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...

Anyway, be careful with your driving; and continue being a man. (I have not had a ticket for speeding ever although I have been stopped. Gray hair helps.) When I do get a ticket, I will just figure my time is up--considering all the tickets that I did not get.
I guess I should, however, take you to task for such fast driving. We never know when someone will 'appear' in front of us. I do not want to see you (or any of us) on the evening news.
Nice car, btw.

Here's a story for y'all. My wife has 4 sisters and when they were younger and didn't have their own cars yet, they'd each borrow dad's car. One day the police showed up with a pretty low quality speeding photo and demanded that her dad identify who it was that was driving. He really had no idea who it was and couldn't tell from the photo as it was such a low quality image it could have been any of the 5 girls and none of them owned up to it. The police dropped it and left.

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

at least half a kilometer away so....
Oh well, at least I got another pic for my signature pic -- once I scan it that is!

Mike, Send them a picture of your money since they sent you a picture of your car.
Then they might arrest me for forging fake money!

My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats
ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.
34kph too fast and only a hundred bucks?! Damn, if you do that here, you'll pay AT LEAST 250 euro's.
134 is not fast, we do that speed in traffic. Today's cars (not only bimmers, but almost all of them) can safely do 160. Speed limits all over the world should be upped to at least 150.
Luckily for me, Germany with it's great autobahns is only 15 miles away for me
(Every bimmer deserves to be driven at top speed at least once in it's life)

Wish are tickets where that cheap.
At least in WI we don't allow camera radar enforcement or red light cameras.

Might want to spend some money for a Valentine1 (V1) -- it's a RADAR Locator and it will detect MOST emissions. But, a LASER beam is just a point-and-shoot operation and will most likely catch you instantaneously...
I can attest that it's helped me in the past.... Also, it can be "hardwired" into your E60 with only 10 mins of effort. Just do a search for Valentine and you'll find the DIY.
