In North Carolina, anything over 80 is automatic revocation.

Which is absolutely stupid when the speed limit is 70 on freeways throughout the state. The whole state is a glorified speed trap.

(10) a violation of an applicable speed limit by a person driving in excess of 100 miles per hour. The person's license must be revoked for six months for a violation of this clause, or for a longer minimum period of time applicable under section 169A.53, 169A.54, or 171.174.

That's it? PSHHHHH.

He'll bite the bullet for 6 months. I'm sure Sidney Rice will give him rides, seeing as they are buddies and all.

[strike]Vikings[/strike]Professional athletes sure do get away with a lot, must be nice to disreguard the law in Minnesota and know you will still be able to play [strike]on Sundays[/strike], with a little help from their Viking-friendly judges.

I can't say I know about this, as I've only had a small speeding ticket. However, I DO know that almost any speeding ticket you get here in NC, especially if you haven't had an excessive amount, almost instantly gets bumped down a few levels, if not dismissed by the DA while standing in line at the courthouse. DA will just walk down the line and sign off on them if they are too busy.

So, to say that anything over 80 is automatic revocation isn't entirely correct, based on my experience. That's just probably something similar to the "maximum sentence" thing that never usually happens with a lot of crimes.

Of course tickets can be plead down. I should know -- I had a ticket for 83 in a 55 (sports car with a known defective accelerator pedal) plead down to a non-moving violation, since it was my first offense. But had it not been plead down, I would have lost my license, as the State Trooper was at great pains to explain to me.

I found out that if you don't speed, you won't get pulled over, or get a ticket.

When I told the trooper I hadn't realized I was speeding, I was actually being honest, but he wasn't impressed. A friend of my wife's had lent us his Mitsubishi GT3000 (a hot sports car) to go pick up our car, which was in the shop. He had warned us that the accelerator pedal was sticky and that he was going to get it repaired in a couple of days. It was true, too. In order to get past 35 mph, you had to literally floor the pedal. Also, if you've ever driven a GT3000, you'll know that the engine is whisper quiet, and I was used to driving a Honda Accord that the previous owner had souped up with an exhaust head to make it extra noisy. I was used to hearing my engine roar if I was going over 70. So it truly didn't occur to me until I saw the lights in my rearview mirror that I was driving excessively fast.

Yeah.. It's true. Especially in new sports cars now days.

I have a friend who's got a BMW (not sure which one right now), and he's told me that it's so fast, he doesn't even realize how fast he's going, regardless the street.

Not to take any of the blame from AP, but, hey.. It happens to the best of us.

C'mon Formo, Peterson got caught doing 109mph in a 55mph zone.
That "I didn't realize I was going that fast" excuse is about as lame as it gets. He "screwed the pooch"...plain and simple.

Peterson told The Associated Press on Thursday that he got a little speeding ticket. I need to be more aware of the speed I was going and not let it happen again.
Bullshit........Personal accountability!

That is reckless to the extreme. I don't give a rat's ass if he endangered himself.
He endangered the lives of many innocent people around him.

If indeed Minnesota law says that he should lose his license for 6 months....damn straight...take it away.

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
