I tried that. They just took my money. Absolutely no difference made.
@@ddpwil35yeah love it when youtubers shill for products and services that are clearly a scam 😂
How about just slowing down and going the speed limit? You think you could tell people that instead of getting them off what would be a valuable lesson?
@@ddpwil35 At least they called you back.
IF YOU'RE NOT AFRAID TO FILE THE PAPERWORK, THERE IS A WAY TO AVOID TICKETS WITHOUT GOING TO COURT, AND IF YOU DO GO, YOU CAN STILL WIN. BUT THAT IS ANOTHER DISCUSSION FOR ANOTHER TIME. THANKS.
One of my biggest problems with our legal system is that judges can increase your sentence just because you said a word they don't like
That is how they keep control of their court rooms...
I avoid this by obeying laws
It's called respect. This dbag should have gotten a lot more than 7 days in jail.
@@Nickfromcali: Where's the fun in that? After all, it's only illegal if you get caught. 😉
@@davidhollenshead4892 this is how they do whatever they want even tho there is freedom of speech in this country...
I love how he ends it with, "Leave 200 mph to runways" but also says "I now have 2 radar detectors" lol
Can't use both simultaneously, though
It depends. If one is an installed system you should be ok to run a windshield mount without interference, running two windshield mounts next to each other is not recommended though@@utbigpapa
Of course. ACAB. Avoid the police and their terry stops as much as possible. It's just an excuse for them to be bullies and/or make cash quotas for the county.
@@sprite2065 100%. I see you too are a person of culture
Hahaha was thinking the same thing xD
I got pulled over going 135mph in a 75. I was in the middle of nowhere AZ. I was on State Hwy 60 between Love and Aguila. Theres a stretch that is 27 miles thats flat and straight. Ive driven it MANY times on the way from Prescott, AZ to LA, CA. This time, I was by myself with no wife and kids and in my modified 2008 WRX (VF52 turbo, DP, Full Exhaust, Tune, Intake, bigger brakes and upgraded suspension). Ive never seen a cop on that stretch and I figured I was cleared for a top speed run.
I was getting closer to the stretch. I hadnt seen another car for a few minutes. It was in the middle of the week and traffic was REALLY light. I was going about 85 and then realized I was on the part of the hwy I was waiting for and then just went pedal to the metal. About 10 miles in I saw a glint on the hwy and just figured it was another car. It was another car. An AZ Dept of of Public Safety (DPS) patrol. I realized it too late and let off the gas as we passed. I cruised for a few moments and then hit the brakes.
In the rear view mirror I can see the trooper hit the brakes, make a u turn and hit the lights. I stopped as soon I could. Pulled over. I rolled my window down and turned the car off. I put my license, insurance and keys on the dash. I pulled my gun out (I left it holstered) and set it on the seat in plain view.
As he came up I, I had my hands on my steering wheel and let him know immediately that I was armed. He said "Dont reach for yours and I wont reach for mine." He then asked me if I knew how fast I was going I said "Yes.". He said I got you at 135mph. I told him I was going 140ish before I saw him. He asked me if he was going to find anything on my license when he runs it. I said "If you give me a ticket this will be the 1st one in about 10 years." He replied "Oh youre getting a ticket today."
He went back to his cruiser...luckily it was only 80-85 so it wasnt too hot waiting for him. I left my hands on the wheel to whole time. He came back and said "I'm going to need to you get out of your car." I thought "Oh shit, Im going to jail."
He said "I dont have a problem with people going 90 out here but do you know theres a ranch?" I replied "No." He continued "Last week a cow got out and was on the road...someone hit it going 100...the driver and the cow both died." He went on to tell me that since I pulled over without him making me chase me and had everything ready to go that he was only going to write me ticket for 85mph!!!!
He explained that since hes only writing me for 10mph over I can go to traffic school and this whole thing will be so cheap. He even said theres online traffic schools for about $40. In AZ you only pay the traffic school not for both the violation and school. He wrote me the ticket and warned me to slow down. I avoided HUGE fines and jail.
Amazing story! Very lucky. Good for you man. Some cops are cool
Good cop, can they really get a read on your speed when they are driving towards you on the other lane ?
Never heard of it.
@@boogboog8097 Yes they can, with radar. Laser must be aimed at individual cars, but radar can be while moving.
pulled ova goin dat fast u dumb
@@busa7star979 135 in a 70… I do not support running from the police. BUT… do you mind if I ask why you stopped?
I remember watching this story unfold on Savage Garage, RIP Randy
Agreed. RIP Randy

You bet!
Okay, several things I've learned over the years about traffic stops:
1 - Repeatedly calling a cop "sir" will not get you out of whatever trouble you're in.
2 - The cop doesn't personally care what you did, so don't waste your breath apologizing.
3 - If you get caught doing triple digits, the cop's taking you to jail. Shut your mouth and let your lawyer speak for you.
4 - If you're driving a fast car that looks fast, DO NOT wrap it up like a stock car or a Jackson Pollock painting and then wind it out.
5 - DO NOT EVER, AS IN NEVER, record yourself doing something awesome. You call it "Content," but prosecutors call it "Evidence."
not if you "did it in Mexico"
If you must record it never film your face during and change the date stamp! This will at least make it harder to use the video later against you. But if they have the film your likely DOOMED!!!
Lucky me then, Hawaii OAHU were the max speed is 55mph (one rare stretch at 60mph), I was caught doing 104 in said 55, didn't get arrested (had 3 passengers Who were drunk and I picked them up from Honolulu), wrote a citation and last month got the trial and won it by getting the lawyer to prove that cops aren't aware of the usage of their equipment and was found NOT GUILTY.
@redgediakite3364 That's how you do it. Then again you weren't in the South of the US.
@@vir123456 I mean I guess lol, lucky my lawyer got me out of that cause Hawaii is worse than the South states for sure, it's trash from my pov.
How lucky is this dude. Complete strangers bailing him out
$600 is pocket change to these guys
If the police stop you at 180 everything depends on how deep your pockets are. 😉
This excuse has worked before the throttle linkage was stuck.
Bribes?
That is how the millionaire who broke my got off for drinking two liters of wine, running a stop sign and then fleeing the scene of an accident until his Mercedes...@@JohnSmith-yl8sg
No, what matters is whether you actually stop or keep going
Nothing beats the hometown advantage of having a lawyer that plays golf on the weekend with all the judges 😅
Man where you screwed up big time was doing that in Georgia. They are ruthless about speeding.
At least it wasn't Virginia
He screwed up big time by doing that on a public road.
He should have been banned from driving & the police should have kept the car...
@@andyandroid5345VA is the worst. I almost got sideswiped by a VA state trooper when he came power sliding onto the highway from some dirt access road in the woods. All to pull over someone with out of state plates going 10-15 over the limit.
@@davidhollenshead4892 are you going to spam this on every comment? Why are you watching these videos if that's what you think?
@@davidzebar6876i mean he's not wrong, i bet you would feel the same if this guy had rear ended your wife and kids or your mother while doing north of 150 mph and they had to pick up your loved one with a sponge
"Two radar detectors just in case". I gotta remember that!
Watch out for them interfering with each other. Usually ill advised.
In Virginia and Mississippi , a radar detector is a ticket on its own 🙄
@@fakenews7266 thankfully I don't live in the US. The cops in Australia frown upon radar detectors, but as far a I know they are not illegal to posses one. I was interested in the info in the vid, as I have knocked up over $4000 in speeding fines, and I am tired of the system smacking me just because once outside of the metro area, I like to put my foot down and enjoy the scenery flying past at 200 Kms a hour. That just over 124 Mph for you Yanks. 😃
@@2B34ever If you read down a bit I got busted doing 165+ MPH that would be 265 KMPH , when I was spotted I was slowing down and I used up 3 1/2 miles to slow down safely , you don't use the brakes at that speed and use the engine , my fine would have been $ 1010 US but because the cops screwed everything up I was acquitted , This was back around 1992 , it still stands as my documented street record , I have calmed down a lot since then but I still like to get out and open it up from time to time . I still have my copy of the ticket but it has faded so much it has become unreadable , it is framed and is on the wall next to my marriage license , they only give you a copy on contact paper and keep the original .
I always wanted to open my bike up on the Autobahn just to see what it can really do , I know how quick it is in a 1/4 mile but ........@@2B34ever
SG had about 3,000 subscribers during GR11. This was one of our early big videos. It was great content, but becoming friends with you David, and going on all the adventures in the following years with you, was a lot more special! Good times and a great story!

#truth
Seen the 911 on the side of the highway I knew what I was watching. RIP SG AND RANDY. Glad to see his heart and stories brought to life
Dave is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met on a rally. Super friendly and surprised everyone by placing hot wheels on their cars while everyone was away from the cars. (Truly lives up to the hot wheels wrap). It was great pleasure to drive along side this mad man with a fast and very loud 911 turbo s. Cheers to you Dave. You’re a legend.
Anybody that puts everybody's Family's lives at risk is no legend: he's a criminal. And anybody who supports criminals... well... you know.
@terryk5412 hahahaha putting family lives at risk? So basically just driving every day?
@@fast97z24 You don't get it do you? Driving across the United States at 180 mile per hour! I have taken people to the morgue because of people like him.
The first time I was pulled over was in 1986 in Great Barrington, MA. The cop clocked me at 146 in a 45. He asks me if I knew how fast I was going 'back there' and I said no and explained that the speedo in my 73 Camaro(my first car) only went to 135mph. The ticket was 50 bucks. I miss the Eighties. 😆
182 MPH?!?...Must have clocked me when I slowed down to take that curve
How did the 140 MPH cop catch him?
Georgia cops don’t mess around
Especially the State troopers.
Two more days for cussing?!? If I was one of these rich guys I'd have a lawyer giving these ppl a hard time until the end of time
They should have banned him from driving and kept the car...
2nd least amount of State troopers , 2nd highest ticket output of all the states. Also have Super speeder tickets.
Unless you know them. I live on the south side of Metro-Atlanta. I'm from a rural area. Georgia cops aren't much different from the rest of the country in that respect. What Ed says is right about GSP. They are pretty much all arrogant and have no patience or grace.
If more people would drive 200mph on the highway, we wouldn't have to deal with this crap. 🏎
Because you would be dead from all the accidents that street racers cause...
The only "crap" is that he wasn't banned from driving for life & didn't lose the car!!!
@@davidhollenshead4892 If you drive on sight the risk is at a minimum. Driving fast is not street racing. Please educate yourself.
@@davidhollenshead4892 There's nothing stopping street racers from driving that fast today, yet accidents are rare. There is a difference between street racing and simply driving fast.
In the '90's, my uncle was clocked over 200 mph in the Arizona desert and was chased by multiple cars and a helicopter. He had a modified S500 Merc. He crested a hill and there were 6 cop cars nose to nose with flares out to slow him down. They were more interested in the car than giving him a ticket. They said he would get something in the mail and never did.
I used to be a cop in Georgia, and there are no ventilation systems in the back seat. It is just naturally hot because there is no air flow. I would generally roll the windows down so that way they could get some air flow in the back seat and I would periodically check on them, also with laser, the reason laser cannot be detected by laser detectors until you are the one being clocked is a laser gun puts off one single beam, as opposed to a radar system that puts out 3 billion Waves per second in a cone shape. If your laser detector is going off that means that you are directly being lasered, which is a good idea to slow down because sometimes it takes a few seconds for the laser gun to lock on its Target especially if you have a small car
This is one of the reasons why a rally I go on have a David Lockhart trophy for whoever gets the biggest ticket. 😂
LMFAO! For sure!
You hang with went fast didn’t die? I think I’ve met you lol
@@TheCboyz Yeah, I've gone to several of their events. I would go to more, but they like to do morning drives and I am 2 hours away.
haha yep I've definitely met you then, i've got the dark blue ST that's usually covered in stickers.@@sophiaskeens6417
Randy is, and will always be remembered as a fucking legend. What a guy.
Lucky you! I got arrested for 188mph (speedo said 191 but didn't seem like something I should argue) got 3 years real probation, 300 hours community service, $2,770 in fines, 30 days jail (served 10), and a felony charge pleaded to a misdemeanor. Lost my license for a year, which stretched to 3 years because I got caught driving 2 more times. Insurance was all but impossible to get for years after.
wtf lmao that's crazy. Did you have a radar detector?
the first 100 miles from the florida line to atlanta is one giant speed trap. I got a $700 ticket for going 90
Yup they have the "Super Speeder" law that really gets costly. :
I was towing a new travel trailer at 47 over and got stopped by troopers that decided there might be drugs hidden in trailer. Totally tore it to pieces looking for drugs and then left me to pick up the pieces.(but no ticket}
@@user-vo5mm1cx4p Luckily they didn't plant anything
The problem with radar detectors is if they are using Laser, they pretty much have you when the alert goes off .....
I’ve gone fast a few times in a car and on a bike, but not crazy fast. Stories like this really make me think twice about even doing triple digits. Good job keeping a cool head and dealing with the consequences with humility and dignity! 👍
Honestly, he should have been banned from driving and the police should have kept the car...
I got pulled over a week ago, “86 in a 70” little didn’t cop know I was just doing 167 and my gps told me he was chilling up the road 😂
Yea where I live anything over 80 is bad news. Racing = jail, evading = jail hard to not just keep going lol
@@Hratings I’ll run with that knowledge lol. Most cop cars especially non traffic enforcement cars (tahoes and explorers) they at most will hit 130 before they back off.
@JamesCook76131 lol yea but 10 days jail compared to eluding is umm like comparing a water balloon to a hand grenade XD.
We live in a Police state, no doubt. I've made multiple 200 mph plus passes on US 30 between Lima & Van Wert Ohio. I generally only did this during the middle of the night when there was minimal traffic. I also left many a trooper scratching their heads with my ZX-11's & H2's. Just have to pick your time & places carefully & of course I never have injured anyone, especially myself. As I've aged over 50, I have shown down greatly. I'm more into face melting acceleration than driving 200 plus mph. To me, it's much less risky & satisfies my need for speed.
The less I interact with the Highway Patrol, the happier I am 😊
I'm in Tennessee visiting family and driving back to the airport in a rented Challenger. Get stopped by a State Trooper and get a tongue lashing and a ticket for 141mph in a 70mph zone. I was certain I was going to jail, missing my flight and this was going to cost me thousands. Ended up paying $40 for an online safety course and $182.50 fine. lol
Learn from it friend. Not worth it to get caught up like that plus that could be god letting you off and giving you another chance.
I am never doing anything that will run the risk of me going to jail outside my home state LOL.
Lol on the highway going to Nashville? I went to my German limiter (155) on that road.
@@redgediakite3364 Yeah, Knoxville to Nashville. Super fun road starting a few miles east of the airport.
U should have gone to jail for being so stupid. U don't even think or care about anyone else on the road. Complete selfishness.
Dave is one of the coolest guys I know. Randy had him in his phone as "Bail money Dave"! LOL! Great story for sure! That car is a complete animal!
2003 - I just picked up a 1998 BMW 323ic in Atlanta and was driving it to NJ with PAPER TEMP. plates signed off on the day before. 7AM on Rte 85 northbound with almost no one on the road. 8 cop cars had stopped someone going Southbound. I was driving with the flow of traffic. I thought all cops were busy so I wanted to see what it had. In 15 seconds I was going 135, and looked in the mirror to make sure it was still safe to do more.
I see this unmarked Crown Vic [no lights on] over a half a mile behind, trying to weave through traffic to get to me. I downshifted and E-braked [no brake lights]. When he got to me as I was again doing 60. He followed for a mile and then pulled along side of me. I turned to him and shrugged as to say, Sorry, you got me, I'm not going to do anything. He gave me a disgusted Dad look, and followed until the next exit 3 miles away, [went to that other stopped car]. I was lucky he was too far away, with too many cars running interference for radar.
Ran with Lockhart on a couple rallies here in Florida and a couple charity events, always a super chill dude and overall nice guy.
love the outtro. a meditation on speeding and how its wrong. But then followed by upgrading his detection system so he doesn't get caught again. If the first thing is true, the second wouldn't be needed... but we all understand the love of speed.
He's not sorry for what he's done. He's an a$$hole acting like a good guy.
Good morning, happy friday everyone. Great stories to start the day! Thank you!
So you really didn't learn your lesson, you just got an additional radar detector.
David is the man! Had an absolute blast on a rally with him!
Rest in peace to randy from savage garage i truly miss him man i remember watching this pull over when it happened
Dave is the OG of Rallying… we ran the Corsa Rally in 2019 with him right after we bought our Jaguar XKR-S GT at auction at Amelia Island. He won the airport run way race in a field of 60 super cars. Super guy, very well respected by all the drivers
Saying the F word got two days in jail? That sounds like a really sane and not at all batshit crazy judge.
I spent a few years in Georgia and had ONE experience with Georgia cops. That was back in 1971. I swore to myself I'd never step foot in that ass-backwards state for the rest of my life.
Barney Fife was a pretty accurate caricature of what I saw in Georgia.
You let someone with a resemblance to Barney Fife scare you off? 😂
Don't be a criminal and there's no problem.
@@Furious321 Nope. Just amazed how well the south fit their stereotype.
Then again, with all their inbreeding, what should I have expected?
@@davidj4662 There was no crime involved, Barney. 😉 But thanks for playing "stupid assumptions."
@@davidj4662 Stay ignorant
TLDR; I did 186mph, got arrested and didn’t learn my lesson. Always have 2 radar detectors!
™
October 2022 I remember seeing that hot wheels wrapped 911 fly by me in Florida on i10 while I was headed back home to Texas. Pretty sweet to see on the road
Two days in jail for a word that doesn't really mean anything. Outstanding.
A mild story compared to yours. I own a '91 NSX, entrance ramp on I85 south going into Atlanta. Into third gear a little deep, 85-90 mph. Look in the rear view mirror, Atlanta's finest. Follows me for a bit then pulls beside me and gives me a thumbs up. Car guy
In the 80s...
I got pulled over within 1 hour after receiving my paper drivers license when I was 16.
I was clocked 110 MPH over the posted speed limit of 35 MPH.
I got a wreckless endangerment ticket.
He let me go.
The car was a 66 Dodge Coronet with a 440.
The reason he let me go ...
I came to a stop without losing control, before he could even put on his lights.
Dave is always a class act, we have been on a few rally days together and he has always been a careful law abiding guy so don't judge on one alleged speeding incident. Love the hat, let's go Drive Florida
And a couple years later David stopped for me when I had some issues with my CTSV on a different rally.
Great dude!
I remember Savage Garage getting some footage of this incident. RIP Randy.❤
The title should be cuss words get you 2 more days in jail or something like that. Nice stuff as always.
You go 182 mph on a US highway and get caught, you deserve jail time and have your license suspended for 5 years.
Got pinched in 1986 south of Indianapolis on a Friday afternoon around 3:20 leaving school in Indy and headed home in the extreme southern tip of the state. Another guy from school was behind us and I was focused on going fast enough to keep him from passing me... my speedometer read 131 when I glimpsed something in the median ahead probably a mile and a half. I immediately mashed the brakes and scrubbed off 30 and came out from under an overpass where I was sure by that point it was ISP in the median with a St. Regis.
After being sure he had seen me by then, I got on the brakes again and really brought it down to probably 50. [70 340 Dart Swinger with the kelsey hays 4 piston discs, in lemon twist yellow and black buttstripe and hoodscoops]
I got it stopped on the shoulder just a few hundred yards beyond where he had been sitting. Keyed off, hands on the wheel, window down.
He was teeth clinched and asked "w.t.f." I was trying to prove. I only said I was in a hurry to get home, and didn’t realize how fast I was going. He said to come back to his cruiser.
On getting in, I could see his readout was reflecting 118mph. He said angrily that he saw me before the overpass and knew I was going faster than what he had clocked me at. I apologized profusely and was clearly shaking with fear/adrenaline, and he said "Oh, you're GONNA be sorry alright.
He wrote me for 87mph saying he only just got out there and didn’t intend to sit and do 6 hours of paperwork to arrest me, but, he wrote me for endangering public safety, and unsafe equipment, because I had taken the seat belts out for re-carpeting the car and hadn't reinstalled them.
Muttered that I should feel lucky he wasn't arresting me and handed me the tickets and held onto them when I attempted to take them, he said through clinched teeth that if he saw 'that yellow shitpile' even so much as change lanes without signaling, he'd make me regret it. I completely agreed to his admonition. Still not believing he was letting me go.
$278.00 and 3 years probation,, and no small amount of disenchantment from my Granddad.... that was the last ticket I had until well into the 2000's.
Oh wow! My family lives in Metter. I've seen that jail and courthouse numerous times. You definitely got off easy! The cops there really don't mess around.
In the 90's I was pulled over by 10 to 12 Florida state troopers doing 183 mph in a heavily modified Chevy Silverado. They were more shocked it was a truck then the speed! Thanks to the Ticket Clinic it was about $800 in court cost and their fee. Thanks again Ticket Clinic!
Getting 2 days more for saying you are sorry is the stupidest thing ever. I feel like you should be able to sue for that, but thats the opposite of what happened. Gotta love the legal system
He got it for swearing. Not for the apology. And his lawyer is an idiot and should never have let him do that without pre planning a response. A good lawyer never gets anything to chance and never asks a question they don't already know the answer to
I drive through GA back and forth to FL. I have gotten more tickets in GA than any other state, and I've never lived there. The GA highway patrol are serious about "their roads"!
I used to have a '98 Z/28 that I used to fly back and forth from Florida to the Midwest about once a month. I knew where most of the cops hung out but occasionally, I'd get surprised. I didn't get pulled over once, even though several times I was way too close for them to miss. Illinois cops and Georgia cops are usually quick to grab you. My conclusion was that the shape of the metal hood must be reflecting away so they couldn't get a fix on me. They couldn't have all been asleep or not running radar/LIDAR.
So two radar detectors. Got it.
Thanks Jimmy
This is just so hilarious from my German perspective. A car that is purposely build for that speed, on an empty street, triggers a power tripping cop & JAIL TIME!
Unreal.
I wish they factored in more variables at these speeding stops in the US. Most civillian veichles have tires that are at least rated to go 120 so if their driving was otherwise not reckless, a ticket should be all thats warented. 100 being an automatic felony in many states is crazy, it feels like walking speed.
Moral of the story, don't drive 200 MPH and you won't be in jail and have to worry about your mouth in court...lol
1968 mustang 390 gt stopped at 110 mph cop takes me to a small just peace court ..fined $100 pay.., no ticket escorted back to I-95 at 80 mph on back roads , cop waved i was gone ...best court i have been in ..
182mph lmao. I love the interaction.
I knew I recognized the car. WTF! This is that Porsche that Savage Garage helped bail out of jail. No way. Crazy to hear the story years later.
I’ll never forget the phone call I received this day. Always a wild adventure with you!
David came to my neighborhood car meet in fishhawk and we did a mini rally after. Super nice guy
The second I saw the way that car was wrapped I knew exactly what the story was. Pretty wild, glad he was down to share it.
Crackheads are basically harmless. If you had told the guy you'd put $20 in his canteen account he probably would have given you a handy!
You give someone $20, they're gonna come to you for another $20 real quick. Cause you're the guy who freely hands out $20.
l got pulled over in the 80s in a 69 AMX with a super charged 492 thompson t10 shaeffer 383 doing 165mph+ and the cop was an AMX fan in TEXAS! and gave me a 75 in a 65 zone. He wanted to know all about the merc marine super charger set up. He followed me from Austin to Luling Tx and we ate BBQ.
His first problem was using a K40 system. Absolute garbage
What’s that
Any recommendations for a better system? I've been searching for my R35, it's too easy to be illegal in this car 🤣
@@salsasnackerreally depends on what your needs are in a system. Are you looking for just a windshield detector, or a custom installed one? Will you be going through states radar/laser systems are illegal? Do you have an iPhone or an Android? Do you want the laser jamming system to be connected to the radar, allowing one screen/controller to display/control the system? A really good source for this kind of information is the CZcams channel “Vortex Radar”, but I could probably narrow the options down for you.
@@salsasnacker Uniden R8 or Valentine V1g2. And then you need laser defense. Waze at minimum or a ALP (anti laser priority, the company name) system if you can afford it.
Yeah for laser defense = Waze + Uniden R9/ALP system plus install
“Take it to the Track”. Saves money, time, and most importantly lives.
they dont' care about that. they'd rather go out like Ryan Dunn even if it means killing others too.
@@j0hnnykn0xv1lle such a shame what Ryan did.
Quit shutting down the tracks then?
Sounds like Georgia is worth skipping lol…
And Virgina
I did a rally with him back in 2022 from FL to NC and this man was funny as hell and super chill lol. Was hanging out the window for roller shots and he pulls up wearing a halloween mask lmao. (rally was around halloween) his car also sounds insane in person.
178mph in the city limits in vegas and I repped my self and got only 1 point and a $1600 fine
"OK, I'm going to do a 200mph run on the highway".......what the actual F?

I love David. Such a nice guy. Had a lot of fun with him on SR.
I got a ticket going 104mph in a 70mph zone. I thought I was going to jail. Cop wrote me the ticket and sent me on my way. Went to courthouse to find out how much it was. $270. Oh ok. Told the lady behind the counter I didn't want to fight it just pay it. I was afraid if I went in front of a judge they would lock me up for going 30mph over. She said thats nonsense she has seen much higher and I should fight it. Get my court date. I arrive and we sit in a waiting area. The officer who ticketed us has a little room off this waiting area. Called us in one at a time. Askes me my name. Oh yeah I remember you. Mr. 104 in the silver Forester. I'll cut you a break. Your fine is $168 and only 2 points. Before it was $270 and 4 points. I said not going to argue. Paid the fine then one week later got a letter from the court saying I was eligible for traffic school. Paid my $40 and took my class online. No points!
One beautiful summer day back in the mid 90s I was on a business trip with a scheduled meeting. I was traveling between Caliente NV and Elko NV driving a rented convertible ford mustang LX or LS, as I didn’t want to fly on a crop duster to get to the meeting. The summer heat thermals can be brutal in NV going over mountains. Somewhere out in the wilderness with my supervisor, who was on the trip with me, told me to push it, “I’ll take care of the ticket”. So I did. Don’t know the highest speed achieved, but on the opposite side of the highway I passed a NV state trooper doing 127mph when I looked down and still to this day, 28 years plus, I’m waiting for him to turn around and come get us, he hasn’t. That was the most awesome business trip and speeding experience I had in my entire career! 😂. I drove that
It's not ok that someone has this much authority over another person who hasn't hurt anyone or damaged anyone's property.
WTF??? Do you not understand that by driving over a hundred MPH leaves a trail of accidents??? That was how Mr. Bill Gates was banned from driving, and yes he caused a bunch of accidents. As other motorists tend to make mistakes when being passed by a speeding car on the freeway as though their cars were parked??? You do not have a right to injure other people...
Uhm what? He didn’t hurt anyone but he could’ve easily killed someone.
What he did is the equivalent of recklessly waving a gun around in a crowded mall without firing any bullets.
This story could have easily ended up with multiple fatalities. Im just as much of a car guy myself but 180+ on a highway is NUTS.
@@Mw2PwnAgE1227 Flashing a firearm at a group of innocent people for no reason is nothing like driving fast. Lol
The comparison is ridiculous.
He didn't injure or harm anyone in any way. It's a victimless crime.
@@caseyorosz3619 driving fast on a road of innocent people. Crashing is the equivalent of pulling the trigger.
Let's follow your logic as an experiment. You say his driving endangered people who are out on the highway, so they're a victim, therefore it is a crime. If this is true, then everyone who drives on the road is a victim, and a criminal. Just being on the road is endangering themselves and others.
RIP Randy ❤
Man! How times have changed! I've been pulled over so many times for 100+ and only got one ticket, (most all of those were 20yrs ago) Clocked at 140 and he knew I was faster because he said I saw the nose of the car dive as you got on the brakes. Got a ticket for reckless driving and drove away. Attorney settled over the phone, $400 fine. All the other times I was polite, admitted fault and agreed with anything they said. I got a few warnings and a little lecture here or there, but mostly "slow it down" and that's it.
K40 is the worst. As soon as I heard him say that I knew where this was headed.
If you hit someone going that fast, you deserve to be thrown under a jail...
911 Turbo-S is designed for those speeds. It's not going to hit someone. You are just being dramatic for attention.
@magi115 just too many unknown variables on public roads... from inattentive drivers to animals. Your going almost a football field per second at that speed. Do it on a track.
@@magi115 Dumbo, if you are driving at over hundred MPH then you should be banned from driving for life. As doing that usually leaves a trail of car accidents. And no the 911 Turbo-S wasn't designed to hit a pot hole at over a hundred miles per hour...
But he didn't hit someone.
@@magi115exactly, my 750i does 172mph (limited by ECU) no problem. I don’t think these people realize that these cars can do these speeds comfortably for the autobahn
Don't drive around a car that looks like a circus wagon that is so easy for the cops to pick out.Try to blend in.
That's why 70% of Porsches are silver.
Get a gray Kia Stinger
I got pulled over in Estill SC. Showed up to court, which was an old house. The court room was so small I could high five the judge. The first officer get up before starting and gives a statement.
My reader gun has certified accurate. My certification in training is up today. 5mph over is still speeding.
Thankfully my officer no longer worked there so my ticket was dropped.
You cannot curse in court....unless your name is Ricky.
“Do you know how fast you were going?”
Nnnot fast…enough?
I have been 140mph many times in various cars that weren't meant to go that fast and it felt like the end of the world and the car wanted to kill me. I have also been 170mph in my S600 and it was beautiful. The S600 is in a diferent world compared to the others and is so stable and smooth that it almost gives you too much confidence which can be a different kind of scary. It's almost like you're driving a video game version instead of irl but it is very exciting.
I currently drive a 2019 750i, have also driven while workin for Mercedes several s600, Maybachs and S63/65
These cars don’t even register you’re doing almost 180mph, let alone what this guy is driving in the video.
I remember doing 164 in my Camaro SS and felt like I was about to lose control, while doing 172 in my 750i feels completely safe and comfortable
@@JamesCook76131 My Mustang GT's commanded my full attention at 140 whereas my w140 S600 Lorinser is pretty uneventful. According to the eco gauge it was still getting like 12mpg but I don't know if that was accurate because I never stayed at that speed for very long. The only problem I ever noticed is I got a vibration that started very light and got noticeably worse with speed and it turned out that one of the unobtainable 3 piece Lorinser wheels developed a couple of cracks but other than that high speed has always felt safe.
I have driven a hemi 300C (non srt8) at 130 for a minute and it felt decent (still not like my S600) but it's basically a Mercedes chassis so that makes sense. You can tell the Germans know how to go properly fast.
In full disclosure I have not driven the new body Mustang GT so things may be different now but in the past that's how it was.
@@me3333 I think just the lack of sheer weight / downforce is what makes those cars feel unstable. They’re just big engines inside of a very underdeveloped car (I’ve driven the GT500 it was very stable at 150 same with the zl1 1le very stable)
While the German car makers are forced to make a car that can be driven at high speed for extended periods of time for the autobahn.
You’re correct on the 300c as I had the next gen E Class chassis (driven them on the track too) not very agile but very stable at high speeds for sure.
Believe it or not, you could consider the 300c/challenger and charger luxury chassis because of this, that’s why they do very well with the high horsepower engine configurations without much drama
Some cars are definitely not meant for it, first car I ever had was a Hyundai Elantra that started shaking and rattling above 120 but the day I bought a 2017 BMW M240I I hit 150 on a straight away and it felt like butter, the car really makes the difference
thats just how the german cars roll even vws will run super stable at 140mph
In 1971 I was driving down I-75 South, heading towards Florida, via southern Georgia in my 1968 427 Corvette. Cruising at around 100 mph., I suddenly looked in my rear view mirror and saw the flashing lights of the dreaded Georgia State Patrol. My pretty wife was busy telling me "I told you so" when a rather obese officer, wearing a pair of mirrored sunglasses, approached my driver's side window. Rolling down my electric window, my wife leaned across the center console and greeted the officer by asking him if he had pulled us over to sell us tickets to the policeman's ball. The officer was taken aback momentarily, but then quickly declared that the State Patrol did not have any balls. Looking suddenly embarrassed and realizing what he just said, he folded up his ticket book, stuck it in his belt packet and walked back to his Patrol car and drove away without looking at us. My wife and I sat along the side of the highway laughing hysterically for several minutes and then headed on our way, very thankful for ducking an expensive ticket!
I rallied with David and I can say that Porsche on race fuel was mean… David is the most genuine dude out there.
Three times I was busted for traveling in excess of a buck-thirty. Once on my bike. Twice I narrowly avoided getting a red-assed beat down, and the third time I was certain I would be shot. Cops were *not* amused. I recall that they all said something similar: "Boy...this here is MY road, and your ass is going straight to jail". My attorney told me that she would not be standing up before the judge for me again, and to slow my ass down. I also learned that slipping some cash to a trustee goes a long way in making your stay at the old graybar hotel a lot easier.
All things aside, sounds like a terrible attorney. Their job is to stand up for you and be on your side regardless of the charge not shame you for speeding like you're some kind of violent felon (even they get attorneys).
I've done multiple road trips south to north and east to west, and I can tell you with all confidence that Georgia State Police is everywhere and if you are 10mph over they will stop you. If you want to make some time on a trip, make sure you do it in another state.
Rally speaks volumes to mechanical prep. Touching a speed is 1 thing. Holding that speed is an entirely different universe. I own an engine machine shop. Man oh man prep and parts for endurance(such as boats for example) is simply another level.
Thanks for the great story!
I think a CB Radio, bracket and antenna could not be more than 4LB. *with that car, I'd also have a scanner and bird-dog.
Moral off the story always get 2 scanners, lol
Nope, the moral of the story is don't drive on public roads at over a hundred miles per hour...

the ending is so halarious when he is like “probably the scariest dude ive ever met” had me laughing.
I remembered hitting 130mph on my first car at 05:30 in the night. You know how’s it like to feel the car literally flying at ground level? That night, the road was empty of cars and I decided it would be great to try and do a top speed run… Problem was that going up the hill there was a Civil Guard (traffic police) car stopped on the siding. I don’t know why but… I went on to turn off my lights as I saw the blue lights on the siding, guy started chasing immediately as I cleared the bend on the highway… I got off the highway a couple km later and stopped on an abandoned train station near the gas station, cop later was seen driving past the gas station thinking I didn’t leave the highway.
Do you know how it feels like to… reach my destination and see another civil guard at the entrance of the hillclimb rally? Shat literal bricks seeing the same stelvio i saw before and the radio going wild with talk of a blatch hatch clocked doing 130mph, Looked at the cop in the eyes and signaled me that he knew it was me but couldn’t prove it was mine (he didn’t see my car plate with the lights off)
Lets just say that from now on… I will make sure to get two radar detectors, I was lucky to get away that time.
You should have put the pedal to the metal , whipped off an exit, peeled off the wrap, and continued the race...LOL I out ran a local cop once with a 5.0 Mustang LX. It was at night, so I pulled into my driveway, shut off the lights, and ducked down.
Yeah but this is during the day, in an unfamiliar area, in a Hot Wheels wrapped Porsche….
Cops these days have fast cars unlike in the old crown vic days
@@katieadams5860 - I have an ‘11 CVPI, a ‘95 Caprice 9C1 and have driven a few police chargers. They’re all big, heavy boats. The Top speed is there but the rate of acceleration, handling and most importantly: repeated braking is where they become non- competitive. Also most police departments won’t allow a pursuit above 100 mph anymore. Just too much liability if someone gets hurt. I’ve never driven a Porsche, but I’d imagine it’s quite responsive in all regards due to its smaller size. If someone is willing to donate a GT3RS, I’ll make room in my garage 🤷♂️
I have court for 94 in a 55. This story made me feel a little better 😂. Although it’s a misdemeanor reckless driving ticket. But I guess we’ll see what happens.
I’m from England and I copped one a few years back on I-95 near DC. 86 in a 70. Cop wanted to take me to jail right there. It cost me about five grand in Lawyer fees to get Plead down to an infraction. But that’s ruthless. Reckless driving for doing 16 miles an hour over the limit in a straight line driving at the speed of all the traffic around you. It was a wake up call to me. Back home in the UK 86 in a 70 it will get you three points on your license and maybe £100 fine, so misdemeanour reckless with a jail sentence was absolutely frightening at the time for little old English me.
Brother get in touch with the ticket doctor group who always are advertised on this channel. Go through one of their lawyers. May cost you a few grand but by God it’s better than having a criminal record for driving a car.
Ah there you go fam! He gives you the details for the ticket doctor at the end of the video.
Seriously you don’t wanna be going to jail for that. A good lawyer will plea it down.
@@noelht1sounds like you were in Virginia? In the state of Virginia, they treat anything over 80 MPH as reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor. It's the same as drink driving and domestic violence there, and it's one step below a felony. That state is REALLY strict.
@@EA40 the law in VA is that 80+ is reckless (misdemeanor), but in practice it's officer's discretion. I got a ticket written for 80+ in a 55 but the officer cited the standard traffic infraction code on the ticket rather than reckless/misdemeanor speeding. Ended up pleading guilty to "improper equipment" (no points; no DMV record impact) but paid the same amount the ticket would've been. County cops are less likely to let you off with a warning, but more likely to work with you in the courtroom. State troopers are more likely to let you off with a warning, but almost never go for plea deals. Counties keep ticket revenue and can use it in their budget however they like, tickets written by state troopers fund the state literacy fund.
@@EA40 In FL it's anything over 99, but some cops will give you a break.
My old RedlLine Escort radar detector, works flawlessly. He never addressed what was the deal with his radar detection system?
I wouldn’t go 5 miles an hour over the speed limit in Georgia, the Poe Poe is everywhere there.
Randy was a wild card. RIP.
Great story. #rallytime
I have driven 140 on a track. I will never do even close to 100 on a public roadway. Public roads are far too rough and unsafe, and you cannot predict what other drivers will do. Keep to the runways indeed!
drive a german car and you will want to always be at 100+ they are just so dam stable at high speeds
"Sir when was the last time you calibrated your radar gun?" 😂 def my favorite phrase of this vid
Cool to see footage of Randy.
