My worst one (and first ticket) was 76 in a 55 in 1979. Given that it was 21 mph over the limit, my license was suspended.

Being a rebelious youth at the time, I blew off getting it reinstated...

Flash forward to 1995. I've moved to another state, got a license there, and am on a cross-country trip when I get pulled over in Missouri. They run a check on me, and find out that I "have no valid license" (since you're not supposed to be able to obtain a license in one state when it's suspended in another).

I'm taken into custody, and ask what the long forgotten offense was. "The records don't go back that far, all we can tell is that you never reinstated your license".

After paying a "fee" of $50 to "reinstate" my license, I'm back on the road.

FWIW, here's one you guys might like. I'm calling BS on the 205 MPH, but the cops are sticking to it. Happened in my neck of the woods.
