Below you'll find the speeds, locations, and vehicles involved in the twenty fastest speeding tickets in Texas in 2017. You'll see that almost three-fourths of the speeders were riding sportbikes (which some troopers knew enough about to list specific models), while the rest were rocking the kind of American muscle you always imagine screaming down a dusty Texas highway into the sunset—except for one intrepid soul in a BMW i8.

I wonder if any owners of the new Dodge Demon are aware of this list? :dontknow:

Or how about some of those Texas-Built Hennesseys? :bowdown:

 

[Grandpot]

Most of them were Crotch Rockets. Go figure!

 

[UtahPete]

It would be interesting to see what the fine / consequences of each turned out to be.

Those are some amazing machines.

[UtahPete]

No, not those machines ....:banghead:

 

[Chupaca]

How much.....

Sweet county revenue...:yikes: way back when it was $10.00 for every mile over the speed limit...I'm seeing thousands of dollars there. Glad they were caught before it went sideways....:bowdown:

When I first moved to TX in 1985 I made some remark about the crazy TX drivers and was told seriously that it was all those yankees that move to TX. I immediately called BS on that, I told the person I had driven in Kansas City, Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington DC, Los Angeles and New York City and other parts of all those states as well, and with the possible exception of New York City nobody drove like like that up there so why would they suddenly change when they moved here. That guy hasn't talked to me since.

I'm sure that USDOT has statistics by state for the worst drivers. Would be interesting to see.

If the speed limit was 200--some would still get tickets. The Darwin awards will always be with us. :thumbup:
