I Had My Tesla Cybertruck on Cruise at 82 MPH and A GA State Patrol Gave Me a Ticket For Going 89 MPH, Says Anything Over 85 Is a ‘Super-Speeder’ Fine

He broke the law and admitted that he broke the law. He can't turn around and say that he was targeted when he just admitted to breaking the law. And nobody knows how fast he actually was going. Since the officer let him pass, it means that he was going faster than 82mph if he was going fast enough to catch up to the cop.

This dude puts everyone's life at risk around him, then when he gets busted, he tries to play the victim.

Take his license He doesn't deserve it with this level of irresponsibility, and lack of accountability.

First of all. He was asking for trouble by passing the officer while he was speeding. Second he does not have regard for the speed limit laws in Georgia. In conclusions this guy is an idiot that thinks he is above the law.

Where you speeding.? That's all judge is gonna say. I had a ticket back in the day. And this is back when you had to go to court. Before the court started. The judge announced. If you here a speeding ticket. I don't care how fast weather it was 10 or 1 mph. Your speeding. Don't bother to say not guilty. Your just better off paying the fee and go home. Police and courts only care about money.

Oh maybe you had cruise at 82. But if you go down a hill. Or go up and over a hill. Ot doesn't exactly stop you right away. It will allow to go over the 82. Plus depending on the air in your tires can sometime throw your speed timing off.

And no. It wasn't because you drive CT.there is no cyber card either..

Snow flake Cyber Truck Clown! Like Georgia State troopers don't have anything better to do but Target Cyber Truck owners! 🤣🤣🤣

Hi my sympathies but 82mph is 131 kph which would see you walking on the day and for 6 the months and your car confiscated in one Aussi state. So think about it your speed may of been assessed wrongly by the cop, but I for one would not pass a cop while doing 12 mph over the speed limit. Though a fine is far better than walking and a fine. Hope you can prove the. Error and get off.

You know you can just have Tesla pull the information. They can literally tell you how fast they were going the whole time. So I don’t understand your little bullshit article to cause drama

First of all if you like to speed, Georgia is definitely not the state to do it in, that's the first mistake, 2nd why are you even doing anything over eighty when that is speeding period and dangerous, third you didn't even slow down before passing the police car then you argued with the officer. He was right in giving you the ticket and probably didn't target you for driving the Tesla tank but if you acted like you were above the law and maybe didn't have to abide by the rules like every one else, then he was probably very happy to give you the ticket, just be happy you weren't in Macon County Georgia, you might have winded up in the poke; pay the ticket and slow down 😊

I'm not surprised by either possibility. The cyber truck does not have the greatest reputation, and small town badges have earned even less trust. I hope the driver can get a fair trial, but the people know that to be another corruption. In most states, traffic court - like the broken-family courtporation - has no jury. So even tesla technology showing the truth may not be enough to escape false accusations. No justice, no peace. #endfamilycourtcorruption
Good luck to the tesla driver; i hope the sun shines on you.

Who knew 80+ would get you a ticket? They should put signs up or something. Then, what would we write "news articles" about?

Okcant believe I wasted time reading about this cry baby, you gotnthe money for a dumb Cyber truck, then you can pay the speed fine!! I swear these Tesla owners crying about money!! Also did your mom and dad teach you you can do what ever you want and not pay consequences?? Last I knew 12 miles over the speedlight is enough to get you for speeding. It's 70 max, the sign says 70 right?? Not 80, not 82, not 89, it says 70!!!! If you go over that, you may get pulled over!!! Duh!!!! Stinkn over privileged people, make a big ol blog of stupidity is stupid!!!!

Pay the ticket.

You set your cruise 12MPH over the limit ticket deserved.

If you're asking if this cyber truck was targeted for being a cyber truck the questions no. There is no highway speed posted at 80 miles an hour anywhere in America. So the fact that the guy was cruising at 82 mph was already speeding he deserved the super speeding ticket

You were speeding. In the future If law enforcement is driving near you go the speed limit. What you did was just flagrant. Granted you do have a speed difference his is higher but here's the rub a judges are all against speeding even one mile over. You could kill someone or yourself if you lose control of your vehicle. They will not let speeding pass , Pay the fine before your court date and move along. Just remember that riding five miles over the limit is still speeding and troopers will pull you over maybe. Do the speed limit and watch the other clowns get pulled over.

Brantley said he was traveling at the same speed as the state police, then the state police got over so that Brantley could pass. Generally speaking, when in the passing lane, Brantley likely sped up to go past the state police car which would not change the cruise control's setting. I believe he could have accelerated to
89 mph w/o realizing it.
Although he calculated his speed, he doesn't say from which part of the milage he resourced.

Ohio State law enforcement; we aren't just out to make quotas or generate revenue. We don't set the speed limits...but they are law whether you agree with them or not. I prefer to see motorists obeying these limits but we try to be understanding. An admission of 12 miles per hour above the set limit would be a violation in my book. The driver's behavior in this situation might be considered aggressive or even reckless. No doubt this added to the officer's decision to pull him over regardless of the vehicle he was driving. Be safe, be smart. Respect the other drivers on the roads.

You admitted your cruise control was 12 mph over the speed limit. I have very little sympathy for you. You were knowing breaking the law, pay the consequences, it is that sinple!

Does he even have a driver license? Does not appear he knows how to drive a motor vehicle. Hope he doesn't drive near me. An accident waiting to happen.

I find your argument Interesting but the fact the speed limit is 70 Mph and you stated and you set the cruise control at 82. You just admitted to breaking the law. You then admitted you came on the trooper who was in the left lane and he had to get out of your way. Now you're going to argue about how fast you were going. GSP can give you a citation for going 1 mile over the speed limit. City and county's have to give you 10 over speed limit except in school zones and residential area which is 5 over. Go to court and speak to the DA and see if you work something out. My advise in the future is to do the speed limit and if a police vehicle is in front of you don't pass them and don't run up on his rear end I am surprised you did not flash your headlights to get him out of your way. The police on the road is like a pace car at a race track everybody has to stay behind him. Now when you go to court please be nice explain your problem and try and work things out before you go before the judge. Good luck

This sounds like a made-up story. For one Tesla is always monitoring your driving and your insurance rates will go up if you are speeding. Another thing is nobody in the right mind is going to be speeding when they see a police officer or even pass a police officer. Just not buying it..

It seems Tesla driver's all share one thing in common behind the wheel: "cockyness"

The drive too fast/jockey for position/cut people off..you name it..like they are immune to ANY rules of the road.

They have a bad reputation 😔

You were flagrantly speeding in front of a highway patrol officer. You were lucky to get a ticket and not in an accident. Instead of blaming the officer, you should consider the safety of others and drive the speed limit.

Stop whinging. You own a $250,000 cybertruck. Pay the fine. Speeding is speeding. Doesnt matter how he caught you, YOU WHERE SPEEDING!!!!!.
Entitled twat.

If the speed limit is 70, their car is going 82 or 89, and you PASS a trooper. Sorry but you absolutely DESERVE that ticket, if for anything having the entitlement hubris to pass a cop going well over the posted speed limit right in front of them thing you have the right to blow by them. If they had been somewhere between 70 and 75 I doubt the trooper would have cared. But it takes a lot of balls to go passing a trooper at those speeds, then that the Cyberjunk driver tried to justify that he was only going 82 and not accepting that passing a trooper at anything over what the trooper was driving at was grounds alone for the pullover is shear hubris. I think something here is missing in the story. Some attitude on the drivers part maybe not being admitted making the trooper go from possible warning to OK buddy here's your excessive speeding citation.

Don’t just pay it! Hiring a lawyer to fight it could save you BIG. That ticket might hike your car insurance by $1K+/year for 3-6 years.

Lol. No the trooper didn't bait anyone. No one forced the driver to speed and it does not matter as to what the troopers actions were. These are BS statements when people refuse accountability and blame someone else. The driver should get his speedometer tested to make sure it's not off. My car, is about 3.8 miles slower then the speedometer reads. It happens. Also, does the trooper have a body camera or in car camera that shows the radar device, showing the measured speed?

The police did not target the cybertruck, he targets out of state cars, as they are less likely to fight the ticket in court. As a cross country driver I experienced this a few times. Less likely in your home state.
