I did it once, without knowing. I lived in sweden and worked in denmark. So had a 120km ride each way every day at 5 in the morning. One sunday morning at around 5in the morning, I let the old tuned Yamaha stretch out most of the 80km Highway, because there were no cars at all - not one, but when I hit the citylimit there was a roadblock. Got pulled over and it seems it was only me they wanted to chat to.
There had been a cop at a bridge right about 5 minutes after i left the ferry. He had started the clock, and when he cought up with me at the roadblock, they had a averagespeed at over 272 kmh(about 170mph) over the 50 km stretch.
At no point had he been visible in the mirrors.
Cost me 15.000 danish kr(around 2500 dollar], and one year and a half without a licens in denmark. But since I lived in sweden, I could still drive with the swedish licens.
That was more then 10 years ago, and I have not had one single fine since. I still drive to fast, but only when there is enough space and i dont endanger anyone but myself. I have been pulled over a lot of times, but never got a ticket, because I respect the other people on the road, and dont blow past them with excess speed.
I could easily pull away from the cops, but I dont think its the right thing to do, so I dont
