I was doing 101 in a 70. I was lucky that the trooper was a gun guy and I had some cool stuff in the car with me, he left me off with a warning. In my defense is was a beautiful day today, 86 degrees sunny with a bright blue sky so I had the top down and was not paying attention to my speed (although my normal speed on the turnpike is 90). Trooper (name deleted) you are a member here and see this, thank you and have a merry Christmas, I will donate what the ticket would have been to the NRA-ILA.

Come on man, this is the "gunshine" state, the guns were right next to me (at least some of them). Also our interstates are so flat and straight that really is a safe speed. |

I must say, since moving here I would say they are fairly lax in the speed limit department. Gone by a couple of troopers doing 85+ thinking I was getting clipped for sure... nothing. I think there is pending legislation to increase the speed limit here to 75, which I think makes sense. It's flat, straight, and the weather is nearly always sunny and nice here.

View Quote The trooper I dealt with said today was a "century day" meaning they were only stopping people doing over 100. He said most troopers will not stop people until they are into the 90s. I usually set my cruise control to just under 90 and never get stopped and routinely get passed.. |

So you were driving 101mph endangering everyone around you and you are proud of that......pretty fucked up if you ask me....

View Quote Depending on the road, conditions, traffic, and the vehicle; 100 mph is not even remotely dangerous. You think it's perfectly fine for a 1982 Yugo to go 75 on the freeway, but it's OMG DANGER for a 2013 sports car to go 100? |

100 is not a safe speed if every one else is doing 75. You are reckless and should have gotten a reckless driving ticket. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

the nerve of the police enforcing traffic laws View Quote It's hard to feel sorry for someone who is busted speeding. There are signs everywhere and it's a completely preventable stop. Occasionally the speed limit is not clearly marked, but unless you're in Germany, you know you're speeding at 101mph. |

I hope the Troopers's supervisor is not a member here. It strikes me that deleting the troopers name would be a good idea. Done, he was a good guy I couldn't imagine anything here would be reflected negatively on him. Also I would suggest that there are a lot of Troopers with that last name. |

not real smart to put his name on here. The average flow on this portion of the turnpike is about 90. I wasn't the fastest vehicle on the road by far. |

Not unusual at all in open stretches in FL.
Try US 19 between Perry and Chiefland. Ran 90+ back there & had my doors blown off. |

100 on the interstate in the south is an everyday no-big-deal occurrence. 90 is the new 55. I got off with no tickets at 88 and 92 in the last year.
