I'd throw your *** in jail if you were going 100+ if I were a cop. I'm pretty sure other cops would too (dunno the facts, just stating an opinion).

 

If you represent an danger to the public because of your speed, yes you can be immediately arrested.

Weaving through traffic
Speed Contest (racing)

are the two easiest ones to get you into a pair of cuffs.

 

They came after me at 130+, I got a ticket for 139 in a 70 lol.

 

Take high speed to the track, doing 140+ on any public road ( Except Autobahn ), is extremely dangerous to the driver and public.

CL doesn't endorse road racing and speeding!

 

^Hey is that avatar lightning?? ^^

 

Yep, 13-2, can't wait!

 

That happened to a friend of mine, he was flying down the highway, doing 140+ (on a bike) and when he got to his exit, 20 cops waiting for him had the exit closed and they all threw their lights on

 

That speed is still dangerous.

Many tourists for example come to Germany hoping to drive on the autobahn and when they're finally on it they're not used to the high speeds and more importantly aren't familiar with the local rules and regulations. For example, overtaking on the right is illegal and in this case extremely dangerous as well since you have people merging from the fast (left) lane into the slow (right) lane all the time.

Most Germans don't even speed on their autobahns. They generally cruise at a leisurely 130 kph.

 

At that speed, anywhere in the US is reckless driving. even if you don't go to jail, you'll lose your car.

 

In Thailand, it depends on the car. If you have a nice imported car (300% tax), ie Lexus/MB/BMW (all cost over $USD100k), you're unlikely to get harassed.

Now if you're driving a pickup truck or a Corolla, you're gonna get fined about $USD 6. Yeah, you read that right, six dollars. Technically, you can get pulled over for no reason and "fined." But ones I figured out the currency difference and that it was only a few bucks, I just consider it small tax I'm happy to pay for the level of enjoyment I get (on the few good roads we have).

 

Around here, I'm sure they would just radio the car in. However, the local police department has some pretty powerful patrol cars now. They've got a few Camaro SS', SRT8 Challenger, new Charger, and the new 5.0 Mustang. Most guys can't outrun those.

 

Yeah, the fines in Asian countries amaze me. We got busted in the Philippines for riding a tricycle without a license and pulling an illegal maneuver. Got taken to the station and yelled at for a couple hours, and then released with a 150 peso fine. That's like $4.

 

Tell your friend that there is only one way to find out

 

Gotta beat 670,616,629 mph.

Yes, in Houston they will put you so far back in the jail they will have to pump light to you.

 

^ Something's gonna get pumped, you can bet on that!
