickets as of right now, my stretch of road up through the Foothills in NoCal remains relatively bacon free .

 

[DJStrawberry]

I found out it will be up to the judge whether or not he will grant me the right to attend traffic school because I was exceeding 25 mph over the speed limit and therefore am not traffic school eligible unless appointed by a judge. Does anyone know how much a point effects your insurance? I'm 23 years old with a clean record until now.

Who are you? You sound so ****ing stupid. I'm not here bragging. I have a legitimate situation that I would like some feedback on because I have never been in this situation before. Mustang has speedo going to 140? What the **** are you talking about. My lexus has speedo going to 160 and it doesn't stop at 110. You are a fool.

 

[blackbelt2k]

my mustang speedo only goes to 120, and govenor kicks in at 115 ...but i have a 6... if i want to go fast i hop on my sportsbike

I go almost that fast NA. Plus I don't look like fag on a girly honda civic.

1. at the time, CRX's had the lowest drag coeficient of any production car made. The car is lowered, so, even less drag, especially underneath. (less air under = less drag on underbody components, less "lift" to affect handling)

2. Japanese motor swap, DX tranny, computer reprogram, exhaust/intake work = 150+ hp, 9000 rev limit, TALL gears (over 90 mph in 3rd tall).

3. 2200 lb car. (actually less, I've taken a lot of junk out)

4. No speed shutdown program in computer


No wind drag + light as fux car + long gears + long revs + power to run out gears = over 160.

Puzzies use that nitrous crap. That sh!t's like an inhaler for an asthmatic.

If you pulled up next to me on the highway in your bustang I'd make you feel like a b!tch.

The needle was buried at 125 about 1/2 way through fourth. Run out 4, grab five, and still pulling strong. Traffic made me shut it down, but not before I checked the tach: 6.25. The only way I know how fast I was going was by plugging in gear ratios and the rpms on a website calculator: 163. But I say 160+ because it was still motivating when I had to shut it down.

Scary run, though, because around 150ish the windshield develops this little "flutter" that I can't really put into words. The top corners get a noticible wiggle in/out, alternating between the sides.
:nervous:

Noone want's to believe it, until I make them drive my car.

"Get up here on the freeway." I tell them, and I don't let them look at the speedo while they run out 3rd. They don't doubt me afterwards. One dude grabbed 4 and was bouncing the needle off 125 when I told him...

"Whoa, buddy, way to pin it, there. WEEEEEE!"

He freaked! He had no idea: "WTF! NO WAY! IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE 125 at ALL!"

Plus I don't look like fag on a girly honda civic.

Right, because you look like a fag on a bike. Open mouth, insert foot.

 

[djSlvt]

You didn't plug drag into equation. It tells speed assuming no drag. Unless you're cloacking using GPS or radar, there is no way to know.


I tell you what happened. You got different gears, and different tires. Now your speedo is out of balance, and you getting a trip out of your assumed 160 mph speed.


My stock 3.27 gears would mean car going at 192 in 5th at 6000 rpm. In 5th at 6000 rpm with those gears my actual speed is around 129... Drag... But stick 4.10 in there, and we overcome drag and go fast, limited by the rev limiter.


Tall gears, with your engine, would mean a total crap in traffic. Because you have no torque. Most ricers put short gears for acceleration, and that takes away on the top. You were not going 160. There is no way to go that fast on a civic while NA. Bastards spend thousands of bux to mod that thing to go that fast. Plus I never seen a single civic modified for racing go that fast.


You have a magic CRX. Does it have a build in crack pipe?

Who are you? You sound so ****ing stupid. I'm not here bragging. I have a legitimate situation that I would like some feedback on because I have never been in this situation before.

No need to get defensive, LITTLE B1YOTCH.



You posting to get attention. Attention wh0re. No advice in your situation, you need to serve time.



Some hondas have speedo going to 200 mph, it doesn't mean they go that fast. Your little girly lexus (honda with better looking trim), has it going to 160, limits at 110, and doesn't even pull that fast to 110. 15 second car, get over it. You could have gone that fast on a crappy toyota, and save a buck or two. You don't get a nice loving treatment from me, faker. :yes:

 

[djSlvt]

There is no governor nor computer limiter in manual stang. It's limited by stock gears, which is around 129 mph in 5th. Put 4.10 in there, and it's fast going, and fast accelerating.


A lot of ricers pull up next to us, fore it, and they are gone. That's why with manual car you need to select a proper gear before you can get going with gone. That's usually is not a good idea, because torque will destroy tranny if done improperly. Thus ricers get a trip out of pulling away from mustang on a highway, which wasn't even racing them.


Every ass hole wants to race against mustang. It's like an ego measurement scale. If I can beat that parked mustang, my cheap car is freaking fast dude!!!


Put that ricer into a situation where mustang is ready on the highway, or from the dig, and they cry.
