I don't care if you have a lawyer or not.

Not all cops are like that. The one who pulled me over was relaxed and calm the entire time. As soon as I saw lights I threw on my hazards and pulled over. Keys out of the bike, helmet off, license out ready for him. I knew I was speeding and was 100% compliant. I said sir everytime I spoke to him and showed him respect. I was wrong. No trying to get out of it. Amazing what communication and respect can do when talking with cops.

Latest ticket was the night I got my Z. 4 hours after I drove her off the lot I got pulled over for 47 in a 35. I was ~50 ft from the 45 mph speed limit sign. I pointed out to the officer that the sign was right there and he said the limit didn't go up till I got to the sign. Wrote me my ticket for $181 and I paid it next paycheck.

I had a similar ticket. I knew there was an 80km/hr zone just ahead (4-500ft) and I was in a 60k zone, I end up getting the light and a crept up to 80k and sure enough at the last driveway there was a cop about 100-150ft from the 80k zone

and that was in a pathfinder

...... I was heading out to snowboard

I know some cops are more lenient than others, gotcha. But you also have cops like this one who pulled over Matt Farah.... lol sucks to be him.

PM Me your lawyers info, my lawyer is trying to dismiss a Exhibition of speed misdemeanor that I got for going a little hard on the throttle mid turn but within speed limit.

tWeEzY · 02-02-2013, 09:38 AM

90 in a 65 on the bike up in Vermont. Thank god he got to me when i was doing only 90 cuz a minute before i was seeing way over triple digits. Got a road trip from Arkansas to BWI. Hoping to set the cruise and not get tempted. Biggest fear is getting more than one ticket in a different state. Honestly, with all these unmarked cruisers out there, im paranoid about hitting 80+

RoshDawg · 02-02-2013, 10:45 AM

Damn how do you guys get away with such crazy tickets by getting a lawyer?? What do they say? Every time I've gotten a lawyer it never works and I end up with the ticket. But I never get legit lawyers, just mr. Ticket and stuff like that. Are you guys getting actual lawyers to go to those group court hearings or what?

RoshDawg · 02-02-2013, 11:03 AM

My most annoying ticket was getting a 60 in a 25, even though I was going about 30-32. I passed the cop who was going in the opposite direction, and thought NOTHING of it given how huge and open this 25mph road was. (After a bunch of u turns and not knowing where I was going) down the road about 5 minutes later, that same cop pulled me over, and said 'I had to go 60 just to catch up with you!' I was like what? I've been pulling u turns in people's driveway and making many dead end turns (this place was like a maze) I was averaging maybe 10 mph after we passed each other. Yet he gave me a ticket for going 60 just because HE went 60! I was paying a speeding ticket that belonged to that cop for going 60mph trying to find me (not catch up with me).

Signed up for a court date, and within 3 days notice they changed the court date because the cop couldn't make the original one. I immediately called and said I could not make that court date, but the court needed 2 weeks notice to change the date!! Where's my 2 weeks notice??? So I canceled my hearing to avoid 'failing to appear in court', only to get a letter saying I failed to appear in court and I must go to another court hearing! Such a broken system.

Don't even get me started on ticket storytelling... lol

Bucketlist2012 · 02-02-2013, 12:53 PM

Back in the 1980's..

Got a ticket for " Impossible and Unsafe start."

I dropped the clutch and got the front wheels off the ground through the Intersection while frying tires all the way through the Intersection..

The Cop freaked out and I thought I would go to jail...He was so upset he blew it..

The Judge said that if it was "Impossible", how could I have done it....Case dismissed..

He should have just written it for exhibition of speed..

Same Car in the early 1990's doing 125 in a 65...Looked in the rear view and saw a CHP Bike going so fast it was leaning into the turn on the FREEWAY...

I looked at the speedo and my Heart fell out of my Body...Wrote me for 85.

I was driving my old car (Mitsubishi 3000GT) down to Florida for spring break my senior year of college. There were a couple cars and we were just convoying down from Purdue. Driving down the highway by Ashburn, Georgia I was leading and got nailed for doing 89 in a 70 through a "construction zone." I put that in quotes because there were no signs or even cones out.

Got hit with a $555 ticket, apparently Ashburn is notorious for crazy high tickets. Then a month later I got a letter from the state of Georgia telling me that my offense constituted a "super speeder" fine of an additional $200.

I didn't have time to take off of school and didn't want to pay a lawyer to go as a proxy, so I forked over the $755 and went on with life. Switched insurance companies last year a found out that the ticket isn't even on my record, at least not in Illinois, so I just pretend the high price was an "off the record" fine.

SS_Firehawk · 02-02-2013, 05:35 PM

For the record, I didn't get hauled off because I was OTW to Ft. Gordon with a car full of Army ****. Had 3 days to drive from Las Vegas to Augusta.

The car accident and reckless driving ticket, they couldn't prove my speed. They knew I was going well over 100mph by the length of the skid marks and damage of the accident. They were trying to coax it out of me when they were writing the Police report. I was not going to self incriminate myself, even in my minor state of shock.

I was damn near hauled off to jail for a Warrant in a neighboring county, speeding infraction. I think I spent about $2,000 in 2010 cleaning my record before deployment.

PapoZalsa · 02-02-2013, 10:11 PM

It was not the worst one but the most stupid and expensive one. 40 in 25 in my 92 Ford Ranger in Residental Zone.

No even going down hill with the wind on my favor will that truck do that is that little strech up hill where the freaking cop tagged me.

Anyway my driving record is not the best one for the past year and didn't had the time to get me clear driving record from Florida. Anyway got a Lawyer and piad $156.00 with no points and +2 in the DMV with the Traffic School.

That is why I hate the Republic of VA.

Lug · 02-02-2013, 11:11 PM

Radar at 145 in a 50. Cop let me off and wrote it up as 60 in a 50. My favorite cop ever!

Glambutang · 02-13-2013, 11:46 PM

Left on red, no cars, 2am. $450

TheW3r3W0lf · 02-14-2013, 12:48 AM

118 in a 45 early am hours between two cities about 10 years ago. Was driving my retired SSP police Mustang and took the officer several minutes to catch up to me from his cozy little hiding spot. He was pretty upset at my speed but noticed the car and stopped mid sentence with "Is this an SSP?". We spoke for a while about his rookie days in California and his first cruiser being the SSP car as well as some of the other police vehicles I had restored or built for off duty guys. He wrote me up for 10 over and circled on the citation "73+". Could have been much worse and I have slowed my pace quite a bit these days as things have changed.
