I got that too. I couldn't believe I was pulled over, SINGLED OUT from a crowd of faster moving vehicles(joys of driving a German sport sedan). 37 in a 25 zone. Got off with a warning, I had an excuse "OH I just got my tires replaced and my speedometer needs to be recalibrated tomorrow. I honestly thought I was going the speed limit.
I was at 35(figured I was safe) according to the speedo, but these old electronic speedometers seem to lag behind on acceleration by 5%. My GPS verifies that with 70 - 80 mph times in 2 seconds and NOT around 4 like the speedometer read.
NEVER EVER speed by yourself, if its one thing I've learned. As Hatterasguy mentioned, find a rabbit and follow him as fast as you want to go. In my case I watch traffic up ahead for brakelights(signaling cops), and now that I have a new radar detector, I have an extra precaution.
YEAH triple digit plus speeds here I COME! Time to add some more videos to the collection to show some of you guys just HOW crazy these people really are. Everyday I95 speeds are similar to the ones found in World's Wildest Police Videos.
BTW, my excuse if I were caught at a high rate of speed. "Really officer, I had no idea! I was just following the car in front of me."
