Thought you guys might enjoy this. They are listed in order with #1 being the top speed (166 in a 75 if you're curious).

My favorite is #6. Not just the speed but the vehicle itself and the fact that it came in #6 amongst all the muscle cars and rocket bikes.

#6: 150 mph in a 65 mph zone
  • Date: 7/15, 11:23pm
  • Vehicle: 2013 Ford F-150
  • Road: Chisholm Trail Parkway in Tarrant County (32.6571100, -97.416900)
  • Traffic: Light
  • Notes: N/A

That dude crazy. :eek:

Dang, I had no idea trucks could go that fast. A couple of quick searches shows some models of the Ford Raptor, Dodge RAM SRT-10, and Ford SVT Lightning were capable of 140-160 mph :yikes:
 
Do that in Virginia and when they get ya, look forward to eating pavement, having a foot on your back, and a handgun on the back of your head.

Possibly why there is no list of the fastest VA speeding tickets? Over 100 mph the drivers don't survive long enough to be issued one? :smoke:
 
Texas is known for wide open spaces, maybe a buck-forty isn't that fast in some spots ;)
I'm a Virginia driver, have a lot of great cop stories. Good and bad.
The state troopers are the ones who mean business, it's hit or miss with the local departments.
 
Have to keep things in perspective... we're talking about Texas, home of the Texas Mile. Hell, sometimes they'll even close a road and maybe even show up with radar guns to see how fast you can go:


On the VA faceplant: I once got popped in the country outside of Fairfax Virginia for doing 110 mph in a 55 zone. Nice rolling country 2-lane road, straight as an arrow and I had my mom's '65 Polara with a 383 under the hood. I thought the officer was extremely polite under the circumstances, though he did make me open the hood to show him the engine "when you went by me it sounded like a damn race car", lol. Other than the inverted air cleaner lid, it had a bone stock motor and was only a 2-barrel/single exhaust car to boot. Not quite sure how he figured my speed though, as I went past him at a 90 degree angle, he wasn't using radar, and we were never in sight of each other on the same road... he only caught up to me minutes later as i was stopped at a red light in some little country town. If I'd turned right there he probably would never have found me but I didn't know I was being pursued, dang it. But, I really wasn't in a position to argue with him over a few MPH (plus he was pretty damn close to right anyway) - he could just as easily thrown me in jail vs. writing me for speeding and letting me slink home.

As I was also playing hooky from school at the time, needless to say my parents were not pleased. Through some stroke of luck, the officer did not show up to court on the appointed day and the ticket was dropped. Didn't get me off the hook with my parents for being an idiot, but it did save them some $$.

I notice that one says "Suzuki GSX". That's a bit vague I've had some fast motorcycles and a friend currently owns a Hayabusa. Getting up to 150mph and back down to legal speed can be done in an amazingly short stretch of road.
 
I've had my share of run-ns with cops in the past being a long hair, just do as they ask and keep your mouth shut. I think they have much worse to worry about these days than a ponytail, like lunatics with guns.
 
No surprise 4 of the Top 5 were on motorcycles. Long straightaways in the wide open spaces tend to entice throttle twisting.

Is there a list for Montana? They used to not have speed limits, but issued tickets for wasting resources, ie. gas...

"In fact, the $20 fine in Montana for failure to wear a seatbelt is greater than the fine for driving 100 m.p.h. on average. But to be cited for not wearing a seatbelt, the driver must first be pulled over for some other offense.

''It's not that we're all a bunch of crazed drivers with a disrespect for the law,'' said Mr. Cronin. ''You can drive 200 miles on some roads here and not pass another car. So why do 65 miles an hour? It's like sitting at a stop light at 3 in the morning with nobody around.''
