Got one~~ (Speeding Ticket)

edub370

got pulled over 3 times in the first 6 months i owned the car, but never ticketed.

one time i got pulled when me and my roommate in his sti were out crusin:


Cop: you know why i pulled u over

Me: i actually have no idea

Cop: i heard you and the subaru getting on it right in front of me. looked like u were going 10 over easily

Me: i know i wasn't speeding. u clock me at 10 over?

Cop: well no i didn't get a chance to, but i was pacing u at 10 over. also your tires crossed the double yellow back there

Me: where at?

Cop: back where the road splits to allow a turn lane

Me: (Verbally) i dont think i did that. (internally) ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME!!!

Cop: well i'll let u off with a warning

Me: (verbally) thank u. (internally) a warning for what!? i didnt do anything!!


the ONE TIME i actually wasn't speeding or doing anything....i know he wants to see who's driving what in a small town, but he was stretching it with that one

I have been driving for 11 years with no speeding tickets. 5 months of Z ownership and I got my first one ever. Was an automatic radar camera in an intersection. perfect driving record gone.

Automatic Radar Camera???? What facist state you live in?

I've been driving for 11 years and have had all sportscars or sport-coupes and have yet to get a ticket. Just drive the speed limit on public streets and leave early if you're worried about being late.

Now on the track is another story

Maryland has speeding cams, although it's a purely financial penalty, won't reach your driving record.

But they're still making money hand-over-fist from the people. Part of how they sold it was on safety, so they say they'll put it in school zones and road construction zones.

In the years since they've passed the bill, empty road construction areas with no one working, or even unnecessary/redundant construction areas, have popped up all over the place to justify their cameras. If you drive the beltways or major interstates, you will see construction zones probably once every 30 miles or so?

Maryland, land of the human ATM machines.

See this is why I was kind of eager to leave the facism of NY and the surrounding states. (except PA). It's like the crash test dummy for a Miltarist facist rule in america. Texas is doing it too but in baby steps. The north has an onslaught of civil and bill of rights violations by state and local govt's.

Rant over back OT

I live in Alberta canada. Unfortunately these types of machines are becoming more and more common. They had em in Texas too when I lived there last year

axmea?

The Z makes all things possible.

Our governor actually signed a bill to get rid of the ones on our freeways.

It's so nice now. They were actually causing more issues than they were fixing, on top of them costing more than they were making (I think they said that more than 70% or so weren't paying the tickets).

There are still red-light cameras, which I guess I'm okay with - except that they do speed too, which is dumb.

Though, there's a law that states that drivers must be warned a certain distance ahead of the camera and one of our cities puts no signs out that their mobile unit is ahead... I'm waiting for the day I get one and I can go to court and win.

I try to drive the limit, but have found out that this car cannot drive a constant thirty five. Never got caught exceeding the 70 limit.

I've never been pulled over. My lead-footed wife, on the other hand, has been puled over three times in two years; getting one ticket and two warning.

...Now go get another scratch ticket - might make it up.

zellsexy

we need like a fight the tickets thread lol. i feel like i am getting harrased by cops left and right... i got a ticket going 40 in a 25. apperently i hit 40 in a 150 feet spread and made a 90 degree turn at 40 in a busy street. the only issue is that the cop did not radar me nor did he lidar me or pace me. he saw my car from the next street over from the rear (not even the side) and could tell how fast i was going (in his world). btw this was at night. is there some special night vision rear veiw eye training im missing?

Thechidz

That is complete BS and you need to fight that. He will have to prove beyond doubt in court. Just state all of your evidence that you did hear I doubt he would even show up. God I'm glad I don't live in the south
