Have you been pulled over for speeding?

Yeah I got one a few years ago, for doing 44 in a 30, plus the jerk pulled the guy over in front of me too (he pulled us both over at the same time) and told him he was also going 44:rolleyes: Pigs :rolleyes: I live in a hick town and the cops have nothing better to do.


Sorry to get off topic, but I Really hate when the cop's come to a red light and decide that they are too good to wait for it to turn green, so they turn on their lights, run the light, and then as soon as they are past the light, they turn their lights off and go on their merry way...GRRRRRRR!!!!!!:rolleyes: Wait in line with the rest of us!!! Such an abuse of power:mad: :mad:

I've only gotten one, and I hate that I even got it. :( I got 53 in a 35. I hated it because the place I got it at was right before like 50ft before the speed turned to 45 and then about 50 or 75 more ft. it turns to 55. The guy was so mean too, he didn't even say hi or anything. I just sat there, didn't try and get out of it or anything but oh no, no warning for me. lol I got Prayer for Judgement, if it went on my insurance my mom would kill me! lol

I've actually been pretty lucky. I have a bit of a "lead foot" but I only got stopped once. And because my license was clear, he gave me a warning. :) Now that I've said that, hopefully I won't jinx myself!!! :p

I got my G1 3 years ago & never drove. Then I took lessons a year later. I litterly got an A+ for my first day driving in my life. The teacher called me a liar saying this isn't my first time, but it really was. 10 hours of driving lessons later, I passed my test & got my G2. & I haven't driven a year this Oct. Soooooo. in the 3 years of having my lisence. I haven't been pulled over yet... hehehehe.. I have 2 years to get my G. So HOPEFULLY someone will let me drive sometime within that time, soI can get my G & not have to start ALL over again.

i'm not driving yet;) :p

but i have been in the car once when my dad got pulled over...

Yup! ONE!

I got a speeding ticket about 6 months ago - I went 42mph in a 25mph.. it was, I think, $190.. I was SO, SO mad at myself for that.. and I've definitely slowed down big time - and so far.. it's working well, no tickets..

I've only had two tickets in my life and those were for overtime parking. I was warned once, and the cop gave me a little lecture on speeding! I was pulled over once and the cop was wrong! In Pennsylvania you can be pulled over for an out of date inspection sticker. I drove into a resturant parking lot and just as I was getting out of the car, I hear " let's see your license and registration" I got out and he looked at the sticker. It turned out that he read the sticker wrong! It was up to date. He apologized to me.

I used to get loads of fines in my car in South Africa (Golf VR6 - my Pocket Rocket) - I swear it was impossible to drive that car slowly!! I have had a few here in Bahrain, but what sucks is that the fine is the SAME here, no matter how fast you are going - you are either over the limit or under :rolleyes: So of course everyone who does speed is doing around 100 in a 60 zone.:eek:

The thing that annoys me is that they don't take into account the capabilities of the car you are driving - MY car (serviced regularly, good brakes, ABS, good tyres etc) is far lass of a danger at 80 than a piece of junk doing 60!! (JMHO)

**DAVID.....I can't believe he apologized!;)
Around here, I can't even imagine the idea of an apology EVER. With the "Control & Power" a lot of them seem to have "big heads" too, it would always be their word against the other person!
This is off the subject a little but, I was even given a ticket earlier this year for a neighbor dispute! Long story......let's just say I won't fight "just because" but if I had to I would! We both got issued $165.00 but, luckily "I fought mine" & Won!!!!!! 1st time for everything!!!!:)

no but i was pulled over for running a red light. i got a ticket, paid the money and went to a class to get if off my record. :D

I have gotten a few. One when I was 17. Then, when I was 19 or 20 and commuting to work, I went through this bad luck streak where I got several tickets in a 2 month span. I went to court for all of them and won all but one carpool lane ticket. The police almost never show up to court so the judge dismisses the ticket. I hadn't had one in a long time until this Feb. I got one on my way home from Oregon that I did online traffic school for.

*oh, I just have to add...one of those tickets in my bad luck span was 67 in a 65. :eek: I was like "Give me a freakin break!!!" The cop said some crap about how he had a daughter my age, and he'd never want his daughter driving in the fast lane because that's the first lane that gets hit when someone comes over the center divider and so he felt inclined to stop me and lecture me. WTF?! I was so mad.

I never have (knock on wood), but believe me, that's been pure luck.:p There's been numerous times when I've been speeding, and seen a police or sheriff's car, and I thought "oh no, here we go!" But my luck has held out, but after I see a police car, I slow down to the speed limit for awhile.;)

Yeah, I've gotten a few. None recently though. (knock on wood!)

I find it very difficult to drive fast cars slowly. Guess I should stop buying fast cars, eh? My latest trouble maker is my turbo charged New Beetle. Yikes. So far no tickets in it, though.

I used to have cops single me out of a crowd of people, all speeding, when I had my red convertible Mazda Miata. NOT fair!

Teenster3, I think it was because he was a local cop(in my township) that I got off easy. I can't imagine a Pennsylvania state trooper being that lenient. They NEVER apologize!

I've never been pulled over, but I got a couple photo radar tickets when I lived in Calgary.

I have been pulled over for other stuff. Once when I was visiting my parents I borrowed my big brother's car. Got pulled over twice that night, both times the cops looked in the car and said "you're not Lance!" and let me go. My brother was a bit of a wild child in his younger days. I never believed him that the cops targeted him until that night. Course, he probably was up to something!
