Got pulled over last night at 1:15am going 113 (top speed) in my saturn last night. In a 35. In a construction zone. No ticket, no warning. Cop said "what the hell is wrong with you" i responded with, "my mom can't breathe and we are going to the hospital" he said back "you want an escort?" "hell yeah" So i was crusing at 100 (he wouldn't go any faster) and we got there in time. He said was that scary? No I know how to drive fast, my other car is a mercedes. Moral of the story, know your cars limits, be comfortable with it at speed, turn off the radio, concentrate, and you can drive like the car was engineered to be driven.

I'm glad your mom got to the hospital. Next time call an ambulance and don't try to claim that you and those around you are safe on public roads when you're running more than three times the posted limit. That's arrogance of the highest order, and you SHOULD be in jail right now.

the ambulance can be a little slow to arrive for my taste.

Glad the cop worked with you!

Hope your mother is doing well.

If I did that with my mom she would have a stroke! She thinks 2 car lengths at 55 is too close.
