Wish I had known that and thought to use it. I got stopped 4 times for 5 violations on my 1977 Kawasaki 650-4 Custom. "The Z650 was introduced to the trade in 1976 as a 1977 model and was very popular. 64 bhp (48 kW) was claimed with a dry weight of only 465 lb (211 kg), making a top speed of nearly 120 mph (190 km/h) possible." - Wikipedia. Actually... it was capable of 126 mph. BTW, tickets in my Geo? no. Not that I don't deserve one or many.

Watch Colorado.Got stopped doing 70 in 60 zone in Chaffee County.hwy 285.No ticket.Missed photo op.He had given me a ticket years before so I didn't push it.lol Got all mine in my old Audi's.Once in another County, he said I stop giving warnings at 80.I was doing 90-100.He wrote me up for 85 cause 90+ is a felony here. But passed a cop in a snow storm on a double yellow with the Audi "snow machine". Asked him why he was going so slow.He said because of all the wrecks.I said,I know,I passed them all.Too funny.NO TICKET(87 Audi 5KTQ with studs,Subaru Rescue Unit #1) Amazing little Geo goes 75 all day long cept up hill,just not the Euro comfort. |

What do they consider excessive acceleration? What if your car can lay it down 0-60 in 2 seconds with out any tire squeal? What if you just have no traction? But accelerate really really slow? Spinning tires all the way, would that still be excessive acceleration? |

Depends on where you are. It's known as Display of Speed in some states. Oops, exhibition of speed... Edited by Metromightymouse, May 7 2015, 06:25 AM.

I Get Speeding Tickets All The Time And Get In Trouble With Police All The Time In My Geo Metro Automatic. It's Such A No Brainer. They Always Let The Silverado Guy Go. I Don't Even Have To Try. They Always Get Me! ALL COPS HATE GEO METROS! |

no, they don't. I once got let off when I passed a cop because my speedo was running slow. Another time I ran through a speed trap where the cops always set up to catch people who didn't slow down coming into town. Got pulled over, talked to, and let on my way. Another time I was rolling the fast lane 5 to 10 miles above the limit and a cop sitting in the median, just to ticket speeders, flashed the red and blues at me TWICE to tell me to slow down. Didn't even bother to pull me over. there is some other reason that you get pulled over. ..

Got a ticket for 67 in a 55, years ago. State Police had radar set up on a local road where the speed limit is 55 but the traffic is going 80. It runs alongside the railroad tracks, straight and flat. Good thing they weren't around when I had a Trans Am.
