Your aquaintance broke the law. The speed limit was 65 and he/she was going 105 mph. As for the police letting him go because he knew him, I think that is wrong. All people should be treated equal in the law. What applies to me applies to you. On your other point on how easy it is to go 100 in the stang, yes that is true. But when you go speeding you need to take responsibilty for it and accept the consequences. Also remember that sometimes people speeding kill and injure other drivers that are not speeding. So be carefull out there.

No reason to hit 100 anywhere but a track. Shoulda gone to jail.

Honestly, if the road was really deserted at 4 am, the cops should have just written him a fat ticket. Jail time I think is going to far, whether it's the law or not. He was only a danger to himself on that deserted highway, had there been any sign of traffic jail time would sound reasonable.

Here is the deal: If the cops were there to write him a ticket, then the road WASN'T "totally deserted". Period. Which means he WAS putting other people in danger. He should have went to jail... And yes, everyone SHOULD be treated equally under the law. It will never happen. But it is a good idea!

I got a ticket for 98 in a 35 zone but got it reduced to 49 in a 35 zone. Happened when I was 18, almost forced by parents to sell the 69 Mustang I had at the time because of it. Still have that Mustang but now I am a lot wiser about respecting others and not driving like an idiot on public roads.

People that should go to jail
Cell phone users
women drivers
drunk drivers
People that should be left alone
Responsible speeders (in fact i've AVOIDED accidents by accelerating up to high speeds and getting away from the drunk cell phone type driver.
