Yeah, the best I would have done is said "I didn't know I couldn't do that" (in reference to comedian David Chapelle)

Yeah, no complaints on the ticket. Cop was like "Youre the fastest guy I've pulled over... ever"

Seriously...down here, thats insta-jail time, fast talking or no. I did a reverse U 180 at 60mph in my old VW Corrado G60, and sped off...cop saw it, and as it was I almost found myself in the back seat of the car. If it hadn't been on a parking lot at my place of employ, and another officer who swung by from time to time coming by to save my ***, I'd have been back there for sure.

It did however, earn me the nick Duke Hazzard for a few months, though.

i was coming back from a state fair in illinois about four years ago on a 900 past a cop on a 2 lane going roughly 85 in a 55, by the time he had turned around and had his lights on i was already on the side of the road with my helmet off, there's was no use in running. i was in a area that i didn't now i never ran and wasn't going to start then, he come walking up to me saying"i can't believe you stopped, i just can't believe you stopped". i think he was shocked, he let me off with a warning

Sorry to hear that. Actually, I've been more concerned about the front license plate thing. Usually see plenty cops up and down El Dorado. None of them have seemed to care so far even though I come up behind them or beside them at stop lights.

Jeez, only $10! A seatbelt violation here in florida is $90!

had my Z a week, got a 41 in a 30, yeah, weak I know. Doesnt help having a bright shiny red sports car. I got out of the ticket by volunteering for DD class. First speeding ticket ever mind you.

I ran once in phoenix and got away, but this incident was in texas, where I believe that hang you for that kind of stuff.

My last ticket I got was in my old 350, I was crossing a bridge and got clocked 105 in a 55. The bridge was also a "safety corridor". Got to spend a couple week of leave in jail for that one.

frost 08-15-2009 01:37 PM

I've seen a safety corridor in new mexico, where practically the whole state is a safety corridor. Seems like a good way to get more money out of people.

lando76 08-15-2009 01:40 PM

Hey Frost double check your state laws. In CA the cops have to be visible (no hiding) Also if its at night they have to have their parking lights on. I had to fight a ticket once and ended up winning because of that.
