**** bro, sorry to hear about that.

Luckily that's all he got you for, when they pull you over they look for all sort of things to add on.

You have to really try to get a ticket here in California the limit is 65mph and everyone is doing 75mph except when we're all doing 5mph on the freeway during the rush.

Sounds like 95 on the way to DC from Richmond, I think people confuse the route number with the speed limit (not that I'm complaining mind you)

Here's an oddity in Va at least. When they changed the reckless driving law to hide the infamous civil remedial fee, anything 80 mph and above is considered reckless driving and in some parts of the state that only leaves you a 10 mph comfort zone before you go from speeding to wreckless.

It's reckless, not wreckless. Wreckless means, literally, without wrecks. Which is generally not the case when reckless driving is involved.

Anyway, speeding tickets suck, but they are part of the game with these cars. It's more of a "when", not an "if".

I haven't gotten any with mine yet (knock on wood), and it's been 6 months now.

I have a 2011 Chevy Impala as a company car. I have 2 speeding tickets in that in less than a month. Previous to that was a ticket in my Ford Flex. So far..... no tickets in the Mustangs
