My first ticket I got was 55 in a 45, the cop pulls me over and says yea this car is fast but I don’t see a girl in the passenger seat that your trying to impress. Im not impressed, im sure the people on the road are not impressed. Than he asks whos car is this ( I was 18 at the time) I said its mine sir. And he checks my registration and sees my brothers name on it and asks why its on there and I told him that when I bought the car I had no credit so I had to put his name on the registration as well. And then he asks me what my brother would think if he knew that I was speeding in his car? And I told him “well its my car so I don’t think he would mind” but he didn’t think that was funny and wrote me the largest ticket he could.

 

you owe me a new laptop! i spit water all over my monitor!!!! PRICELESS!

 

i got a ticket for 41 in a 30. when he came back and gave me the ticket, he told me i was lucky that he didn't write me for my loud exhaust, bald tires, tints, no front plate....etc. I would have RATHER had those! they aren't moving violations!

 

Be Nice - Life is Short!

 

Thanks alot!!! I just spit coffee all over my computer laughing so hard!

 

same here, my car shuts down if i go over 55mph

 

Did she handcuff you?

Here's my LEO breakdown:

(neighborhood) Constable: 3x warning (I'm guilty of california stops)
Houston PD: ticket. (plus e was grumpy in general)
Shenendoah PD: ticket (you don't get warnings in Shenendoah)
Harris County Sheriff: warning (new road with no speed limit posted)
Texas State Trooper: warning (plus we yakked about my car )

 

Don't do ten over in S.C. they will pull you over for 1 MPH in that great state.Got pulled over twice in 1yr. I'm a retired LEO and the SCHP told me they are tring to keep highway deaths down because they are 3rd in the nation for Highway deaths.

 

Were you in first gear? That would be too funny to get a ticket without even shifting out of first.
And don't forget, don't mess with Texas!

 

I love these stories!!

Here's mine (posted a few times, but I still think it's funny):

Driving to the airport to pick up my wife (I'm late). Doing maybe 60 in a 45. I'm in uniform. Cop pulls me over. I'm thinking, ok, maybe he'll give me a break because I'm in uniform. He does his spiel - I open my wallet - military ID on top (saved me before by just having it on top for when I'm not in uniform) - he's not biting -- flipping to my DL on the bottom and he sees my Harley-Davidson Visa. He says "Oh, you're a Harley rider? Well have a nice day!" And I did!

 

Other way around . I use to joke the I was sticking to the woMAN.

We actually hung out for a little bit but she moved out west.

 

IN 45 years of driving muscles cars and hot rods, I have never recieved a ticket... I have been stopped a dozen times, but always given a break.
I think my demenor , and the fact that most police like nice, clean, fast, good sounding cars, had a whole lot to do with that... Probobly 5 of the times I was stopped was just so the cop could take a look at my car...this goes back 45 years, back in the late fifties and early 60's you didn't see too many Corvettes on the road.

 

That's quite a record. A good one at that. Bill, I hope you had a genuine, well finished, exotic piece of "wood" to knock on, making a statement like that.

 

Is this the Bill that we all know?

Have a good one, Tom

 

Your funny

 

Now go buy a Lotto ticket.

 

I don't know what other states do, but here are the infractions NM LEO's are looking for.

In the state of New Mexico, being convicted of certain traffic violations can result in the Motor Vehicle Division adding points to your driving record. The amount of points depends on the infraction.

If you receive 12 points within a year, your driver's license will be suspended for one year. It is also possible to have your license revoked if you accumulate fewer than 12 points, should a municipal or magistrate judge order it.

Traffic violations that add points to your record include:

* Speeding
* Contest racing
* Failure to signal
* Refusing to obey signals
* Reckless driving
* Failure to yield
* Making an improper turn

I am sure each point also adds $100 to your insurance premium too.

 

All the female cops here in Madison are really butch lesbians.

 

There are some good encounters in this thread! It seems they appreciate real talk. From what I have seen and heard.

I haven't had a speeding ticket since joining the fire dept. I have gotten pulled over but when the LEO sees the Firefighter plates. They end up making small talk and demanding I invite them up to the firehouse for eats! A little professional courtesy...

I have extras!

 

i have been driving since i was 15.5 and now i am 40. in all of those years at age 16 i was pulled over and ticked for pulling a u turn in dc. about 4 months ago on one of the back roads i travel every day i was moving along at 58 in a 35. it was 11:00 am, no busses (already picked kids up)_ no commuters- they were at work... just me rolling along. by the time i saw the officer, i was dead...he nailed me..no way i could drop speed ( i was in my explorer not my vette) i just slowed and pulled over. I knew he had me dead to rights...i waited and about 30 seconds later i see him start the car pull a u turn and come up behind me and turn on the lights. by the time he came over to the door i already had my license/ insurance/registration in my left hand. he said you know why i pulled you over... i responded i knew i was speeding that is why i just pulled over when i saw you and our eyes met. he asked what was the hurry, i told him i am on the way to a dr.'s apt and was running late. i showed him the mapquest directions along with the dr. name and address i had printed ( no reason to lie) i also told him in 24 years of driving i have had a clean record no tickets, no warnings, nothing. he goes to his car and after about 4-5 minutes says " your perfect record is still in tact... lets just slow it down" i thanked him and was on my way. people need to remember officers are there to protect and serve..he/they are doing their jobs...i had already accepted the fact when i pulled over i was getting a ticket, and because of my attitude, treatment to his questions and honest + track record, he let me go...
