Should have gone to jail, but I did my best to be polite to the guy while still convincing him that I wasn't being a danger to anyone since there

Should have gone to jail, but I did my best to be polite to the guy while still convincing him that I wasn't being a danger to anyone since there was no one out there. I also talked a lot about how a z06 is designed for high speeds. So I just got the ticket, which was only around $400. Now my insurance doubling when they found out was the real costs.

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.

I talked to Traffic Officer at my wifes work. They can hide- they do not have to be visible.

If a cop has to sit in the wide open its pointless. The point is to CATCH speeders not let them know you're there. |

I used to live in Vermont. in the 4 years that I actually drove there, I had 4 speeding tickets, none very high miles (was only driving a Toyota Corrola, god I think that car was cursed), but expensive. Of course, Vermont is always in desperate need of revenue, and they have some of the most merciless and bored ***-hole cops I've ever seen because of it. I had one pull me over for 4 mph over the posted limit (39 in a 35, which seems to be most of the damn state). Just one of the many reasons I left that state. Long Story Warning
( Click to show/hide )
Anyway, been living in FL now for about 10 years, and never even been pulled over, much less ticketed (give me a moment, gotta go find a tree to knock on). I mainly chalk it up to luck, but cops down here in Orlando don't seem to be concerned unless you're flying. Hell, I've had cops pass me while I was speeding. I guess in the end it comes down to being like the Gambler, knowing when to hold them, and when to fold them.
