I almost let this slip by.

Did you get a speeding violation for going 93 mph?

Yah, afraid so. Maybe traffic school to get rid of it?

I am not complaining, I ran 90-120 just about all the way down there (post midnight) with no trouble, hit 140 a couple of times. the cars are seductive,
and capable of their advertised high speeds. 100 is jail speed, I think, so I guess I was lucky.

I would definitely try traffic school, but I'm not sure they'll let you.

When I fought a ticket recently, I won because the officer didn't show up, but I noticed that the judge gave people one last chance to opt for traffic school before he heard their case, and sometimes when the speed was too high relative to the posted limit, or in one case a woman was sited for tailgating, he wouldn't allow traffic school.

Jim-

Traffic school not possible for you in Cal. The cutoff is 25mph over speed limit. I am guessing you weren't in a 70 mph zone.

Of course, I suggest in that instance you get an extension first, when that runs out do a trial by dec, and if you lose get another extension, try to subpoena CHP records, and then go to trial.

Chances are you may win somewhere somehow.

Or, just pay your money and let it go.

You are right 100+ in Cal equals, 2 points, possible take you to jail, possible suspension by Court, and even worse DMV Nazi's will eat you alive (office of Traffic Safety)

DO NOT GET CAUGHT GOING OVER 100+ MPH in CAL (Don't ask me why I know) (

Thanks for the help. The citation was for 93 in a 70 mph zone.
He was sitting in the dark in the median, about 7:30 pm, and I went buy and saw the blue and red cherries light up, and the car turned around and he was after me.

It could have been much worse.
I am happy I was not caught going down there. I had left Stockton at 10 pm, so to get there, (to LA) I was running 90-120 mph, and hit 140 a couple of times. But it was about midnight to 2 am, and some car stayed behind me
all the way, I think some new Lexus or Acura, and a couple of times he tried to pass me at 120, but I wouldn't let him. Stayed with me all the way to the 405 split in LA.

These big Benzes are amazing at speed, just amazing. It never felt unsafe.
Just quite a bit of wind noise over 120 mph.
