Excess of 100 MPH stays on your record for 7 years, will hike up your insurance substantially, and will require a mandatory court appearance. They can also consider it a misdemeanor versus traffic violation.
Gotta be smarter than that, buddy. Keep it on the track. Not worth the risk of killing someone (including yourself) or getting caught. Unfortunately, this is pretty severe.
Pepper your angus, good sir.
So your defense is you doubt the cop was pacing you because you were checking your mirrors the whole time and you were only at that speed for 30 secs? Were you at 120mph for exactly 30 secs or could have it been closer to 45 secs? What was the total duration you were above the legal speed limit? What time of day was this? Where did the cop car come from? When did you notice him? How many other vehicles were on the road? How close did the cop get before lighting you up?
So how fast were you actually going?
And what vehicle were you driving?
Amazed the officer could pace you at 120+, a Crown Vic or Impala would have been left in the dust. He must have had a Charger or SHO
you were doing 120 and he paced you? might wanna call bullshit on that... if he lies about pacing what else is he lying about ruins his cred. may not work for you but when i got pulled over on my bike i called bullshit and won in the long run (i was going faster than you) took about 5 court cases and didnt cost me a dime... i wanna see that crown vic catch up at 120 (meaning he would have to go 140 plus to catch up) then do 120 for a certain amount of time... and if you were going 120 why would he pace? dangerous and everytime iv been above 20mph over the lights were on instantly pacing was usually used in lesser occurances

insurance wont go up that much..i used to be in the ins game..
Like some people said i would get a lawyer.. u might have your lics suspended for 30 days. its only a 2 point hit on your lics. .. Fine might be around 1k.... lucky he didnt impound u
Exceeding 100 MPH is 2 points on your driving record and can also be deemed "reckless" which would bump it up to a misdemeanor. That would remain in his record for 7 years if it isn't considered reckless. He also may lose his license for up to 1 year which means that he'd have to have it reinstated via a SR-70 after the alloted suspension time is up which stays on your record for 3 years and also goes against you.
Please explain to me how this won't affect his insurance "that much".
at nationwide/allied premiums is based of the point system . This being a 2 pointer would only increase ins. $50 - $100 to a 12 month policy .. I have nationwide and when i got my DUI ( tougher offense ) my premium went up $150 for 12 months but then reduced after that.. what screws people the most when it comes to ins. is accidents

Are you kidding me? Both Impala and Crown Vic will do 140+
Pacing is a joke.
Unless the cop is right on your bumper and maintains a set distance in order to gauge your speed, it is impossible for him/her to know how fast you were actually going. Which means its not accurate, plain and simple.
Good luck, all you can do is try and beat the game.
It is best to ignore most of the free advice that you get here, hire the best Lawyer that your pocketbook can afford. Also, remember, in traffic court it is not justice that you are seeking, it is mercy. Good luck.
Get a lawyer that's in good with the county you received the ticket. Pay him well and move on.
As someone mentioned its all a game. And your not invited until you pay the right lawyer!
Fo sho mofo! My last Vicky (06) would hit that easily and both my Impalas I have had will go way faster.
if you feel good going above 100 in one of the impalas on anything other than a perfectly flat, straight strip, more power to you. they don't feel very confident at speed compared to the crown vics or chargers. no idea what the electronic or drag limit is on the speed, but they feel like they're coming off the ground approaching 100. pretty sure our hemi chargers are electronically limited to 145, no idea about the crown vics for drag/electronic limit.Are you kidding me? Both Impala and Crown Vic will do 140+
lol.Fo sho mofo! My last Vicky (06) would hit that easily and both my Impalas I have had will go way faster.
My Vics would do 140, my charger (V6)tops out at around 125.
