Oh yeah. Anything 25 or more over the limit in any state, as far as I know, and they're supposed to put you in cuffs immediately for public endangerment and wreckless driving.

Anything over triple digits
In CA. it is anything over triple digits is felony speeding. My brother is a CHP helicopter pilot and they have FLIR. It can spot anybody easily as day even if they are hiding in a bush off the road in the dead of night. But most helicopters top out in the 120's. I was once driving back from San Fran. to LA and was doing 105+ mph in a Dodge Durango no less, and I saw the police on the other side so I pulled off at the next station and got McDonalds for a bit. Didn't help though as later on I got caught for doing 98 mph going over the grapevine. .

I am sure we don't have FLIR in New Orleans or we would have been roasted by now. Anything in New Orleans relating to driving (roads, insurance, drivers, etc.) is notoriously bad. Just by the nature of how ghetto everything here is I am assuming NOPD will be the last police dept. in the country to invest in this FLIR technology you speak of.
I am very interested in what sort of cameras it uses to work. Can anyone explain it to me or show me links?

And about the helicopter issue, even if they top out at 120, they can fly higher and have a HUGE field of vision. They arent there to pull you over, only to provide "eagle eyes" for the cops on the ground. Just a quick radio ahead and you might have a roadblock over the next hill

Have a nice day

Stunnarific activities like this will land you in jail, hopefully sooner than later, as I despise being on roads when people like you drive like this.

If I could close this thread I would, it has far outlived its usefulness and the last thing I need is a flock of trolls coming down on me.

(A) You were dumb enough to do it.
(B) You were dumb enough to post it in a public forum.
(C) You should at least be smart enough to accept the public's confirmation of facts (A) and (B).
You're lucky to have not killed yourself or others.
Keep it up and you may not be so lucky someday.

i would rather ride with someone who is driving 150 and actually DRIVING, than with 90% of the other population out there who apparently believe their cars have autopilot... a great majority of accidents occur at or well below the posted speed limits ( if my memory serves me correct most fatalities occur around 35mph). Why? because people dont pay attention..
If you want to give someone the darwin award, give it to a deserving individual... the girl putting on mascara (spelling?), drinking coffee, talking on the cell phone and trying to shift into 3rd all at the same time ...then plowing into the car infront of her. (this happens!)
I have driven by people reading books, looking/digging around in the back seat, reading every sign off of the road, birdwatching,etc.. i hope you see what im getting at.
i am not trying to justify what i or the other individual who started this thread have done/do... i just want to

To all you guys that think you can justify this ******** with your driving skills or the mods on your car, I'll say it again....take it to the track. I think most of you will find it to be a humbling experience.

Yeah, sure there were a lot of "what if's"... What if a deer jumped out? What if there was a tree limb in the road? What if...
Fact is that race cars that compete at night have auxiliary race lighting, safety equipment, and drive on a closed course with relatively predictible conditions.
What infuriates me about this thread is that many of you joke and egg the author on, when in fact, there are some indirect consequences of his actions. Ever heard of insurance rates? Jackasses that drive like this are the ones that drive your insurance rates up since rates are based on statistics. Way to go buddy...

Autobahn. Isn't it true that there is no speeding limit there. I wonder if people actually do 150+ there?
Just curious.

so, Hedonist and GaryK....would you go complain everywhere if you lived in germany and someone flew by you on the autobahn going super fast? cause, i know many people that have driven far above 150 on the autobanh. are they bad people? it's not against the law...so, they are free to do whatever they want.

Out of curiosity, define "good driver"....
