Ahhh, better edit this post. Speed limit of 35 means no more than 35. You're admitting to exceeding the speed limit.

In our state a speed limit of 35 = you can drive 35 mph +/- 5 mph due to speedometer calibration. In my Z, going 50 mph, on a radar gun is actually 47/48 mph.

In Illinois you only get a ticket for 41 or more in a 35 or a 29 or less in a 35.

ZMan8, even in my state, while our state statutes say, nothing in excess of the speed limit. Prior court cases here have allowed people to get off of speeding charges unless they were 6 miles above the posted speed limit. Basically the same as Illinois. This is not to say they weren't speeding, but that they do not have to pay the fines associated with speeding, thanks to the court.

In OP's post below, he is admitting to exceeding the speed limit. Plus his comment in the 2nd sentence, I know he's joking, but it wouldn't look good in court. In a civil case where Preponderence of Evidence (just got to tip the scale in your favor) is the burden of proof, this may prove to be the reversal of his claim that the woman was at fault. If you or I were the woman's attorney, I think we would both do the same thing.

I don't know how to post the link here, but the Illinois State Statute on speeding is basically the same definition as Hawaii. So while we may not have to pay a ticket for a few miles over, it's just good to be cautious what we post on the internet.

and since we're at it, you are not alone. Just dropped it off at the shop today, $2,300.- damage, my daughter overlooked yesterday a huge telephone pole when backing out of a friends drive way, no idea how this can happen, but it did. Had traded cars with her for a few days because I needed 3 seats for an airport pick-up.

Anyway, I feel for you
