the official speeding ticket tread

[Dude]

Got pulled over once, no license plate up front and no inspection. No ticket. Funny thing is my mom had to borrow my e30 for a day and got pulled over for the same thing haha. That was 3 months ago and i still havent got it inspected.

I usually dont speed for periods of time. If i have to drive somewhere i wont set the cruise for more then 5-10 over the speed limit, its not worth it.

Ironically I've never had a cop give me shit about not having a front plate. Granted I have a euro plate on the front, but on my Nova I have no front plate and the only time I got shit for that was when I was late for school and I was doing like 90 and actually caught up to a cop in front of me. He followed me off the off ramp and then pulled me over and said I was speeding to catch him and had no front plate. Told him I was late for school and he was like "oh you go to UTI? gtfo" :rofl:

Ooh, I got my present on the 4th of July. Non-californian plate in front, and speeding, right as I was leaving the city limits onto the bridge.

[ak-]

Insurance wasn't mandatory 25 years ago in California,
But whatever, you fucked up right there lol.

95MPH in a 30 zone
Passing on the outside of double yellow lines
Failure to use blinkers

Keep in mind, this was 25 years or so ago, I was an idiot:

Wrong VIN on car
Wrong plates on car
wrong tabs on plates

Driving while suspended
No insurance
No registration
falsified documents

I swear, this cop kept writing for like 1/2 an hour.

This is headed south, back to San Diego from Mammoth CA.

I was jailed and released, both on Friday...but could not get car out of impound before monday. I made the cops pay for a motel AND meals as they had any money I had locked up in my car.

only one that stuck - 32 in a 25. 7am on thanksgiving day through the college part of town = absolutely nobody around for miles. He got me slowing down during the 35-25mph transition. Why on earth he would have been running a speed trap where maybe 1 car passed per hour is beyond me. That was about 10 years ago now.

I did get a ticket in Canada on the way to my wedding, but it doesn't really count - I think 70km in a 50 - I just paid it, it doesn't go on your record anyway. Plus I've never been on a road on BC where anyone goes the speed limit, I was just the unlucky bastard with US plates..

Oh, you rebel you.

Only had one cited. 80 somehting in a 55 trying to catch up to my friend I was following. Female cop was actually really cool, and when I went to court she had any points dropped.

Was pulled over last summer doing 90 in a 45. The cop said he could have arrested me but let me go for some crazy fucking reason since I told him I was going to work

3 speeding tickets
First two was going 40 on 30 first zone. Same cop same exact place, different day.
Third. 80 on a 30 mile zone.

No points off my record since I did online traffic school on all three. (one ticket per year) :) (Luck)

Only one that stuck.
102 in an 80 in Okinawa ('99) I had one week to pay Y15,000.
I'll have to scan that one in.
I've gotten a couple other tix, but always went to court and won.

I know I got "flashed" at least 3 times in Europe ('05), but I never got a tix in the mail...

...knock wood...

Got busted doing a buck 50 on a residential street, stupid cop pulled me over and let me off cause I flashed a little sack(just a peek these babies are smooth as eggs). He was hesitant as it was a deaf children zone, but he couldn't resist my botoxed package.

Update. Got my first ticket the other day, no front plate, not sure how much it is though.

I've gotten so many tickets when i was younger nobody on these boards would believe me.... anyway i haven't had a ticket in 3 years.. quite proud of myself.. 28 now.
I know somebody on these boards have outran cops.. i've done it... 4-5 times.. i've went from bad to the bone to old man driver+ very occassional badass... i still chuckle when somebody i haven't seen in years gets in the car and goes WOAH.. what happened? im like im older i dunno.. lol

I used to drive in NJ with a german tag on the front probably was a great idea... going 100+ cops goes by i would just keep going and hide... and it actually worked.. yea anyway... girlfriend is here gotta go lol ;)
