some might not like this thread, but oh well. no ones perfect.
i have somewhat of a lead foot. i love going fast. but i know how to handle myself, and what is safe/unsafe for my abilities and situations. i light of this, ive run into good old state patrol quite a few times and other county patrol a few as well. both in and out of state.
fist time getting pulled over, in my first car (90 crx si). 1 month after getting my liscence. i admit i was inexpericed and reckless, but what 16 y/o isnt. got tagged for 53 in a 35. pulled over, cop gave me the whole lisc./registration thing, and told me what i had been pulled over for. in my defense i REALLY did think it was a 45 zone. i told her that, but i dont think she bought it. she gave me a big speech about how it was only 1 month after getting my lisence, even told me she should make me write an essay, lmao. for some reason like 2 other patrol cars pulled up and se was laughing to them about the essay thing "you guys think i should make him write an essay?". she let me off with a warning.
pulled #2. driving to work still in the first crx. was a little late, and got nabbed at 45 in a 25. nothing real exciting, just took the ticket. later went to court and got a PBJ for 18months (probation before judgement, basically just pay the fine with no points).
pulled #3. driving to school in my b18c1 91 crx. a little late again. cop got me not 2 minutes from my house, 41 in a 25. speedo was broken (snapped cable) cop gave me the routine took my info and went back to his car. came back asking to see the vin number. apparently the DMV messed up the registration card and put a 2 in front of the vin# and it didnt match in the computer. well for whatever reason of another the vin plate wasnt on the dash. never has been, since i bought the car, and theres no holes from one used to be. its like it was never there. cop turned into a dick saying things like "what, did you chop this car all up or something?" i showed him the vin in the door jamb and he went back. came back with a fix it ticket and the speeding ticket. i was a little upset about the speeding ticket cause of the speedo situation (didnt know how fast) and he snapped at me again. threatened to impound the car for being "unsafe". then stood there for a minute and let me go. went to court, showed documentation that the speedo was broken and fixed. judge didnt care and didnt look at it, reduced me to 1 point + fine.
pulled #4. 1 month later. same cop, same place. 39 in 25. he recognized me and made some remark about me speeding again. pretty routine, he informed me that he looked it up, and my car had been stolen and recovered in NJ (where i bought the car from) so thats probably why there was no vin tag on the dash. gave me my ticket and i was on my way. payed the ticket and took the 2 points. didnt want to deal with the judge given the close proximity of the tickets, lol.
pulled #5 in the 95 integra. about 2 years went by. i was on my way home for winter break from college. got tagged on the highway for 83 in a 65. cop was very polite and reduced my speed to 74. went to court, judge asked me if i had any violations in the last 3 years, i say i had (2 years), and he says that hes not gonna cut me a break with PBJ but will reduce my penalty. goes to reduce the speed then without realizing the cop already reduced my speed says, "oh you werent going that fast, were you?" and decided to give me PBJ for 1 day, and a 35 dollar fine. lol. i was quite happy about that.
pulled #5.5 in the teg. i say 5.5 cause i never actually got pulled over. i was late for dinner at my GF's house. and went by a state trooper on the highway doing about 90 (65 zone). he pulls out late because of traffic. i was pretty sure he was comming after me, given the circumstances, but im never fully sure. so i just kept going until he caught up with me much later. he was now 1 car behind me, the vehicle behind me happened to be a large moving truck, like uhaul. and his veiw of me was completely blocked. i was in the left lane. i ducked into traffic and slowed down and blended in without the cop seeing my move. when the truck got out of his way, he was none the wiser and kept going. i took my exit and that was that. im not sure if he really missed me or he wasnt comming after me at all. his lights were on though. but if he was comming for me, im sure he was quite mad that i got away.
pulled #6 in the teg. driving home late from my GF's. i was very tired and not really paying attention to the speed (on top of trying to just get home as fast as possible before i fell asleep). got pulled over for 66 in a 50. cop took all my information and came back and just gave me a warning. young guy, seemed nice. i was on my way.
pulled #7 in the teg. 2 weeks later, same spot, same cop. this is a trend, lol. again it was late comming home from the GF's. i dont think the cop recognised me (he didnt say anything about it). comes up to the car, i have my information ready, says "hey you were doing 61 in a 50, im just gonna give you a warning, be right back". i could say anything but laugh and say thanks, lol. again i was on my way.
pulled #7.5 in the teg. on the highway. i was actually following a cop who was speeding. i was pacing him at about 80-85 (65 zone), trying not to follow too close. i guess he didnt like it, because he hit the brakes (i let off the gas, no brakes slowed to 70ish) and got behind me. pretty much tailgating me. i switched lanes and he switched over right behind me. then after a while he just left, but gave me a dirty look when passing me. that was quite an odd experience, lol.
pulled #8 in the teg. a few months later. at school in WV. driving to class. theres this one section of road, uphill and turning. you have to keep the RPMs up or you will slow down. well i was passing someone (who was speeding too) and a cop going the other direction sees me, when he passes, he hits his lights and pulls a u-turn in the middle of the road. i KNOW hes comming for me, but i kept going just in case i could slip away, but if not i can always play dumb. he catches up and i turn off, he turns off too and gets right behind me. i had to stop cause a school bus was stopped in the road (i was gonna pull over at this point anyway). cop gets out, and tells me to pull over ahead. i say ok and pull over. he comes up to the car and says he pulled me over for doing 71 in a 45. goes back to his car and comes back with the ticket. i sign it and he left. i sat there looking at the ticket looking for the fine amount. but i had to call the court. 200 bucks. i decided not to fight it, and just payed the ticket, since points dont trasfer between WV and MD.
pulled #9. driving to the GF's house. i was speeding, and spotted a cop taking radar. immediately slowed down. he pulled out and followed me for a long time. then turns his lights on and pulls me over. at this point i thought he got me for speeding. comes up and tells me he pulled me over for no front tag. gives me a warning and i go on my way.
so there are my stories. theres been plenty of times where i thought a cop got me, but either didnt, or didnt care to come after me. as many of you can see i have a problem, lol. but like i said i know how to handle myself, my car, and i know what is safe, and when its safe to speed. the only thing i cant control is other people but ive gotten pretty good at spotting the idiots and staying away from them. and im seeking help in the form of track racing
