speeding tickets??
So... i got my first speeding ticket in my Z yesterday. who else has gotten a ticket in their Z so far? how much over the limit were you?
the cop was gracious and cited me at 69 in a 40. i was going much faster, but he liked the car and mentioned it was his first time seeing a 370 and asked all about the specs and "fun-to-drive" quotient. i was on a freeway access road, so he wasnt too excited about my excessive speed. this is my first speeding ticket in 10 years... i knew i should have bought a radar detector as soon as i bought the car back in April. :shakes head: i'd post a poll with this for easy tracking, but i guess i'm not cool enough to figure it out... or still too pissed at myself to think straight. *Edit* - figured out the poll. Yay! Also, I'm not condoning speeding... just curious how other board members are doing when it comes to driving their pride and joy vs. Johnny Law. |
1 speeding ticket in my life and it was a month after I bought the Z. Going 80 in a 60 and cop was still merciless even though it was 5:30AM in the morning on my way to work in my military uniform. :/

No tickets yet, but the yellow Z attracts them like bees. They follow all the time, but so far I've dissapointed them and maintained the speed limit.

i got pulled over about a month ago going 70 something in a 60, the cop was cool as hell, he asked me what would i prefer, option a, speeding ticket or option b, seatbelt ticket, i took the $10 dollar seatbelt ticket. Very nice guy.
|
come on man wear a seatbelt, dont be ignorant.....
ah, i see you James Dean caption fits you perfectly.... and i wonder how he passed away.....hmm |

i know when to be stupid and crazy, it's not in my car

Whoops, I voted before I saw it had to be in a Z. My speeding ticket came from another Z (Z06). Not bragging, because it was pretty stupid in hindsight, but it was 155 in a 75.
It thought I was on an abandoned road because I hadn't seen anyone in 20 miles. As soon as I opened her up, cop hiding behind a sign. |
None yet, but close a couple of times. (If the cop would have turned around)
Either he said f-it and didn't bother, or, he didn't have his radar on. Of course, now that I've said something..... |

Just curious.....What's 155 in a 75 worth?
|
No speeding ticket here in any vehicle and I speed all the time...
Now I need to find some wood to knock on..... |
^ should have been jail time, atleast here it is,lol
|
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.
