140 in a 110 zone on the Hume Highway, automatic 1 month loss of licence. I believe that if you speed and you get caught you should cop it like a man. On another note however, i dont believe that 5kms over the limit, while technically it is speeding, should be penalised.
140 should be the legal limit on the Hume, if my old 33kw Barina could do it, it should be legal! Sydney to Melbourne in 8 hrs including a 1 hr stop in Pizza Hut at Albury
Iv'e had this happen twice before, they must think it's real funny. But hell so would i. Remmeber one night on the way home from work i had some clapped out ricer with 4 1/2 zorst trying to race me from behind. Came through my rouadabout flatstick 1st to 2nd and a cop coming the other way turned around in a hurry with lights flashing. Pulled into my drivway in a hurry and he rolled past at walking pace and hit his siren just to let me know hw was there.
haha- yeah, it would be funny for them- im glad i wasnt booked but i felt like a :fewl: for pulling over hehe

So should the Western Highway, with the exception of that twisty bit. 130kph all the way to Ballarat and 130kph all the way home with ease. Western Ring Road to Ballarat in 45 minutes.
Too many to list but the more memorable ones:
61 in a 40km school zone, at 9:29am (1 minute before zone finished, down hill at the end of the zone) in the bosses car
a couple of 119 in a 100 both dropped to under 15 over
136 in a 100 dropped to 15-30 over
132 in a 100 followed by 138 in a 80 (top of Ousley, down past the picton rd turnoff, and up the hill it changes to an 80) cop gave me one over 30 over
Never lost my license, never had it suspended in over 23 years of driving....
One big one when I was younger and more stupid than I am now, and a bundle of friggin' 3k's over around our street when there was big confusion over the changed limits and no-body could tell what speed our particular speed was because there was bad signage.
I copped my fines & points because well.. I was speeding. And that's all there is to it.
Highest speed over the posted limit, (caught) 137 in 100 zone about 1990
Highest speed over the posted limit, 220 in a 40 zone about 1979.
This was on the bruce highway in the middle of nowhere at about 2am, there was going to be roadworks the next day and they had already put the signs up, silly I know, but I was young.
Highest speed in a car, 254 , last year in NT on the barkly.
Highest speed I have ever been while driving, about 420 between mcquoid and laravale 1999.

Here is wisdom.
Let him that hath understanding count the number of the BEAST:
for it is the number of a F6 Typhoon; and its number is 0217.
Just some advice for people, if you get pulled over for speeding and they dont have any equipment that actually specifies what you were doing, then dont say how fast you were going just say you dont know. It will help if it goes to court and they mite knock it down.

Hey guys,
I got done on may 14th 2004 doing 144km/h on the eastern (100kmh zone) at 2 am in the morning with no cars around. Good cop, but i am currently serving a 6 month loss of license, and got pinned 6 demerit points. The cop picked me up 352 meters away on radar! $360 fine (2 weeks before cameron cloake got caught in the same place at the same speed. He lives up the road from me too!)
Another one i have had is for doing 65 in a 60 zone on my way to work, that one pissed me off more than my license being taken away. $125 fine!
So far, only the two, and hoping not to get caught again, at least not on my probationary license.

caught about 3 times, 80 in 60 zone for 2 of them, and when I was 18 doing 45+, cost me 6 points, 6 months off the road, and $500 dollars, how stupid of me.
