Before I got my car painted, I got my reckless driving ticket (later reduced) while doing 35 mph.
Some shmuck doing 27 in a 35 zone... I was stuck, 'fraid I'd run out of gas crawling around like that, so I hit it to make a quick pass...
well, that was a double yellow... the road was widening from 2 to 3 lanes to accomodate a turn lane later on, so there was lots of room, but I ended up almost head on with a cop who had just turned into oncoming traffic.
Couldn't wiggle out of this one!
And I think that was a good thing. Thanks to this officer I got a bit wiser, otherwise I'd be already dead.
I took the safe driving class and now I drive a mile away from the car in front, and I don't get road rash.
In a controlled environment (cool rally), I got up to 190mph on some nevada backroads. With a lamborghini though.
We were at 120+ for about four hours straight, with spikes at 140, 160, 180... raah, truck your car there, make a big donation to the cops' charities, and then go fly low. Best memories ever.
We also gave people rides, on a 2 way farm road... one car going 140mph one way, another car coming back, going 140mph the other way... 280MPH differential speed!!!! Unbelievable sounds! Open cockpits of course. That yound guy in the passenger seat was shaking!
