Z370 = Evil cop magnet
 

It was the car!!! It made me speed. Got 2 speedy tickets within 30 days. The car is so much fun to drive & so I keep forgetting to watch speedometer and the bush. Need to bring some damned killer bees to the bushes guys :icon18:

Anyways. Watch it out there. I am broke so gonna craw like an old woman now. :shakes head:

This car doesn't let you feel how fast your going. I look down sometimes and im cruising at 95 thinking im going 75:driving:

Z370? I want one...

haha....:icon18:

Speeding...

LOL

I was pulled over 5 times in last 6 months :ugh2: It's all good. No Tickets (knock on wood). Cops around here are pretty nice. 3 of them were State Troopers but they all were very nice. Some even said "Good Evening/night " to me as they let me go. I also follow some steps when I get pulled over (i.e. turn the car off, put the keys on the dashboard so that cop can see it, put hands on the steering wheel, be VERY polite, don't make any sudden movement or talk to passenger etc). Also I was told, if you tell the cops you're a member of "The370Z" forum, they let you go with a warning....






































Okay just kidding on the last sentence :icon17:

Haha too funny AK! :D

:bowrofl:

Almost fell for that ! I'm like, WTF !?

Good advice on the pullover. I do all that except one change. I roll down the window and put both hands out the door in plain site.

At night, be sure to turn on the interior light for the officer.

Yes,agreed,speed limits in S'pore is only 90km/h[55 m.p.h],even more liklyto get fine....

Damn it AK, I told the cop that and he told me he's a member of the Genesis Coupe forum, and the f*kr gave me 5 citations...damn YOU!

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

:roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2: hahaha 5 citations!

I've been pulled over 7 times so far. I guess I've been lucky, but so far (at least) I haven't gotten a ticket. I always put my turn signal on and exit slowly to the shoulder. I slow to a stop and roll the window down. Meanwhile, I get my registration and license out. Usually you have a few minutes until the cop comes out of his car, so be sure NOT to take your seatbelt off or else he might argue a seatbelt violation. When he comes to your car, make sure you are crying and offer to show him your boobs.

























I can't believe that you just read this crap :).

What's the fine for unkempt bush where you are?

lol...i almost fell for that...

Does anyone know if like the really expensive escort detectors pick up lasor detectors from cops as well as radar?

Its true though ! This car is a magnet for cops!! especially here in South Africa! If i am in the 370z i get pulled over if there are cops on the side of the road! Always they see a fancy car and stop it! i Got pulled over three time in the space of 6 hours!
Once for "speeding" even though cars were zooming passed me but not even a chance to say hello i had a ticket!! (He was a rude *** u know what). Other two time just to check license e.t.c.

Arrrgggg Damn Piggies!

LOL - if only the cop knew what a joke putting the keys on the dash was.... its the same as being in the ignition with our car ;P

Geez I want to live where you guys live. Around here, if a trooper pulls you over, you are getting a ticket. I don't care what steps you follow or whether or not your hands are out the window or down your pants. Those guys would ticket their own mother around here, hell they'd throw the book at her to make an example. :shakes head:

AK seems to have it down like a pro :icon18:

other thing- if the popo asks you if you knew why you were stopped..... if you know, tell him! ( ie, your on a cell phone, make eye contact with the cop next to you, then tell him you dont know why you were stoppeD? lol)

also, i advise against getting ANYTHING out before asked. ID, reg, insurance ect. cops dont like to walk up to a car when someone is in the glove box.

Well my driving record was absolutely clean(not even a parking ticket or warnings) before I got my first ticket(speeding) in my Z a month before I was getting out of the military. I was clocked at going 82MPH in a 65MPH while trying to pass a semi-truck at 5:30AM in the morning while heading to base for work in my uniform. In addition, I did everything by the book when the officer approached me such having my windows down, both hands on the steering wheel, addressing the officer as Sir, etc and the officer was constantly rude and being a smartass with me. I managed to keep my calm and drove off with a full blown ticket, no deduction or anything.

Granted I haven't dealt with many police officers in my life but that specific Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer sure ruined how I think of cops. :/

Robot Boy:

Laser detectors will detect police laser (AKA: Lidar), but when the detector goes off, it's usually to late. Unlike radar, Laser takes anywhere from a second to a few to lock on to a specific car. The newer guns are very quick to gain a lock, therefore giving you only a split second to slow down, which usually isn't enough. The older guns take a little longer. Depending on the conditions maybe 2-3 seconds at best. That's still very little time to react and slow your roll to a legal speed.

There is one plus to laser and that is it does bounce, not 1 mile but usually up to 5 car lengths or so.

This is true, but overall detection is much harder then conventional K / KA band radar.

Laser is more of a tool used on crowded highways where deciphering a radar signal becomes almost impossible for the Officer. Unlike radar, Laser requires a direct line of sight with no obstructions (such as trees, road signs, poles, etc.), therefore not allowing the Officer to hide. The one advantage Laser gives the Officer is distance. When driving on crowded highways it’s always best to keep a sharp eye out for the Police Officer off in the distance.

That means you have to go get your keys from your pockets? He'll like that... :)

What key? The FOB? :confused:

You had the wrong site originally, so I fixed it for ya!

I got pulled over once and the cop pretty much asked questions about my car ...no ticket ftw - I think he was bored

This happened about 3 months ago:
Cop comes up to me

Cop:Are you're windows tinted?
Me: Maybe , with a big smile on my face (Which they are, 20% way illegal in NJ)
Cop: Laughs and says 'Looks good man, have a good night'
I was like WIN!

oh wtf man, mines 5% all around, had that been me, he probably would have shot me in the face.

should work in Chicago :tup:

My keys (fob) stays in the cup holder. I simply pick it up from cup holder and put it on the dash. I know with push button start and the whole remote access thing, it's quite useless but I think some cops appreciates if you turn the car off and put the key on dash when you get pulled over. I have a 6-0 streak so far on pull overs and like to keep it that that way ;).

Look at my reply above :hello:

:bowrofl: :rofl2:

WIN WIN
I have had no luck with window tint on my previous cars. Always got a ticket and had to take my car to court showing the tint was off. WTF.... which is why I'm not opting to tint the front windows on the 370. Too much hassle for me. :mad:

Watch out for Cincinnati traffic cops. They have this routine they call "neutering". When they see a "new" sport car routinely drving a particular route they will look for ways to stop the driver twice within a 2 to 3 week period and ticket them for either speed, improper license plate placement, premature crossing the entrance ramp line, window tint, failure to use turn signal and etc.

The philosophy is to immediately get two driving tickets onto the record of the driver which will act to prevent the driver from wanting to risk driving over the speed limit for fear of being stopped and ticketed again that potentially adds more points on his record as well as increasing the driver's insurance premium. Its a very effective way to quickly "train" the owners/drivers of sport cars.

I havent been stopped in the two months I own this car.

but yeah I never speed so that helps
