So i was hungry at 1 am and decided to head downtown for late night supper....on the way back, i took RT2 as usual as there is usually no one and no cops. I floored the pedal and did not realize that a car coming in from the arlington exit to my left was a state police car....marked. I was the only car except him and I kept flooring till i reached 155mph. The cop car was pretty far behind but I saw that he was driving really fast too trying to catch me. His light was NOT on. As I approached I-95 exit i slowed to about 70 and he caught up with me and then flashed his light. At this time i was scared shitless because at 2am I knew for sure I am going to jail and I'll have to bother someone to bail me out as I only have 20 bucks cash in my pocket. So I rolled all my windows down, hoping the cop will not see my tint and make comments and sat there shivering with the chilly New England wind blowing at my face and face white as sheet.
Cop came over and asked for my license and registration. I gave them and told him in my most pitiful voice that I am just a student and am not trying to harm anyone with the highway being empty and that I have alot of points in my driving record and asked him to go REALLY easy on me. Upon looking at my license, cop then proceed to ask which school I attend and I quietly gave him my school ID card. He looked at both cards and my registration and handed them back to me to my surprise. He leaned in and said," Young man you should be in jail by now but I am gonna be REALLY nice and let you off.
I understand that the car is powerful and excites you but you have to learn to be a mature and sensible driver. I will be patroling this highway often and if I catch you speeding again you will have to face the consequences. Have a good night" With that, he left.
Well I am one lucky guy tonight but I know that just a few minutes' thrill of speeding is not worth the trouble. Will keep that in mind next time I go fast.
see....finally I met a cop who's not an a**hole...

Hey man, lucky escape!
One time in my M3 I was working late (or early, like 1am on an emergency callout) in Guildford, Surrey.
Anyhow I finish the job and want to get back home - 130 mile trip, and I reckon I can aim to do this in as close to an hour as possible
Anyone who knows the roads of South East of England will know how good the sliproads to the M4 can be - in this case the A329 onto the M4 at J10 is a long sweeping left-hander - so I take it at ~120 and floor it, going up past 150 in fifth, hit sixth and keep going.
I failed to see the marked Volvo T5 coming up the outside lane - he follows me at around 155 for a minute or so before flashing and pulling me over.
At this point I'm thinking "jail sentence, career over" - absolutely sh***ing bricks.
Both cops get out of the car and approach - I get out also and immediately apologise, and say what an idiot I am. The cops gave me a ticking off "this is a powerful car but you can't respond quick enough if something goes wrong at this speed" etc.
They sit me in the car and I'm expecting my rights to be read, when the lead cop says "That's a beautiful car, and it deserves to be driven hard - BUT not on this patch - DO NOT do it again, because if you're caught, you'll be in jail, and you don't want that" - turns out both cops are M3 freaks, one has an M3 e30 EVO and the other an e36 - we chat about cars a while, turns out we're all members of BMW Car Club GB - I thanked them, and they let me go.
Now I cruise at 80mph - my lesson is learned and I appreciate my good fortune.

Over here if you're caught speeding above 40Km beyond the speed limit, get ready to hang up your license for at least a year plus fine plus maybe a jail sentence. Mind you, the speed limit here is max 90Km/h along the "Expressways"
