VX moment at high speed

[Gussie2000]

Why am I the only one that gets a "speed contesting on a public highway" ticket, "reckless driving" ticket, and free pair of silver bracelets when I do this?

Let them be morons. Don't prove anything to them. Trust me, it isn't worth the court fees, lawyer, traffic school, and overnight room and board in jail.

I agreed 100% with you,i don't really drive like that though,as a security supervisor i got to keep my background records clean as possible;Plus i'm very friendly driver,but some times i guess the adrenaline takes control,yeah i know,that's not a excuse at all,sorry !

I am not talking about "speeding". I am talking about "speed contesting".... racing. Again, I learned my lesson. I got my license and insurance hammered, as well as my wallet. And those bologna and mustard sammiches in county don't exactly fill you up.

I am not lecturing anyone. I just like to remind everyone that, I have been down that road, and the consequences SUCK. Do what you will, hell, operating a speeding vehicle is a hell of a rush, I will 110% agree. Just in my past experience, I learned to keep it on the track, heh.

Cops here won't bother you if you aren't bringing attention upon yourself. On a good traffic day, the average speed on rt270 (main highway leading to the Capital Beltway) is 75-80. In my 12 years of commuting on it daily, police do not interfere with this. It's when the one clown who is too good for that speed decides he is gonna weave through traffic that is already well exceeding the limit that they take action.

Ya, there is the window tint and exhaust thing, but again, they only mess with you if you are looking for attention. I know far to many guys with limo tint and crazy TurboXS exhausts and they don't have issues either. We save the craziness for autoX. There are MANY clowns here who take that to a level that is just ludicrous. Tint that you swear is simplu just painted black from the inside and exhausts that easily spill out 110db. I state of MD has admitted that they realize that most aftermarket exhausts are actually cleaner than factory, and the real issue is the noise ordinance. Top all that off with the douche bags here that gut their downpipes and run catless. THAT is where MD starts putting the hammer down on EVERYONE. There are few to blame but they get theirs come emissions time, which is pretty damned indepth now. They easily put mirrors under your car now if they catch even a hint of an aftermarket exhaust on your vehicle. I am fine with that. If you are catless, you fail.

I am not defending our policing and emissions system here, but it is what it is. It is fairly strict, but not as much as many other states, especially your neighbor MASS. Take a gander at some of their road laws.

Anyways, I am not trying to hijack this thread with some "morale of the stories" crap. I just figure, knowledge is power, and the more everyone knows, the better.

There’s an easy way to get that rush without breaking any laws here in SLC. When you head east on I80 up into the mountains there’s a lot of really steep inclines. There’s nothing funnier then getting in to a climbing contest with one of your buddies. I never lose.

You are right,i mean speed contest & street racing aren't allowed any where,isn't good at all get involve in any circunstancies where you got to deal with the law.

What really encourage me was the facts that the guys had three addional lanes to pass by,but wanna have fun with my little looking toy
