BadTrainDriver Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 My 125MPH ticket in Tennessee about ten years ago was just a little over $100, thankfully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 This type of thing is exactly why I never exceed 70 in the straits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 edit: Oregon thinks they can suspend his Washington license? Can they do that?Probably bad wording.They have reciprocity I am sure. So the ticket is severe enough that Washington could spend him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Guess he shouldn't have stopped May have been cheaper......if they can't clock your speed but cite you for eluding, probably have been less that $700 Edited May 7, 2013 by Hellmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Is it that hard to stay under 100mph?I wish we had variable speed limits... There is no reason to go 60mph when the road is completely straight, and completely empty. If there's a lot of traffic, sure, 60 makes sense, but the same road can be navigated safely at drastically varying speeds, depending on time of day, weather, traffic, and the vehicle being used. It doesn't make sense to me to pigeon-hole a given stretch of highway with a single speed limit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 He lives in the "wealthy Lake Washington enclave of Medina" and just bought a brand new $20K motorcycle. He probably doesn't care about the $1103 dollars for the ticket and will probably lawyer up and not lose his license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheech Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 He lives in the "wealthy Lake Washington enclave of Medina" and just bought a brand new $20K motorcycle. He probably doesn't care about the $1103 dollars for the ticket and will probably lawyer up and not lose his license.Bingo. He theoretically "could" lose his license, just as you theoretically "could spend some time in jail and a $1000 fine for riding outside your moto temps or without an endorsement. It *almost* never happens, but that's what's on the books.Now, this guy's primary error (at least according to the article) was that he admitted wrongdoing to the cop, and explained that "bought a new go-fast bike, durrr" was the reason for his speed. You're getting a ticket for 130MPH, you're not getting a warning. Clam the fuck up, refuse to answer any questions, take your ticket and prepare to mount whatever defense you can/want afterwards.

Freezing happens so infrequently that they don't plow, and the pavement is ridiculously coarse. I'd hate to see how fast a tire gets chewed up on that pavement, and even more afraid to see what happens if you take a spill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
