Time to get a lawyer -
Ticket indicates admission, and he had to pace you at 100MPH...? Good Luck.. |

You don't want to know... really..... Group: Members Posts: 2,514 Joined: 12-September 04 From: Newport Beach, California Member No.: 2,743 |
I can prove that your worn out 1.7 1970 914 cannot sustain a speed over 90 MPH.
I have the math to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. This data will allow you prove the officer must of been wrong in his or his radar guns calculations. Read the Affidavit below To whom it may concern, I am Gary Chapman's personal mechanic from GEX motors. Mr. Chapman's 914 has been running on 3 cylinders for almost a year because of a leaky exhaust valve. Also Mr. Chapman's transmission has not been able to get into 5th gear for over the three years that I have worked on his car... Mr.Chapman's 914 is not capable of going 100 MPH. In fact I can't make it go over 70 - 75 MPH while testing the car 3 days before his ticket date. If you need mathematical and statistical data to prove this. I will forward the data to the court upon request. So obviously the officer is mistaken and the speeding ticket should be dropped by the court.

Holy Crap! What was the good news???
I saw a motorcycle cop peaking over the railing on the Stafford Road overpass last Friday as I got off to go to Lake Oswego. Sneaky little bastards. How did you even break away from traffic long enough to go 100 MPH there? |

man that sucks. I didn't think cops would try and grab you at that kind of speed.
That fine is why doing over 100 in oregon isn't worth it anymore. Base fine of a grand for any speed over 100 in this state. I had a friend get pulled over doing 140 in a WRX and he got about the same fine. Had it dropped to like $800 and his license was suspended for a while, but still it's a hefty price. Big difference between 95 and 100 in this state. |

Dude, Pay somone to help you fight this! I hear 100 MPH is magic number for insurance companies to put you in much higher risk category for a long time - at least in California that is case, based on conversations with a freind in insurance. My golden rule is to never go over 95 MPH. Your future insurnace costs will likely make the fine look small if this 100 mph ticket stays on your record.
