Speeding tickets in North Carolina are just a money grab. I have never been ticketed in my life (I drive for a living) until I was in North Carolina. I showed up for court and was told if I go to defensive driving school, and pay double the fine amount, they will make it a non moving violation so it wouldn't be any points and raise my insurance. If that's not a money grab, I don't know what is.
No state in the east is worse than Virginia for speeding tickets and fines. Plus, they banned radar detectors too, making it even harder to avoid speed traps. But those Virginia cops dont play around at all, trust me on that.
I live in Raleigh and the cops here are super nice and extremely compassionate. They help so many people! I work at a hospital and they work off duty with us. Coming from Las Vegas, it’s no comparison..
Mike - since you have the dash cam video, you can count how many white lines on the road you are passing over a given period and then figure out your speed. The lines are each 10 feet long (it’s a federal guideline, and although they seem much shorter, if you measure them you’ll see that they are 10 feet long) and they are spaced 30 feet apart. So each time that you pass a white line and the space between the next, you’ve travelled 40 feet. Rate x Time = Distance, and thus Distance/Time = Rate. I counted 16 white lines and spaces in 6.5 seconds. That works out to be 640 feet in 6.5 seconds, or roughly 98 feet/second. That translates to roughly 67 mph (66.8 mph). Use that dash cam video as it will get you out of the ticket! If my calculations help get you out of this ticket, I think I’ve earned a new AutoVlog t-shirt!
@@tahditon9408you’re assuming that police is going to have a video record of police directly shooting speed radar at Mike on a bridge hahah a chance of them showing up to the court with a video evidence is ZERO. Mike will get this case tossed out by his lawyer.
North Carolina is famous for cherry picking out of state cars for tickets. You were going with the flow of traffic but they picked you because of your plate.
As is Virginia. Same laws. 20 above or anything over 80 is reckless driving. And for some reason I believe he was over speeding. If it happened to him before in NC he should have known.
@keralistyrus4241 Nope. That is spoken from the ignorance of leftist government stooges who put code over actual common sense. Going over speed limits that are not justified, my being going over the speed limit -- however it is not necessarily "speeding' in the sense that it is reckless for the conditions.
@keralistyrus4241 Seems to me you and so many others have lost the ability to think critically. Many factors make things dangerous or not, a law by itself can not determine danger.
@@scottsthaname1They should send them over to where I live in AZ because the police here are spread so thin that the only time you ever see them is after a crash or a shooting. Otherwise it's a total free for all out here and everyone just goes as fast as they want and 99% of the time they get away with it. The police here are a complete joke as is the whole justice system.
I recently got a speeding ticket in NC on my way to NY for driving 100 in a 70mph. I showed up at my court date which was held at a community college (weird) and the DA offered me a 79 in a 70 with the reckless driving dropped. I accepted, paid $191 fine at the courthouse and that was it.
This means that the government really couldn't make a case for "100 in a 70" and so tries to get the citizen to pay the tax anyway by changing the accusation to "79 in a 70" which is less likely to cause the citizen to get a lawyer involved. The purpose is to collect the tax, not to improve traffic safety. If the government was really serious about stopping "speeding" that is totally safe under appropriate conditions, it would revoke the driver licenses of "speeders" instead of extorting them with literal Highway Robbery.
I lived in NC for 47 years, driving 39 of them. I have a VERY heavy foot and know a LOT about NC's revenue game of writing speeding tickets. That trooper likely used LIDAR (laser) to measure Mike's speed. LIDAR is VERY accurate and can pick a vehicle out with dozen's of other vehicles nearby, if operated correctly. If he didn't use LIDAR, he probably used VASCAR which is a fancy name for a computer that calculates speed based on y distance travelled during x amount of time. With the density of traffic around Mike, I HIGHLY doubt that radar was used. If you listen to the Trooper's conversation, he stated that he obtained Mike's speed by the bridge. That's where they sit with their LIDAR guns. I've seen it hundreds of times in NC. They are ruthless. They key to remaining ticketless in NC is HIGH situational awareness AND a good laser jammer and radar detector. With that combination, odds of being cited drop exponentially.
@@TheDemockery Having a radar detector is still better than not having a radar detector. I got hit in King George, VA with LIDAR, and thankfully I wasn’t really driving that fast. And yes I had my radar detector up and running. By the time that LIDAR hit me, and my detector went off, it was too late! I have three cars, so it gets pricey when you think of installing and running jammers to compliment your detector!
Same goes for Troopers down here in Texas. They're always hiding out, or around the blind corners along avenues/thoroughfares. The really bold ones hide in plain sight and almost always still get their perp.
Here in the UK it's much worse, there is no pulling you over, the cameras are on every corner, on every road and on every highway. If you have the balls to go over the speed limit by 1-5 miles you are done and you will receive a letter from the police for prosecution like you committed a heinous crime. Do it 4 times (3 points each time, and keep in mind you have no other points for another offence like holding a mobile phone while driving) and you lose your licens, get disqualified for 6 months with a conviction that will make your insurance go up 200% like you just started driving yesterday at 18. And if you dare to do it again, then say goodbye to ever driving again for at least a year with another conviction. Criminals do not get caught like the drivers do in this country. I think having a police to pull you over is a blessing because it's a chance, here in the UK there is no chances.
@sparko58 yea man, it's not fun living in the UK anymore! The amount of cameras on the roads is just insane. Let me explain, they will have a 50mph one and on the same highway about a mile away or less, they will put another one 40mph, then 50mph, then 30mph then 50mph all that in one road in the name of safety or works. So you can not even be safe on cruise control anymore. Getting distracted is your fault! It's a money machine and has nothing to do with safety.
So generally I go up to the speed limit on my GPS (which is usually about 10% over on the speedo) but yeah any more than that and you're highly likely to get done by a camera, my car nav has camera locations in it and warns me but even if you're not really trying to speed it's distracting.
I live in NC and been stopped at 20-ish both times I got a ticket. You don’t have to go to court. Just hire an attorney to represent you and plea for improper equipment. You’ll be fine. It’s not automatically reckless driving. But can be written for it.
@@christiann7246 I used iticketlaw. It was $100 for them they got it dropped to being an issue with how the cluster reads. I don't remember the term right now. I think it was $280-300. No points though. I bought a uniden r4 radar detector shortly after
Yeah for real. When he hydrolocked his c63 I knew was a dumb driver. And then he always cries to his viewers like some sort of victim and acts surprised. Dude is a child trapped in a man’s body.
When I lived in Charlotte I got a ticket in town for 51 in a 35 (a thoroughfare so it's easy to get going too fast), showed up in court, plead guilty and the judge knocked it down to 5 over. Seemed like everyone that showed up and was respectful got reductions. Now I just run a dash cam and drive the speed limit as best as I can.
It feels weird seeing a video of Mike It has been like 4 years since I last watched a video on this channel since the days of the c 63s and the water damage and today he came to my mind and I was blown away by how much he changed and by how much time has flown by your channel was one of those that inspired me to be a car guy thank you so mich for that
Local Raleigh NC Here. NCSHP if you get pulled you get a ticket, they never give warnings but if you got it in Wake County or around Wake County Jeremy Cotten Law Firm will get it reduced to a equipment violation and his fee is under 100 dollars
Hey Mike, does that amg v12 Benz have cruise control? I only ask because if I didn't set mine at 9 over I'd be getting pulled over as much if not more than you do. Lol. Let us know what happens
You can calculate your speed using d=(r)(t) while considering the curve of the road. Just find out the distance of the lane markings and the distance in between them.
Dude I live in NC and if you got pulled over there is a good chance you where speeding weather it be 21 over or 19 over..Keep your speed no more than 9 over and and you won't ever get hit by NCHP...I drive a TRX and GT3 RS with 0 tickets...
Move to Nevada if you want to speed and want a state with great benefits and strong car culture. A group of 3 friends and i were caught by nevada highway patrol all doing 110-140 mph, in a 991.2 Turbo S, Lotus Evora 400, and a Huracan 610-4. We saw him behind us very distantly with lights and sirens on, so we pulled over and waited for him to catch up. When he arrived to us, he literally just wanted to check out all of the cars and was the coolest dude ever! Ive had several pullovers for high speeds and have never once gotten an actual written ticket! F north carolina, keep up the good content!
After years of not being very restrictive of my speed, and then getting my first ticket. I realize now that driving the speed limit is a lot harder than it seems. Seems to be the same for a lot of people in my area... if I'm in the right lane going 45-50 in a 45, everyone else is flying by going probably about 65+ mph. And this is in a 4 cylinder car. Can't imagine how hard it is in a v12. When I had a 600CC bike, I used to barely move the throttle and go like 40MPH. Bro. The later part where you said you were caught in Georgia and they said they got you with laser going 90. THE EXACT SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME IN GEORGIA. I have a speed tracker that shows I was going about 83MPH when they said I was going 90MPH. I never got a ticket before so I didn't argue with the officer about it. But in Georgia if you go 85MPH + on the Highway you get an extra Super Speeder charge which is +$200. And if you go about 15MPH+ over the speed limit you get points on your license, and it will be reported on your driving record.
Don’t ever ask them how fast you were going. Then they are on camera saying how fast they clocked you. Just let them do the talking and don’t validate anything they say.
The penalties vary by state. Some places you can drive away with a ticket for going 140 mph. Other places you will be physically arrested for driving 30 mph above the posted speed limit. It all just depends on where you are and how serious they take traffic offenses.
13:15 Thats exactly how I knew my dad got a ticket in his Z06... Kept seeing letters with his name from tons of different attorneys over a course of a week 🤣
Welcome back to NC! Tell your friend to stay off 440 and 540 with his Lambo! Them people are crazy! When I was driving tractor trailer, I was told Virginia is 11 over for reckless. I found out on 77 highway coming out of the last tunnel heading south. Lol
But sometimes I wonder what's the point of buying a super car in the United States with all those speed limits and the police coming after you all the time. Here in Germany on the German Autobahn it's a little different situation. Having a fast sports car makes more sense. But in America to get some satisfaction, you would have to go on weekends to some track. Of course you know that it is also a certain “status symbol” to show that you have achieved something in life. Let's say a little bit like looking at the time on a watch that costs $50 and on a watch that costs $100,000. They both show you the time in the same way.
@@aris1956Police leave you alone if you set the cruise at 5 over the posted limit and stay in the right lane. May not sound like "fun", but it keeps attention off of you. Super car ownership in the US these days is basically the automotive equivalent of owning a sport bike/crotch rocket. Way too much power for the street, but people want them for the attention and conspicuous consumption element. Aside from a track day, they are just another car when out on public roads.
Mike~ actually my jag XK-R with a Supercharged V8 sounds exactly like an angry Tiger when in Dynamic Sport mode shifting at 6000RPM. Growls, Cracks, pops….angryyyyyyy. Love it.
We've mobile cameras here. Vans pop up all over the place. Was out last Monday and have no idea how fast I was going when I passed the van (empty motorway and was momentarily distracted, but know I was definitely over). It's just over a week since and am waiting to see if anything arrives in the post. 3 points & €160 fine. Automatic unless you contest and bring it to court. If you don't pay within 28 days it automatically jumps to €240. Just hope I was within the "margin of error".
Gotta say I’ve always thought the perfect car 4 u would be the Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered. Very unique a flying machine and generally an all around awesome machine!✌🏻
nc, worst state to drive in. its a racket, they dont care about safety, they just want money. glad i moved out of nc, got tired of being hassled myself over dumb shit.
I'm a 52 yod black man and I've done 170 mph on a 2011 Ninja zx14. Just south of Atlanta. I've gone 145 mph at least 5 time in one day driving a rented 2019 392 Charger. Just south of Atlanta. I used to hit 150 mph every Sunday on I-20 in Atlanta. I've never been pulled over for doing any of this. If you only speed on level straight roads away from bridges. You want get pulled over.

I live in North Carolina and you got to watch out for them state troopers I got pulled over by a state trooper one time and the trooper said I was doing 58 in a 45 but I was actually doing 50 but I got it knock down to improper equipment
It varies from state to state. (NY example = trafficsafety.ny.gov/penalties-speeding ) Some combination of fines and points is what happens if you plead guilty. If you fight the ticket, the outcomes are usually more favorable depending on your individual circumstances. A repeat offender will likely pay more than someone who's never had a speeding ticket, and a repeat offender may still get points, albeit reduced, where the first time offender may get the charges reduced to a non-moving violation and therefore no points are added.
@@brickisland6353 yes technically an a-hole judge could do that but if he hires a lawyer from that county then the lawyer can get the charge reduced to an "equipment violation" which will not put points on his license and won't require him to attend driving school

NC State Troopers will give their own mom a ticket. If you get pulled over by one, you're getting a ticket.
Insane AMG !! ❤❤
Hey Mike, don’t want to be that guy…but winter is on its way. I know we feel the same about it 😂
If I was you I would show that video that you were going with the flow of traffic. That's crazy.
He wasn't going with the flow. He was catching that truck in front of him.
Dont forget court date tomorrow,, damn cops ,, he just like your car,, lol good luck buddy , i think u be ok..
Don’t ever ask them how fast you were going. Then they are on camera saying how fast they clocked you. Just let them do the talking and don’t validate anything they say.
86 is literally the speed people drive on the highways here in mass. I got pulled over going 117 and it was just a very hefty ticket. No court date
The penalties vary by state. Some places you can drive away with a ticket for going 140 mph. Other places you will be physically arrested for driving 30 mph above the posted speed limit. It all just depends on where you are and how serious they take traffic offenses.
Did 99 on I20. The car was so smooth it didn't feel like it
What an experience at the dealership. Can imagine
I bet youre insurance loves you lol
You said coupé not coop - sheesh I'm so impressed bud!!!👌🏼🤣
Your can hire a lawyer to go to court for you. That way you don't have to drive down there Mike.
He could also not speed
Did you not hear him talk about ticket attorneys in the video
@@98wytebird hey, but I wrote my comment before Mike said that
@truckercowboyed2638 mind your own business sheep 🐑
Wifey is right again. Don't speed honey! Lol
If you’re pulling away from everyone you’re not going the flow of traffic 😂
13:15 Thats exactly how I knew my dad got a ticket in his Z06... Kept seeing letters with his name from tons of different attorneys over a course of a week 🤣
Welcome back to NC! Tell your friend to stay off 440 and 540 with his Lambo! Them people are crazy! When I was driving tractor trailer, I was told Virginia is 11 over for reckless. I found out on 77 highway coming out of the last tunnel heading south. Lol
Nope. It's 20 over in Virginia.
Well there is a thing called cruise control Mike just so u know lol love ya brother
But sometimes I wonder what's the point of buying a super car in the United States with all those speed limits and the police coming after you all the time.
Here in Germany on the German Autobahn it's a little different situation. Having a fast sports car makes more sense. But in America to get some satisfaction, you would have to go on weekends to some track. Of course you know that it is also a certain “status symbol” to show that you have achieved something in life. Let's say a little bit like looking at the time on a watch that costs $50 and on a watch that costs $100,000. They both show you the time in the same way.
@@aris1956Police leave you alone if you set the cruise at 5 over the posted limit and stay in the right lane. May not sound like "fun", but it keeps attention off of you. Super car ownership in the US these days is basically the automotive equivalent of owning a sport bike/crotch rocket. Way too much power for the street, but people want them for the attention and conspicuous consumption element. Aside from a track day, they are just another car when out on public roads.
Cruise control is more dangerous than speeding. Not a good idea, keep you less aware of the changes needed based on what's happening.
@@RysterARCEE You hardly need a supercar to go way over the speed limit in most areas of the U.S.
65MPH freeway speed limits should be changed. That’s some 1991 type limit. Bump it to 70 or even 75. Of course it’s an easy way to generate revenue.
I bought Pirelli tires and they held up fantastic. Love the car!
AutoVlog, don’t you use Radar Detectors?
Stop driving so fast bro. Your family loves you.
Mike~ actually my jag XK-R with a Supercharged V8 sounds exactly like an angry Tiger when in Dynamic Sport mode shifting at 6000RPM. Growls, Cracks, pops….angryyyyyyy. Love it.
Welcome to North Carolina
Best portable tire filler is a Mikita that uses the 18v drill batteries. Big truck tires fast and no problem..
Best car ever!! Thanks for the video, enjoyed it 😀
Oh wow..... definitely keep us updated.
We've mobile cameras here. Vans pop up all over the place. Was out last Monday and have no idea how fast I was going when I passed the van (empty motorway and was momentarily distracted, but know I was definitely over). It's just over a week since and am waiting to see if anything arrives in the post. 3 points & €160 fine. Automatic unless you contest and bring it to court. If you don't pay within 28 days it automatically jumps to €240. Just hope I was within the "margin of error".
Sucks that your dashcam didn't get the speed. I use an OBD logger to track my speed, saved my in plenty of pull overs in North and South Carolina
Gotta say I’ve always thought the perfect car 4 u would be the Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered. Very unique a flying machine and generally an all around awesome machine!✌🏻
Uniden 3 or 6 radar detector haven't had a ticket in 6 years, fast cars need love 2
Speeding, what , me ? No way sir 😂😂
I use that same cordless tire inflator on my 2014 C350, it is a great tool!
nc, worst state to drive in. its a racket, they dont care about safety, they just want money. glad i moved out of nc, got tired of being hassled myself over dumb shit.
What course did you play?
In my neck of the woods! Love it!
It's sick that you've got the Mercedes with the Pagani Huayra engine! Sounds amazing!
I'm a 52 yod black man and I've done 170 mph on a 2011 Ninja zx14. Just south of Atlanta. I've gone 145 mph at least 5 time in one day driving a rented 2019 392 Charger. Just south of Atlanta. I used to hit 150 mph every Sunday on I-20 in Atlanta. I've never been pulled over for doing any of this. If you only speed on level straight roads away from bridges. You want get pulled over.
Obey the law. Keep under 80mph
Yeah right. I don’t think you was going 86. That cop just wanted to make sure he made his quota
awwww dude you were recording when you passed under the Winston Salem / Mt Airy sign on I74 Lived in Winston most of my life but family home in Mt Airy
5:02 the g class door sounds like slamming fridge door not like valt
What a beautiful automobile, a beast.
Get a radar detector coming through nc you need it
Oh you got pulled in Graham/Burlington area. State troopers love hiding off the ramp or sitting on the bridge clocking people. That sucks.
Wife is right ! How about you don’t speed? Sorry wife, I’m hauling ass!😂😂😂
Nothing will beat the speed of the Milwaukee m18 inflator
Bit that small thing sure packs a punch
The Milwaukee M12 Compact Inflator works great for me.
I think he said he just wrote you “for the speeding” or so it sounded like he was giving you a break
I love the window feature that opens the back one so them can close the front
Just gotta stop speeding bro not that hard
Never!!😈
And be glad it aint VA even if the speed limit is 70 anything over 82 is automatically reckless
May I ask how much you’re paying for insurance...?
Always fun to watch Uncle Mike getting pulled over hahhaha. Legend!
Love the plates🔥💪👍
It’s actually hard to get a ticket in NC unless you are just completely unaware of what you’re doing.
Yep I agree...I live and have lived in NC for 30 years with 0 tickets...if you stay no more than 9 over your gold...
@@TRX202114
@@TRX2021 Waze app and a radar detector and they never get you
they probably target out of state drivers. Easy money.
Lucky you, I have gotten tickets for 5 Miles over speeding limit when I live North Carolina in the 90's and Driving early 2000.
:22 Autovlog look into Mid City Engineering they can do a plug and play integrated radar detector for Mercedes… they are based out of Chicago! Also can do plug and play remote start!
So sick ! I love the carbon
Always the voice of reason! Gotta love them.
Mike receives another ticket *shocked Pikachu face*. No one saw that coming....... 🤭😜
Those wheels on the amg are just so sick I love them
Of course you come to my city and I’m just now seeing this video!
NC cops are really cool, usually. Mike just needs to slow down. I love ya Mike!
Lol
Nope, they go sticks up their azzes.
Good content lately I'm loving it.
I live in North Carolina and you got to watch out for them state troopers I got pulled over by a state trooper one time and the trooper said I was doing 58 in a 45 but I was actually doing 50 but I got it knock down to improper equipment
Awesome video
Curious to know how the fines for speeding work in America, out here in England we get points on our license which fuck up our insurance
I haven't had a ticket in decades & my insurance goes up just because....
It varies from state to state. (NY example = trafficsafety.ny.gov/penalties-speeding ) Some combination of fines and points is what happens if you plead guilty. If you fight the ticket, the outcomes are usually more favorable depending on your individual circumstances. A repeat offender will likely pay more than someone who's never had a speeding ticket, and a repeat offender may still get points, albeit reduced, where the first time offender may get the charges reduced to a non-moving violation and therefore no points are added.
Because the cop did not put wreckless driving on the ticket means he cut you some slack
But can't the judge impose it anyway as they can see that he was going 86 in a 65 zone?
@@brickisland6353 yes technically an a-hole judge could do that but if he hires a lawyer from that county then the lawyer can get the charge reduced to an "equipment violation" which will not put points on his license and won't require him to attend driving school
White cop cuts some slack for fellow white driver 🥴🥴🥴
