Default IS 350 and speeding tickets?

I recently bought a IS 350 and of course now have a tendency to speed once in a while. My neighbor told me last night that here in Florida if your caught going over 110 you can be arrested even on the highway. Has anyone been caught going over 100?

I think that's everywhere not just FL. I'm not proud to say this but I was ticketed for 101 on a 65. The reason I was ticketed and let go because it was a motorcycle cop and I have a M license.

If you get caught by a cop with a stick up his *** he can take you in for anything 20mph over the limit I think.

Speeding "a little bit" is 80 in a 65. If you are going over 110, that's more than "a little bit". If you want to drive those speeds, bring your car to the track.

^ Agreed. 110 is not 'a little bit'.

Legally, it is not "Recklass Driving" if you are simply speeding, but anything over double the limit is grounds for arrest. Also, depends what kind of zoning you are speeding in.

Yea, I got a 100 in a 65. It was the nicest day of the year in early spring. Cop was cool and only gave me a 84 in 65. Something about going 20+ you have to go to court. not sure though

The cop saved you more points and a bigger fine too.

A M1 is a license to ride a motorcycle. I guess the motorcycle cop was lenient towards him since he rides too.
