172 in a 55
Racing down Westheimer in Houston out past hwy 6 heading towards Katy.
I got on it just past the mall racing another mustang and we passed a cop at the gas station, I saw his lights come on but we were already over 140 so figured there was no chance. The other car pulled off and hit the neighborhood while I kept my foot in it knowing the road pretty well. I was pulling RPM slowly in 5th and the car was starting to make noises haha. I could see a good distance ahead and saw the red and blues forming ahead, knowing it was bad I kicked the car into neutral and slowed. I was now facing 3 cop cars and cops with guns drawn (sweat) and waited for a few min till the line of cop cars from behind arrived. I got out my license and held it out of the window, this game them a way to remove me from the car. I lay there on the ground in cuffs and look over to see a bunch of cars going by, the 200 or so cars that were parked where we met on Fri and Sat nights rolled by and cheered. I went to jail for 3 days, charged with Felony reckless driving, felony evading, endangering a minor (passenger was 17) speeding, illegal lane change, ect. It was the highest recorded ticket in Texas at the time and made a few papers.

675.00 doing 245km/h in a 90km/h zone try to catch a ferry going from Victoria back to vancouver. apparently i hold the record for the highest ticket on that road according to the cop lol. Also because im a BC resident, and 2 weeks prior i got 2 other excessive speeding tickets, i ended up getting about 2200.00 in points i had to pay off, and i lost my license for 3 months... Epic Fail!!! Keep in mind i was on my CBR not in my car.

I have a long story so bare with me. About six months ago on a Sunday evening I was driving from my parents place to my apartement. For whatever reason i was in not a good mood, had been a helluva week and so on. So I pull into the gas station and this homeless guy walks up to me and asks whether I have any empty bottles in my car that he could have and turn into cash at the nearby recycling place. Unfortunately I didnt, neither did I have any cash, but I felt so bad for the guy that I went to the atm and took out 100EEK which is about 10USD and gave it to him. So as I pull out of the gas station an unmarked police car pulls me over, checks my docs and it turns out I am a few months over my cars inspection. So I follow the cop to the car and this is how the conversation went:
cop: why havent u done ur inspection
me: you want an honest answer
cop: yes
me: I forgot
cop: honesty means something too. Usual fine for not having inspection done is 200USD, but since u were honest I ll let you go for a 100, how does that sound?
me: 50% off, I ll take that deal
cop 2 on the passenger seat: Whaat....ur golf has 177kw, why didnt u just floor it and ditch us?
me: i am pretty dumbfounded at this point and all i could say was " well u would have called all your friends and busted my *** anyway"
cop 2: they would have never made it on time, you would have been home by now
cop : hands me the papers to sign and write my personal statement.
I write a line saying that I had missed the deadline and that I am sorry and hand the paperwork back to the cop. He looks at it hands it back to me and says...."every line you write is 10USD off, try to sound sorry". So I scribble about 7 lines and hand it back to the cop. While he is doing his final things I asked them why they pulled me over?
Cop 2: You didnt see us, but we were at the gas station and we saw you argueing with the homeless guy.
Me: I didnt argue with him I gave the guy money
Cop: how much?
Me: 10 usd
Cop: ok...thats another ten off your fine
The cops hand me back the papers with a total fine of like 20 dollars and wished me good luck. I went to my car, sat for about 5 minutes and could not believe what the f*** had just happened

Yeah, I laughed pretty hard when this episode of "Hidden Camera" with you and those two fake cops in it was on TV the other night! ;-)

so i was driving from calagry to vancouver in an e39 m5, not mine but a very good friends who had flown back for work so i got to take the car and one of his friends back. just as we were going threw hope (yes i know i should have slowed down because anyone who knows that road knows that there will be an rcmp officer in the median waiting for you) going 140km limit is 110 and get lit up. the officer was standing in the median on the left side of the road me in the fast lane. he jumps out in traffic infront of me and points to his side of the road. a few choice words later i get the car stopped. my buddies friend who had be fairly quiet the entier trip piped up and said just take the ticket and give him a minute. i didnt understand what he meant but i see tickets as a tax on speeding so thats usualy my plan. the office was a *****...24 year old in an m5 that wasnt mine in the rain going 140=i hate you. so got the ticket for 26 over $198 or something then buddy in the passenger seat asks for the officers identification. he then gets out and goes to the trunk to get his ticket pad.....turns out he is a WCB inspector with the power to ticket people for unsafe work behavior. my ticket was 198 the 4 he wrote the cop were just shy of 700...no hi visibility vest, entering the path of traffic unsafely and 2 others. i honeslty took 5 minutes to compose myself before continuing on home. the conversation got a lot better for the next 2 hours home.
