FYI, I'd do some in depth research into the laws of your state before you do that again. Assuming you never hurt yourself or anyone else, getting caught at speeds of 135 in some places will land your ass in jail, result in loss of license and in my state carries an extra surcharge of $1,500.00 above the normal speeding fines.

Update: I looked for you, you would have been nailed with reckless driving 55 points don't know it that's additive to the normal speeding or not here's a chart.

The Illinois Administrative Code, Title 92, part 1040.20(c) gives the following point values for these offenses:

* Reckless driving―55 points

* Squealing or screeching of tires―10 points

* Driving too fast for conditions―10 points

* Driving over the speed limit:

* 1 to 10mph over―5 points

* 11 to 14mph over―15 points

* 15 to 25mph over―20 points

* More than 25mph over―50 points

* Exceeding the maximum speed limit in a school zone―20 points

* Driving below the minimum speed limit―5 points

* Driving below the minimum speed limit on an Illinois tollway―20 points

* Not driving in the right-hand lane when proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic―20 points

* Exceeding the maximum speed limit on a bridge or elevated structure―10 points
