Well, I got my slap for the 141 mph incident. Scary part is, I was on interstate with no traffic, going to an officer in distress call in a new Charger and it had more to give. Felt like I was doing 110 which I have done many times before - in the course of duty and pursuits. Another thing that scared me afterwards, was the fact I still had pedal left. Not sure what they will do but will surely have to be cognizant of the fact it will push the envelope. More officers are killed in car crashes than anything else, and I don't want to be one of them. Watching the road, talking on radio, etc, I really don't monitor my speedometer. When they told me how fast the computer had me at my first instinct was "no way"....."I would never drive that fast". I went to my own GPS and sure enough - it was right. Those cars are dangerous simply because they are capable of those speeds!
