Huly Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Mine is easy! 0 tickets here! I was pulled over twice for speeding but the first time my dogs would not let the cop near my car, nor me out of my car (Shepherd Rotti had me pinned to the driver's seat and was facing the driver's window with all teeth, my Sharpei came around from the back and was inbetween the Driver's head rest and the window with all teeth. Needless to say the cop told me to slow down and go on. :laugh: The second time I had just bought a new Camaro and I was trying it out on the interstate, well I got pulled over and I apologized to the cop that I just bought this car yesterday and I did not know how fast it went so he let me go. The only thing he did not know was it was my 3rd Camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsNut73 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have never been ticketed for speeding. I'm know I'm going to regret saying that as I'll probably get nailed on the way home tonight Question for those of you who were snagged - did you see a significant increase in your insurance? Just wondering because, believe it or not, I don't know anyone who was ever snagged for speeding now that I think of it - at least not family and close friends...odd.

dfitzo53 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah vienna police are real jerks but ive lived in vienna my whole life so i have an idea about where they hang out. and the main road through vienna is route 123. but ive been driving for about 2.5 years and am yet to get a ticket for anything, pretty proud of myself for it aswell. I'm sure a decent number of you on here know where Park Street intersects Cedar Lane, by Thoreau Middle School. A block or so before you get to Cedar there's that huge hill. Just as I was cresting the hill doing about 40, I saw four marked squad cars sitting at the bottom of the hill. I slowed down to 25, but the idiot in front of me went roaring by. Not one, but two of the cops pulled out after him, sirens and all. :laugh: :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissU28 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 My first was a couple months after getting my license. It was on College Parkway, just off of Ritchie Highway. I was going 56 in a 40. The cop stopped me by standing in the middle of the road in the pitch dark and waved me in with a red light that looked like the back light of a motor cycle.I just got one a couple weeks ago for going 80 in a 65 in Fauqier county on route 66. I was driving home for spring break and was really tired. I didn't realize the speed that I was going. I am debating whether to show up at court or just call and pay for it. go to court- the fee is always less if you show up. AND...the cop might not show up, and if he doesn't you get off the hook. Always go to court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 One, about 23 years ago. I was single and had met up with this young lady (that was friend of a friend) at a bar. Long story short, took her car for a quick spin to see what it was like, came around this one corner (which just let off gas some) and saw the cop coming. He turned around and pulled me over in front of my parents house. I knew the officer real well. He came up to this car and said, "Gary this isn't your car." I told it was hers. Got in his car and he reduced to speed down some. Then came the have you been drinking question. Told him couple of beers. The officer riding with him grew up with my brother and he started laughing. Just wrote me a speeding ticket and told me to take that lady home and get my arse home. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I've only ever gotten one speeding ticket. Franklin Turnpike, Mahwah NJ. Clocked on radar doing 93 in a 40 zone. The cop wrote the ticket for 55 in a 40. I had followed my girlfriend (wife now) back to her place after a night at our local watering hole. I couldn't stay the night being I had to be to my shop extra early the the next morning. I pulled out of her condo complex, and hammered the bike, with the wheel commin up as I banged third gear. That's when I spotted the cop in a small parking lot. I knew I was nailed cold, so I got all over the brakes, and pulled it over as fast as I could. By the time the cop pulled up behind me, I had my helmet off, lit up a smoke, and had my papers in hand. He came up to me, looked me up and down, looked at the bike and said, "what's the hurry, late for a race". Bare in mind, the bike was track ready short of still having lighting, and I was in one piece leather raceing gear. He saw the PRFD sticker on the windshild and said that being a firefighter wasn't going to help me out. He took my papers, and went back to his criuiser. I figured he was a real hard azz, and was expecting the cuffs, and a tow truck for the bike. He came back a few minutes later and asked me if I needed my licence. I said of course, I'm the quality controler for Mahwah Honda up the road, and my job depends on it. He then asked me where I was commin from. I pretty much caught him off guard when I told him I had just come from my girls lace, had just got laid, and was still a little rambunctious (sp). He had all to do to keep from laughing as he shook his head. He said because he was in a good mood, I had a completely clean driving record, papers were in order, pulled right over, and was well manered, he was only going to write the tick for minor speeding so I wouldn't lose my licence. He told me to be carefull, and have a good night. I rode it like a little girl to the state line a mile or so up the road, and the second I hit NY, smacked it down two gears and slammed it hard. I have gotten seven written warning for speeding over the years. I'm very good at talkin my way out of tickets, and knowing lots of cops in the county I lived didn't hurt.

China Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 All this speed talk had me think about the times I got speeding tickets. So can you remember all your speeding only tickets? Remember them all?! But there have been so many, over so many years... In no particular order: 1. Rock Creek Parkway, DC - Park Police (the officer thought I might be getting a weapon when I leaned over to the glove compartment and I saw him sidling up against my car with his hand on his weapon. :doh: ). 2. Michigan (outside Kalamazoo) - doing 90 on a two lane road, a cop comes over the a rise coming the other direction, I look in the rear view mirror and slow down, but fortunately he keeps going, so I start to speed back up. The very next car that comes over the rise is another police car :doh: , he gets me going 78. 3. North Carolina somewhere. 4. Florida, on Rte 41 between Sarasota and Venice. 5-7. Montgomery County, commuting to work (at least three times over the years on Rte 355 and 270. 8. Oregon - somewhere in the middle of nowhere. 9. Pennsylvania - on 70 somewhere. 10. Virginia on Rte 29 outside of Culpepper. Well, that all I can think of at the moment (as if that isn't enough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
