contest ended?

[lute]

yesterday my dad and i were pulled over for not having our seatbelts on. i always wear my seatbelt! the cop seemed more interested in me, the passenger, than dad. we both got sitations. :o

here's what this is all about. my friend Irwin and i are having a contest to see how many times we can get pulled over without getting a ticket. i think that since i wasn't driving and i only got a sitation it doesn't count and we're still on. Irwin thinks that a ticket is a ticket and he wins....men :rolleyes:

why would you play a "game" about breaking the law to get pulled over? Someone could get hurt in the process. By the way, a citation IS a ticket, doesn't have to be for speeding.

I agree. Not to mention you take the chance of getting many tickets. It is always luck when you get pulled over & let off scott free.
Sounds very immature to me.

You must be kidding me. Call me when you go headfirst into the windshield. I guess your father isn't into leading by example?

[smokey the elder]

Why not see how long you can go WITHOUT getting a ticket? Sounds much safer to me.

yeah, I agree. you could get in a lot of trouble if you get pulled over repeatedly. it's irresponsible to see how many times you can get pulled over by a cop and you might not be so lucky if you get pulled over again and again.

Doesn't sound like a very smart "contest" to me. Let's see who's going to get seriously injured or killed first? Nah, I wouldn't play that game - I like living on this side of the earth too much. Good luck to you though :rolleyes:

And your father not wearing a seat belt? Ok I'm not going to say anymore or this thread will have to be moved to the Dog House.

Hmm...I dunno what kinda game that is never heard of it. :p

Maybe see who gets the less tickets is a better option altho there will be alot of winners.

[Freckles]

I always wear my seatbelt! :rolleyes:
Then why did you get the citation?

Oh grow up!!! :rolleyes:

Oh grow up!!! :rolleyes:Shes a teenager shes still growing up.
Dont tell me you never did anything stupid as a teenager. Doing stupid pointless dangerous things are part of being a teen/growing up.
And maybe you guys took it the wrong way.

I did my share of stupid things as a teen, but they mostly involved avoiding all contact with police, not trying to get pulled over without getting a ticket.

You got the ticket, and the police officer was probably more concerned with the teenage passenger not wearing a seatbelt (still forming habits, trying to help you avoid forming bad habits) than they were with your dad not wearing a seatbelt.

:eek: .. who are you kidding ..me? I had to read this 4, 5 times ..

I sure hope the contest won't end after you die.

well, if you thought this was fun, then I'd tell you you and irwin are even now..

Game Over. ;)

Shes a teenager shes still growing up.

And, it sounds as if she is growing up without the benefit of good instruction, too. While I was a teen once (I vaguely remember it), I didn't do these sort of stupid things. Crank calls? Maybe. Ring someone's doorbell and run? Maybe. Shoot, I might have TP'd a house or two. But, nothing like this. I disagree that "stupid pointless dangerous things are a part of being a teen". Not unless a dead teen is what you are after.

Lute's dad IS a grownup, and setting a totally lousy example.

Have a friendly cop show you some non-belt accident photos some time. Better yet, go to a hospital and visit those who lived....minus some bits and pieces, and maybe the ability to walk and/or think.

Actually, sounds like a couple of people in the car don't know how to think already... :(

I can tell you I've never done anything dangerous as a teenager. It's called smarts. Knowing when to quit.

How would you or Irwin feel if one of you were thrown from your vehicle in an accident and killed?
