That's good, but yeah still costs.
Last ticket I got was in 2010. That year I got 2. Both got knocked down to "defective vehicle", but still cost on the insurance rates. Dropped off a few years back if I recall.
Edit: Actually I remembered that wrong. I got 3 tickets that year.
The first ticket was going 67 in a 45, the Morrison officer who pulled me over wrote the ticket wrong. Got it down to the next lowest point level, but that was as good as they were going to deal, so I payed. Dropped off insurance a few years back.
The 2nd was a douchebag Park County officer (who got fired later I found out just for his overall shittiness). He pulled me over in my neighborhood (dirt roads) and was trying to say he saw me sliding all over the road (because apparently I was driving "too fast"). I said he was full of s*** and this was a clear cash grab. Had the courthouse not been in Fairplay (the real South Park), and me working in downtown Denver at the time (almost 100 miles between the 2), I might have gone and fought it, but schedule just would not allow. Talked to Park County and they knocked it down to Defective vehicle.
3rd was again in my neighborhood. The road that you take to exit the neighborhood goes downhill at a steep grade. The stick-shift Jeep I normally drove did a good job of holding gear at a speed. The stick shift Hyundai Elentra I was borrowing that day did not. So I ended up going 40 something in a 25 by the time I got to the bottom of the hill. The cop was hiding out and nabbed me. Once again the ticket was written wrong. I talked to Park County again and it got knocked down to a Defective Vehicle again.
Outside of that, got pulled over with the ol' Jeep when some lights were out, and when I accidentally let the tags expire without realizing it. Neither times got a ticket. The only reason I got out of the expired tags ticket was because the officer who pulled me over knows my sister and he saw my address and made the connection.

Sounds about right.
I do love me some lobster. Definitely always get some when I am by the ocean and can get it fresh.
Colorado? Eh, not so much.

That's it! Time for you to hand in your licence and sell you CX-5 (wink)
Seriously bad luck mate.

Mine topped out at 124 indicated with cc on (stops at 124)
Apparently 126mph is the max so you are pretty much there

Had to deliver something to my father's doctor for him. They have a small lot, maybe 15 cars and there were three CX-5's, including mine. No, 2017's and no CR-V's.
Will take a bit for the 2017 to been seen more and more on the roads
Car and Driver says the 2016 is governor limited to 120 MPH and the 2017 is drag limited to 130 MPH.
Unobtanium may need to trade up for a faster daily driver.(boom08)

Yeah, no kidding, but it sure made for lots of lively discussion.
(iagree)
We will never hit those speeds legally here so no issue [emoji3]
