Sorry to hear. I'm curious how severe the one time infraction needs to be to lose your license in Sweden. 20+ mph over the speed limit? 50+ mph over? etc.

+31 km/h on a normal road, then its 3 month suspension, i did 80 km/h over and six month was the result. How is it in the U.S? Guess its different rules in different states tho.

Wow! That's not much room to play at all. You're right that it varies from state to state. I got a ticket for 36 mph over last year in South Florida and when all was said and done, I had to pay court costs and attorney's fees (but got no points on my license). Granted when you start hitting 25-30+ mph over in most states, I believe the police officer has the option of arresting you on the spot...

a friend of mine (the guy that got me addicted to AMG crack) just got a ticket for 85 mph in a 55 zone in VA. The trooper said he was giving him a break, and from what my friend said (had been doing 90 - 95), he did.

The trooper also said that 90+ is automatic jail time in virginia, with 1 day per mph over 90. I don't know how true that is, but I do know virginia is *not* the place for excessive speed.

As fas as I know in California double over the speed limit and or 100mph is reckless driving and the cop can arrest you on the spot.

No everything you have said is true, I found out the hard way. Lol 103 in a 65 I know stupid . But VA does not take kindly to speeders or racers, and in return I had the book thrown at me. Lost my license for 1 yr and some days in jail. Take it from me some things just aint worth the trouble.

50km/h+ here in ontario canada and they impound your car.. If you're driving a c63.. you'll always find yourself over the 50km/hr mark since most cars travel at 120 on the hwys..
