why are you on a car forum? The judges are there because they can weigh judgement. If he takes this to court, and the atty representing him isn't a "buddy" looking for a better word, the judge isn't going to care. That speed is reckless. I know it, you know it. But you want to make a point to rub it in his face. When the majority of those who own sports cars have pushed their cars. I have caught people doing just that. And wrote citations for it. Not because of the speed per se, but where they chose to do the speed. It is a judgement we all make when playing with a car capable of such speeds. Using good judgement when or when not too. But you, being the perfect driver who obviously has never been over the speed limit want to make a point here. What is that point? We all know he was wrong, he knows he was wrong and got caught. What is your point? I have never met a perfect driver, and doubt if you are either. My own sign borrowed from a trooper buddy of mine is "Sometimes you get the Bear, and sometimes the Bear get YOU!".... That is just how it is out there....he could have ran that speed a 100 times and never get caught, but that one time....an unmarked plain Camaro....he gets caught...pay the fine and move on...doesn't make the guy a criminal...go buy a Buick and get on the Buick forum, and talk about holding up traffic because you can...geeezzzz....
