    You are screwed. I don't like how the law treats violations in your personal vehicle the same as in a commercial vehicle, but you are still very stupid for doing that. You know your Cdl is at risk, with 2 Tickets already in a year you should not brake any traffic laws at all, not even 10 over. You most likeley just ruined your career over your immiturity and irrisponsibility. Time to learn a new trade and grow up.

    Sorry for those who think that cars today don't go that fast.

    Mercedes has a bunch of them, worked with a guy who had SLK 320 AMG with a bunch of modifications - he was caught racing it in Miami at 157mph, lost his license for 7 years. He was losing the race to another Mercedes which was clocked at 165. I didn't feel sorry for him when he got caught.

    I feel if you are caught doing this speed, there should not be a court case, just an automatic forfeiture of your license for life.

    To the OP, if money is no object, then you need not drive a truck.

    There's lots of cars out there than can top 133,even my old '93 Z28 can do over that with ease.
    Years ago before I had my CDL I cruised at 125 for miles out on a long lonesome desert highway and the car wasn't even starting to work hard yet.
    I wouldn't think of it now having a CDL,not a chance I'd risk my livelihood for a few kicks.

    Rent some snow skis. Don't bother w/ lessons. Take the lifts to the top of the expert terrain. Straight line from from the top and if you can stay on top of said skis it will feel even faster than 133mph. 👍
