Damn!! I got nicked by the police laser gun! The ticket just got sent to me today
along with this picture. $100 ticket for going 134km on a 100km freeway.
No other cars for at least 500 meters and driving felt really great! Oh well, I deserve it.
Nice pic they took, by the way...![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)

Besides, for that price you should have received 6 wallet photos and an 8x10

hehehe.. well, life goes on. In reality I was going, how should I say it, "a bit" faster ![Wink](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/wink.gif)
but by the time I saw the police car about 500 m ahead, there wasn't much to do but jam
on the brakes. Slowed down a lot before the photo was allegedly taken but
it could have been alot more! I think he shot me from 350m since by the last
two hundred meters, I was already around 100 (legal)
RE: pic. The pic was very clear - I took a snapshot of it with my W890i...
I must have jammed on the brakes hard since the picture shows my front
wheels compressing more than the rear......

your car looks nice ! here in SoCal we don't get photo tickets for speeding, only in some places they have cameras at intersections for people who run red lights...i got one about 5 yrs ago and it was $350 - lesson learned
. I dunno how much they are now, but i'm sure Arnold bumped up the fees.

I love the stance of your car in that pic -- hauling on brakes does help
I have similar pics from Germany, but they are in black-and-white. I get all excited about how good my car looks... I guess it eases the pain of the fine
