Yep, typical attitude of what is commonly known as p*ick cops...
I gotta cool down - think I'll fire up a good cigar and try real hard to forget about a-holes like y'all! It's the self-righteous attitude that bugs me -- I know myself and I'm a law abiding citizen.

I hadn't gotten a citation in 35 plus years and about a year ago a Trooper pulled me over in my company car with my boss in the passenger seat. The Trooper did not care that I was a retired cop and gave me a citation for about 20 over.
Unfortunately for the Trooper he pulled two of us over at once and gave me the other guy's ticket.
I went to court and had it dismissed. The trooper almost blew a gasket. Sweet.
Other than that I haven't even been stopped in over 20 years.

C7 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist 2021
My Wife and I were out today on a very leisurely ride on some back roads in Eastern Kansas. It was getting late so I decided to hop on the interstate. We going along with not much traffic and talking about stuff when all of a sudden a motorcycle cop in front me in the left lane puts on his lights. I did not see that it was a motorcycle cop until he turned on his lights. I look down at the HUD and realize I was about 8MPH over the speed limit. It turns out he was just making a turn at one of the turnaround. As my blood starting moving again through my body again. My wife looks at me and says were you speeding? I give the standard answer just a little.
This bring up the conversation that when driving a Vette at some point it is inevitable that you are going to get a ticket, even if you try to stay within the speed limit. It just seem that the car inches it way up when you are not on cruise control.

Lets see.... in 47 years of "licensed driving" I have received more speeding tickets than I can remember. Starting in Brooklyn, NY LOL still had farms there in the 50's , Pa, CONN, NJ, RI, MA, VA, OH, NC, GORGIA, FL. Got them in all kinds of cars....from Muscle Cars to Pick-ups .... I'd say I'm DUE....
And by the way...before you tree huggers out there get upset and spill your tea....I have NEVER had an accident. I like to drive fast when conditions allow. I paid my fines and life goes on.

Actually I feel bad when they stop me because I know how dangerous a traffic stop can be. Not just for the unknown when you approach the car, but the stops seldom occur in a safe place for the Officer and an errant driver can cause a catastrophe. Guy was just doing his job, here in Florida Troopers are primarily traffic cops and not much else.

you gotta pay if you have to play - tickets are not inevitable unless you have no self control - just tell it like it is - you go fast and you chance the opportunity for an official citation jmho

I'm retired and been driving since I was 16 years old. I have had only one moving violation and that was near the LA airport turning right from the center lane. No speeding tickets ever. It can be done but it takes respect for the posted limit and a lot of boring driving.
