160mph on the average road is a good way a 17 year old won’t make it to 18.

That's probably the maximum number described in statute. Good point though, once over 105, no reason to slow down.

Fromhttps://www.drivinglaws.org/resources/traffic-tickets/speed-violations/illinois-speeding-laws.htm

The consequences of a speeding ticket depend on the circumstances. But generally, the possible penalties are:
1 to 20 miles per hour over the limit. $120 fine.
21 to 25 miles per hour over the limit. $140 fine.
26 to 34 miles per hour over the limit. Class B misdemeanor and carries up to six months in jail and a maximum $1,500 in fines.
35 miles per hour or more over the limit. Class A misdemeanor and carries up to one year in jail and a maximum $2,500 in fines.

I once got pulled over for doing 105 mph. The cop wrote me up for doing 90. He said if he wrote me up for more than 90, he’d have to take me into custody.

“160 mph in a 70 = 35 over?
Must be new math?”

Sounds like they cut this kid a major break and cited him for less than they could have.

Common practice in my state....as long as your respectful to the officers and don’t act like a jackass.

That's just what the ticket was written for.

I had one for "in excess of 100" long ago in a 74 Mercury Marquis.

The most important question is WHICH MODEL AUDI???

I imagine the highest ticket they could give was for driving 35 over the limit. Meaning “at least” 35 over the limit.

The kid was only doing 160? Try this one out. Three minutes of great fun. Should be watched in 'full screen' mode:

Locally, Audi drivers are by far the worst @-holes on the road. It’s the car middle-agers buy when they lose their libido and need to compensate. Maybe this kid has early onset impotence.

It’s the Illinois statute, anything 35 mph (or more) above the speed limit is felony speeding.

They should have cited him, taken the car and left him on the side of the road...

A family member of mine bowered my old Ford Taurus wagon once & got a ticket for going 105 mph. I was amazed the wagon could pull that kind of speed...

Had to be an RS model, most Audi’s are limited to 155mph in the states.

Maybe the ticket said, “at least 35 mph over the limit”…
