Whats your worst infraction?-caught or not

Readin that topic about how we drive our cars got me wondering-

What is your worst traffic infraction that you have commited while driving the streets? I know pretty much everyone here has speed before, and I'm not looking for "Well one time I was going 40 in a 35" type stuff. I mean serious stuff you probably should have gone to jail for..

I'll start- its a toss up

1.)Street racin a souped-up Civic, went 110 in a 35, even had people on each of the street to make sure nobody would end up in our way. The worse part was I was on a "restricted use" license which meant I shouldn't even have been driving then. Oh yeah, of course I won the race..

2.)Racin a friends 03 Cobra on the highway, I was slowly pullin on him until I let off at 145mph..I figured that was fast enough, esp since our exit was comin up...


I'm not saying I condone street racing , just wondering what everyone else's stories are-

I'm really good on the street and as such I have a sqeakly clean record.

BUT....
Right after I bought my LS1 my wife's grandmother died in KY. We went down for the funeral and decided to get away one night so we went out and while on the empty interstate I got up to 135mph. That's the only time I've taken my car over 100mph on the street.

I've actually ran from the cops before. After getting clocked running 100+ in a 45, I decided to shut off all the lights and make good use of the backroads around here. I have lived here all my life, and I got away with it....so I guess I know them pretty good.

haha, you BA!

One time I was messing around with some beretta or some **** on the way back home with Adric... I dunno, 115 or somthing but we did it several times along the way. This wasnt an interstate either, it was some 2 lane highway. Here in MN, if you get caught going over 100 they revoke your license for 6 months on the spot.

The worst offense I got caught for was street racing. Some POS I shouldnt even have bothered. I was going like 60 in a 25, he pulled us both over and he gave me an unessessary acceleration ticket, cop was pretty nice.

Ive cleaned up my act since... Despite being pulled over 3-4 times this year, this upcoming weekend will be 1 year with no tickets .

when i crashed my camaro, i was goin 135 in a 35.

my only ticket ive ever gotten was spring break in my T/A, 71 locked on at(clocked at 86 tho) in a 40 mph. court and 8 hours of school.

have frequently played on the highway testing the cars "pull", go from like 60-110 and shut down.

one time i was on my way home about 4a.m. and in my home town there is a major chemical plant that is very highly protected since 9/11 (like army tanks and ****) well i was coming up on the main intersection leading up to the plant. across the street in a field i saw two of the patrol vehicles so i did a complete stop at the light and went and as soon as i took off both vehicles turned on their blue lights. these guys probably couldnt give me a ticket but could have held me until a real officer came to give me one. so ne'ways my cousin has been training or w/e to become a officer and he had just been telling me a few days earlier about working midnights doing ride-alongs. so i pulled over and sat there for a second and the vehicles just sat there. i got the bright idea thinking that it was my cousin just messing with me since i had done nothing wrong. so i started to do a burnout which turned out not to be the best idea. as soon as i started to do a burnout both vehicles came flying across the field after me and kinda scared me so i took off. neways i was really stupid for doing it and dont plan on doing it again. but i did get away even thought when i got inside my house they pulled up like a minute later spotlighting my house and car.

4 years ago, out to an SLP meet in Vegas, chasing a buddy of mine in his SOM Firehawk on Interstate 5 in and out of traffic going about 135 mph with the top down. The adreniline of knowing that one wrong move would have killed me... good times, good times.

Oh man ... Havn't got caught yet, but sometimes I just have to let my new Z loose. For example, YESTERDAY, took my roomate for what I call a "cruise". There is this extremely beautiful windey road that leads down into a canyon to the Snake River. Well, long story short, it was dumb but fun, I was doing 80-110 along this gorgeous perfect camaro road. I've never seen a cop there so I figured as long as I don't make a habbit out of it I'm okay. MAN it was fun though. I had my roomate gripping the car seat and dash for his dear life. My suspension does very well around those corners too!

I'm finding out how nicely my new car pulls in every gear. Anyway, normally I don't speed so rediculously fast on a windey road. But once and awhile is okay. Nor do I condone street racing.
