How about a break?

I have gotten a couple in the 95 mph range. Here is a story: I was coming home from a business trip from Minnesota to Chicago and in the middle of Wisconsin I had my 1985 Merkur XR4ti at 100 mph. I was passing a Ford Taurus and saw the radar gun hanging on the visor. I hit my brakes before the lights went on and never came off the brake until stopped. The cop was an alumni form the same school but I got the ticket for 95 in a 55 zone. I never deserved one more. I once went to court to fight a 93 in a 55 ticket and asked the judge to knock it down. He yelled at me that the cop should have given me reckless driving then yelled at the cop. This was years ago and the fine was $90.
