You cannot be serious! 140mph on the Hutch after having a few -- I am actually surprised (and a bit pissed) that it took so long for someone to reprimand him! 140 on the Hutch is definitely a strecht. However, at the right time and no other traffic, that is his choise. Driving 140 anywhere, anytime, regardless of the conditions, after having a few is frankly inexcusable. Evenry one of us should be reeming him a new one!

Do you have a Valentine V1?

If no, you can't be serious driving that fast on a public road with no early warning system.

I know it's a bit much, but it was soooo nice and you all have done it and know that's the faster you go, the bigger the rush!

Anyways, so I see the lights flashing and I immediately knew he's after me. So I pulled aside and put my hazard lights on, and literally had to wait a few seconds for him to pull behind me. He was the most ridiculous trooper I have ever met. He started screaming on the loud speaker telling me to put the keys on the roof of the car, turn off the lights, turn on the interior lights, and to put my hands on the steering wheel!

Yes my car is tinted, plus I have the shades up. So I did what i was told and comes very cautious with his hand on the gun I swear!

He really didn't have to be that dramatic. He was a highway patrol trooper and didn't give me a chance to open my mouth with a word! At the end, I got 3 tickets and he said that he clocked me at 94 MPH. Which was fine by me. The other 2 tickets where for aggressive driving and failing to signal when i changed lanes! I told him, you gave me 2 tickets, was that last one necessary ? He was like, I write what i see. What a jerk.

Anyways, i sent the tickets to my lawyer and heard an earful from her. Let see what happens. BTW it came to a total of 19pts.


But I must say, it was such a good feeling.

19 points sounds WAY high...94 should be in the 8-11pt range, the others I'm not positive - but, if that's the case...you're toast bro. Say adios to the license.

No negotiating in NYC either.

Morten - 30mph is one thing...90mph over is a completely different story (if he was nailed for the full buck fourty.

Licenses are suspended at 12pts in NYS.
