Speeding Ticket
Visibility wasn't good the other day,when I got pulled over by a traffic cop doing 80mph.
He said, "What would you do if Mr Fog came down suddenly?"
"I would put Mr Foot on Mr Brake", I replied.
"Let me start again, slowly", he said, "What would you do if mist or fog came down suddenly?
:-)))))))))))))))))

Just don't ever say my worst reply ever....
Officer: "Do you realize you were going 70 in a 45?"
Me: "Is that all?"
Officer: " Get out of the car please."
Me for the next 20 minutes with three other patrol cars now at the scene: "Yes sir...no sir...sorry sir...no I have not been drinking..."

I once got a ticket on I-805 in San Diego doing 85 on a Kawasaki Z. The officer said he did not want to pull me over, but wanted me to look in my mirror and see him and slow down. My idiot response was, "When I'm going that fast I don't care what's behind me." The officer did not say another word, he just started writing. Cost me $385.

To the OP - I've had people say way more stupid things than that, but you probably garaunteed yourself a ticket with that response.

My last time getting pulled over (Don't do this, obviously)
I was running late to my brother's Swearing in Ceremony. It was about 6:30am and no one on the road.
Officer: Dude what are you doing?
Me: Hi Nikki
Officer: I had you doing 73!
Me: oh, I must've been slowing for the turn, I was at a solid 85 just a ways back.
Officer: Its a 35 mph zone!
Me: oh, I guess I was going too fast to see the sign.
Officer: What's "Competitive Driving Mode"?
Me: It makes the car more fun to drive fast.
Officer: Sweet, you have to take me for a ride! But why are you going so fast?
Me: I will, I'm kind of in a rush though my brother is getting sworn in today
Officer: Alright, call me.
It didn't hurt that she was my zone partner :-)
Obviously it could've been bad.

A guy I painted some Z06 parts for in Florida got pulled over really late at night driving down alligator alley doing 170. The only thing the cop said was "you're a f'n idiot and if there had been anyone else on the road then you'de be going to jail"... and that was it....no ticket.

I'm a retired PO about 15 yrs ago I was on patrol (midnight shift) I was driving the patrol car down a One Way Street when a car coming down a cross street makes a RIGHT TURN Almost Hitting me HEAD-ON
We both (me & other driver) slammed on the breaks without hitting each other, but it scared the SH** out of me!!!
I got out of the patrol car, and went over to his window, (half scared from the almost head on, & half MAD, I yelled at him
Didn't you see the DAMN ARROW".. he looked sorta dumbfounded and stammered..."Hell I never saw the Indian"
DWI Arrest !!
