About 25 years ago. Going to the drug store(the legal one). Pulled over for going to fast,60 in a 45 zone. Got wrote up for, over the speed limit. Plus, expired registration. Plus, no insurance. Plus, driving with out my license(I had left my wallet at home). Total cost was close to $400.00. The a#s reaming I got from my wife, priceless!

I once hit a curb avoiding an idiot in front of me slamming on his brakes and sliding through a turn, and realized I had left my jacket at home when I swapped my bike jacket (with wallet in it) with my regular jacket going back out. The police came, and of course I was freaking out since I realized just then I didn't have my wallet. I called my mom and had her bring it to me since I wasn't too far from home and the cop was cool about it. Generally if you bring your license/insurance to court and prove you have current papers, they'll toss the tickets and just charge you the court fee.

One time I got pulled for speeding and the cop told me my insurance had expired - I hadn't realized! But I told him my parents handle it and never gave me a new card, and that it was still current. He gave me a speeding citation and that was it. I was hoping he was going to drop the speeding ticket and let me off with the no-insurance ticket, since that's no points. Oh well, still better than getting both!

I have to update now. Just got done with a 4k mile road trip. Pulled over twice, but still no tickets. One of the cops said he mainly wanted to check out my car.

I must be lucky.

Had the Z for 13 months and no tickets or even got pulled over. One of the cops in my area challenged me a race in his Challenger R/T, he was off duty haha. I don't race but I gave it a whirl...I lost but hey..it was fun racing a cop LOL

I just got stopped last night for a quick start with a honda, he let me off with a warning. I didnt even go over the speed limit just a quick zoom to show the fart can guy he cant hang.

No tickets after 10 mths. Had one cop flash his lights at me but that was it. I did let a cop friend drive the car. He pulled out onto the highway and lit her up. You couldn't have slapped the grin off his face. I do love this car.

This thread is hopefully helpful for those who cannot afford a lawyer and go to court without one!
Ever since I got the z I have noticed the attention I get from the cops.
Just got a fresh one from a county cop, this has got to be my last one...
Failure to stop or yield.
Hopefully I can talk to the prosecutor for no points.
Grand total of 5.

I've not had a ticket in at least 6 years...the last time I was pulled over it was a ticket for 30 in a 25, tagged as I was topping a hill...

My wife got pulled over for going 75 in a 65. Cop said he'd write it for 70 in a 65, and the fine matched what the cop said. We signed the ticket and sent it in....yet the DMV report says going 24+ over. 4 months more of that, and it's off the books, so it's not worth fighting at this point.

Only 1 speeding ticket (86 MPH on 405 freeway) in Orange County, CA over 20 years. Got a ticket recently with my 370Z (June/2009) for no front license plate & tinted front windows (35%) in Fremont, CA. The Damn cop gave me a ticket ($299) instead of fix-it ticket ($50). I guess the damn pig try to rip people off due to shortage of of city/state budget. The pig gave me hard time even though I told I just got the new car and the front plate was not installed when I picked it up. He said I get the ticket because I have the car tinted myself - so folks, make sure you tell the pigs that your cars came like that when you bought your cars.

Anyway, I fought it in court and the judge changed it to a fix-it Ticket ($50).
I saw a lot of people in court got tickets that they would never get during good economy - Jay walking ($160), cracked windshield, blocking your own driveway (parallel to the street - NOT the blocking the sidewalk one), etc. Definitely I see that the damn pigs these days working hard to rip people off instead of fighting crimes and helping people.

I have 5 cars with tinted windows at 35% & no front license plates for years.
Never have a ticket until this incident. The damn pigs in Fremont, CA are the worst for ripping off money from people.

Don't run a red in Austin TX.

LOL , I have gotten 3 of these at the same light in my last car. Needless to say I go around the light now. I got one ticket for making a right on red because I didn't come to a complete stop before making the right turn--lame!

what gives him the right to stop you just to check your car? if he has no probable cause, he has no right to stop you. wouldn't this count as abuse of power?


haven't gotten any tickets in the z yet, but have 3 speeding tickets on my record. 2 of which were on the highway 400 northboud. if anyone drives the 400, watch out. speed limit is only 100 km/h and the highway is almost always infested with ontario provincial pigs. drive more than 15-20 km/h over and you'll get ticketed

StLRedrider 03-06-2010 05:10 PM

just received my letter from the lawyer for a speeding ticket back in november. had it nocked down to a muffler violation, $164.00 fine and $50.00 for the lawyer. this was in the truck.
