110 Past A Speed Sign

This video was taken while I was in college and had my 2002 Camaro SS. I saw this speed sign everyday for a few weeks. Then days after school let out for the summer, I had the idea of seeing what would happen if I went over 100 MPH past it. The results = 110 blanked it out, however the a cop was coming to pick up the speed sign and busted me doing 95 in a 45. I saw him and got on the brakes hard but couldn't get out of this one. At least the cop was cool and didn't take me to jail. I was totally honest with him about what I was doing and I know that helped. He called me stupid, and I agreed... lol! The ticket was $290.00. Go here to see that the sign was in fact on just before this video as shot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04INPeH2NKs Sorry about the poor quality. I only had a cheap digital camera at the time.

@mazdasspeed - Dang, that's rough!

Daammmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! That had to suck bro! What are the chances of the cops on their way to pick up the sign just as you was doing your test. You should have told him you was doing a documentary for school on speed signs! Atleast you did not go to jail so that is good!

[jtemails]

@chulilum - Good idea, but school was out for a week or so already. That's why I did it because the campus was empty for the most part.

You got caught because the sign radioed ahead for backup!

[jtemails]

@clem8417 - just ahead were many traffic lights.  I figured pulling over was best.

@mazdasspeed illinois is ridiculous with speeding they gave me a 120 ticket for doing 70 in a 55 not even messing around just driving with the traffic

@jtemails he thought i was being a smartass til i asked him would you rather have me lie?

[paladain55]

@mazdasspeed dang that sucks. i average 38mpg on a 250cc bike that normally gets 75mpg. i go 55mph in a 30mph like everyday, no ticket so far. worst i ever done was 95 in a 15. its addicting. lol :P

[jtemails]

@MajestikSkillz - I'm glad you weren't arrested! Were you honest with the cop? They usually are nicer when you are.

@boozer95 - I know right! If I would have just gone out there a few minutes earlier everything would have been fine.... FAIL
