Never gotten a speeding ticket, and I know there are folks that will attest that I do occassionally exceed the speed limit.
Now my wife....71 in a 45 crossing a bridge from Phila. Pleaded to obstruction of traffic (a non-moving violation), paid her fine and had no insurance issues.

Most cops are pretty nice to me and only give me 15 mph over since it's considered reckless driving if it's more than that.

170 in a 65.

I ran into a nice CHP on the eastbound 134 today. I'm in the left lane going 79, not much faster than anyone else. I look in my rear view mirror, and there he is, right on my butt. No radar, just pacing me. I gradually slowed to 70 and he pulled around me on the right and gave me a hand signal to slow it down. Thank you, officer.

Oh, sorry. My answer was to the question, fastest over limit and NO ticket. If I'd gotten nailed on that one, I'd probably still be on the pokey.
