Road Trip to Vegas; 90MPH Speeding Ticket..
Well, this past weekend, had a small roadtrip from Sacramento,CA to Las Vegas,NV as a buddy of mine that lives down there turned the big 21.
Got some great photoshoots of the car in down there (will post in a seperate thread!), but on the way up there got pulled over for speeding in Barstow! It was like 130am, going about 85-90mph in a 70mph zone, went around a bend up a hill, and on the other side parked was CHP, tried to slow down, but no luck!  Passed the CHP vehicle going about 75mph. I pulled over since the CHP was blaring their lights, the officer comes up to the window, asks me how fast I think I was going, I say, "Well, I passed you at or around about 75mph." He replies, "We got you on radar at 90mph." I respond with, "Interesting."He fills out the paper work, gives me to sign, I tell him to wait a minute while I overlook the paperwork (I spend a total of 5 minutes reviewing the document), then ask him for the pen and before I sign it, I remark loudly "God damn't. In order to fight this, I have to drive all the way out here to Barstow?!" My brother-in-law and the two officers chuckle a little. Sign the paperwork, he hands me my copy, then says, "Have a good night, by the way, really love the car! Much better than those Mustangs I see everyday." LOL

He clocked you at 90 because he was using radar, which gets you before you pass him, if he was using laser, then youd be A-OK

An Escort Passport could have saved you some money.

only 90 mph? man, I refuse to let loose, because I can go from 40-140 in about 5 seconds or so (I think, don't know from personal experience).

However, there were other cars in the fast lane (I was actually in the slow lane), and a car or two behind me, so maybe I'll try some bullshit excuse and go the trial by written declaration to contest it. No hurt in trying lol. Quote:

Sad times, but speeding is speeding. Nice comment by the officer though.

That's one of the funniest things I've read. Laser would have nailed him too, you just park and shoot, if you know how, people don't see you till you've already got the speed.
