I chatted with the CHP and he just gave me 101mph instead of 125+. Expect your fine to be about $1400, 2 points on your driving record, and you won't get traffic school because that type of speeding doesn't qualify.

Be polite to the judge. You rather get the 2 pts than suspension of license. As for radar, they pace you at that speed. They usually don't use radar at those ghetto cowlands haha.

BTW, I agree that you can smell the cows miles from there. I usually do recycle when I start hitting uphill because I know the cows are coming

This e-mail is being sent to you so that you will have a paper record of sorts from us about this case. If you have any questions about this e-mail, please call me at (818) 994-8888.

Thank you,

Mark Schraeder

woooooooohoooooooo.
my bail was something around $820... it's gonna be like christmas in august when i get that back
the lawyers are definitely worth it. they originally quoted me $3500, i got them down to $2600. considering the court was in a different county, and they'd take care of all the traveling and showing up in court and whatnot, and i literally had to do NOTHING, this was WELL worth it.

You paid these monkeys $2,600 bucks to get a few extensions for you and to drive a few counties over?

OMG, I'm in the wrong freakin business.

i've had the z for 55 days and an hour and half into the drive north.....

he clocked me at 122...... i suppose im grateful he didnt catch me when i hit 140+ a few times..double the speed limit must be even worse than 122. funny thing is as i was flying down the road trying to get the hell away from this idiot who thought it'd be funny to try to block me from going around him [um, not funny, not on a 2 lane truck-ridden freeway] i passed a bridge/onramp/offramp and was just screaming to myself in my head 'oh f*** oh f***' cuz i KNEW there'd be cops around yet at the same time i was crooning 'oh baby, oh baby' to the z cuz it's just TOO SMOOTH. im sure you guys know the feeling.

four miles down the road i glance in the rearview and almost jump out of my seat cuz there's a cop literally inches away from my bumper. and then his lights start flashing.

and of course, my luck, he pulls me over where the cows are [if any of you have driven that middle-of-nowhere stretch of the 5 you know what i'm talking about...that huge, packed, smelly, sad cow farm] and simply goes "why were you going so fast?" i reply as i point to the cows "to get away from the smell. " he doesnt find this amusing. he says "four miles back you can't smell this." i say "yeahhh you can, i've driven this route a million times the stink travels for miles." he goes "i've worked this route for five years. no."
i gave up.

so of course my feminine wiles completely failed me when i half-heartedly tried to play off that there's no way i was going 122. he was a man of remarkably few words and didnt seem interested in cleavage. maybe he was gay.

he did mark it as an infraction, not a misdemeanor. i dont even know what counts as a misdemeanor. i dont think i'd like to find out.

the time on the ticket was 4:20.
