slow your role next time. expect to pay thousands. take advantage of the installments option and short grace period. next road construction i see it will remind me of you payin the fine, cuz in this state, nothing gets past state troopers in court.

Slow the fuck down?

Your car has a gas pedal, when pressure is applied it directly effects your speedometer. If the speed limit is 55, apply just enough pressure to bring the speedometer needle up to the 55. When the needle reaches the 55, stop applying pressure.

Bend over and grab your ankles.
Shouldn't be too bad, less than $1500 with a lawyer.

you can try what my friend did for his 100 in a 55 ticket a few years ago.
Get Pete Decker, have your speedo show a lower speed than actual (f-body cars are easy to modify, just change the gear ratio in the computer), take it to a speedo shop and have it tested, get receipt, fix speedo, go back to speedo shop and get new receipt showing the problem is fixed, go to court with lawyer and speedo paper work and hopefully leave with a $46 improper equipment ticket and no points.

I think he'll be paying more than $1500 for such a high speed. I think it's around $1000 dollar fine just from DMV, on top of what the judge is going to issue, and then with however much the lawyer costs. I could be wrong though, can't remember exactly how much it is for a reckless driving.

He has a Florida license. He will not get the new fees. More than likely he will get a reckless ticket and get a $350.00 fine and court fees. Less than $500 total. Plus your insurance will double.
