Anyone ever heard of anyone getting in trouble by ATC or the FAA for taxing too fast? I was at SNA the other day and I swear a Cirrus was on takeoff roll down the taxiway...

Just curious if anyone has heard of anyone getting in trouble for taxing too fast.
 
The only time I taxi "fast" is when I'm gonna be number 1 and I've got at least a mile to go. Otherwise its not worth heating up your brake and being borderline reckless. Hurry up and wait....

At YYZ all the time.
 
At KSAT a maintenance inspector for the FAA was standing on our FBO ramp and a King Air taxied passed at a hi speed, and he got all worked up and ran off to have a chat with the PIC. Don’t know what happened after that.

The PIC asked the dikhead inspector to show him the results from the radar gun, and after the long poss from the inspection, then told him to go poke himself!

That's what happened!
 
Hi!

I have heard of tower and/or ground saying something to the offending pilot. My last job, and current one, both say no more than 20 kts, unless you are on the runway. About 8 kts or less on the ramp.
 
...im guilty of going over 20kts @ Vegas when taxing from Atlantic to Rwy 7L...
