Fastest Speeding ticket ever issued...
242 MPH (390 KMH!) in Texas! Wow! Watching Top Gear last night and was looking to confirm it:
The fastest speeding ticket in the world allegedly occurred in May 2003 in Texas. It was supposedly 242mph in a 75mph zone. The car was a Swedish-built Koenigsegg, which was involved in the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally. -S

I've got a question: How the heck did the police car catch up?!

my guess would be a roadblock that was called up later on down the road...

In North Texas police are not allowed to pursue motrocycles that flee because a) they cannot catch sport bikes and b) many motorcyclists have been killed evading police when they impact a stubborn object. I, personally, have flipped the bird to a patrol car as I blew past him at 163 mph. All he did was flash his lights.

I think that car also holds the record for the fastest car on the road.
I think top gear stated that running at top speed will empty the tank in 15 min. The newest model has 1018 bhp
