Depends on your location. A while back a cop was stopped driving his own car , radar clocked at 190 KPH. They went to court and his defense was that his car is governed to less than 190 (Chevy Impala), so the radar couldn't be reading accurately. The case was dismissed, no charges. I would think that going nearly twice the speed limit should be pretty obvious, but short of irrefutable evidence it's often pretty easy to get the case thrown out.
