she's real lucky that she didn't get arrested...I know here that if you get anything in the triple digits they take you downtown.

Wow 120, what was she driving? Does she admit to going 120? Were there any other cars close to her, I have seen radars take two cars speeds and add them together.

Yep, Here in Texas you go to jail.
That is going to be one expensive ticket.
What was her excuse?

In texas if I remember correctly. The law is as follows.

Double the speed limit
30MPH over the speed limit
100MPH or faster

all CAN be considered reckless driving and are Jailable offences. However I believe a certain amount of it is up to the ticketing officer's discretion.

I've seen numerous tickets in excess of 100mph where the guys didn't go to jail, just received the fine for the amount over the speedlimit they exceeded. Nothing eventful.

On the other hand I've also seen guys hauled off.

So. Consider her lucky.

Wow. Must of been some church service since I'm assuming she was on her way home to tell you all about it. And at age 16, those insurance rates are gonna sky rocket. Here in VA that's automatic straight to jail, no questions or exceptions. She's very lucky.
