I'm sorry to hear that your family got hurt. I can totally understand holding a grudge for something like that. I hold a grudge against drunk drivers for the same reason. I speed because it saves me a lot more than 2 minutes. I go from SLC to Orem back to SLC daily. Going 60 my commute takes over an hour. Going an average of 80 cuts my commute down to 30-40 min. Which comes to a total of 60-80 minutes per day. And those minutes are valuable to me. Now I know speeding is dangerous and it's easy to lose control of a vehicle, but it also depends on the vehicle. When I was driving my XJ I wouldn't feel totally safe or in control if I went above 75. Now that I have a new little Scion XA, I feel safe and in control up until about 90-95mph. I think if a person chooses to speed they should be responsible about it. I always slow down if there's bad weather or traffic. *shrug* it's a personal choice I suppose

anyways, this was about the UHP and what a good job they do.
I was not passing cars that were doing 65.
i was passing a semi in the passing lane who was probely goin 75 or so.
had i have been a jerk im sure i would be cussin about a ticket here.
but never getting a break before i thought it was cool :cool:
and its the least i can do to slow down.( a little )

I was doing 90-100 in a 65 in Lehi today and I saw a cop pointing the radar gun at me, but he never followed me.... Or if he did he couldn't catch up. :rofl: Either way I'm happy. I from SLC to Orem and back about 5 times a week and I at least go 80 the whole way

According to MapQuest Wright to Gillette is 39.35 miles. If you were able to do that in 12 minutes that is 197mph average :eek:

I got nailed by WVC for doing 67 in a 50 (Bangerter Hwy), with expired tags. The motor cop comes up and asks me if my plates were still out of date, I say yes. He comes back and says " I'll make you a deal, the speeding ticket will run you about $300, but if your kids (they were with me) will promise to make you slow down, I'll just give you the $40 expired registration ticket."

So, sometimes it's a good thing to drive on expired tags... :eek: :D

I dont feel above the law and I hope that I never hurt any body. I got pulled over on the old bullet bike on 215 in front of the E Center doing some where between 155 and 165. Pretty stupied I know, I was in a bad mood and got on the bike. I knew I shouldn't have but I did. Anyways the nice officer let me go with just a verbal. He didn't know how fast I was going just that he was doing 70 and he thought he was stoped when I went by. I dont have the bike anymore. I like the speed to much.

Its been 5 years since I have had the bike and haven't been back on one. I wont to but wont. I am just glad the officer was as cool as he was. He could have and probably should have taken me to jail for that one.
