got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

It was funny how it happened ,theres this 4way stop near my house then there is a 4 mile straight
So I pull up to the stop and the car to my right(newer chevy lumina) got there first so I waited and he didn't go ,so I say the hell with it and take off across the intersection then the guy gos ,so hes following me really close (I had just turned the boost up on my civic too 11psi a couple weeks ago and never really took it out to see how much faster it is now)
So I get on it soon enough I got the civic 120mph speedo barried so I look back and hes way back but I could tell he was following because he would have been farther away
I let off the last 1/4 mile too my house, and he caught up I pull in my drive way and sure enough he kicks his lights on
He comes up to my window and sez "whats the hurry " then he asks how fast I was going, hes like I was going 75 and I could barely see you
turns out he only could clock me at 75 haha
I hate unmarked cars

you got lucky, you need to always be searchin for da po, double vision 8)

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

If u knew he was following u why didn't u turn some blocks to lose him?

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

he didnt know. didnt you read it?

thats some sweet ---- though! get a lawyer, and it will be like it never happened.

*pre-paid legal plug (google search it)*

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

that sucks, the other nite I got pulled over but the cop is my next door neighbor so he let me with a warning, it was for 56 in a 45 plus I didn't have my liscense. If that was me though I would of been paranoid I would have turned off and try to lose his ass.

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

Yes junkyard, he said (i could tell he was following me, b/c he could've been farther away).

Didn't u read the whole post?

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

i know all the trick to avoid a cop. you did get lucky though if he clocked you going 120 its all over. Whenever you go uphill on a highway and can't see whats ahead of you slow down. cops always sit on the side waiting for you because they know you can't spot them. Same thing when you make turns and can't spot whats ahead of you. So if you racing slow down going up hill. Next if you see white strips on the pavement on the high way slow down. Thats how they clock you from the plane above. If you past it going to late just slow down you'll ---- up there clock set trying to see how fast your going.

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

there were no streets between the intersection and my house cause I live in the boonies

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

Well u still got off pretty good.

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

the white strips on the freeway... i never knew abou that one... i'll look out for those next time ;) .... speeding tickets still suck... i got 2 and both were on the freeway and i was going as fast as everyone else (whcih was like 80 or so) sucks that i was picked. :-X

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

I guess I could have shut my lights off and bombed out into a cow feild, lol

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

Did the cop ever say he had you on the gun? cuz if he said his speedo was @ 75 and you were going faster is BS, you can't ticket on that because it's not calibrated often enough.

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

yeah don't ever tell a cop how fast you were going until he tells you first. And its safe to go above the speed limit if your only 9 over. A cop well never pull you over if your going 9 miles over the speed limit. when you get a ticket look and you'll know what i mean. Yeah the white strips is how they clock you. They time you from the start of the stripe to the end of it. Thats the only way how the ghetto birds can get you. So as soon as you clear those strips speed on. But look out for the cops though. ;)

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

here in ga, your have a greater dhance of coming off with a warning if you had no clue how fast you where going or doing anything wrong. its weird.

happend to me a couple times
got pulled over, cop said i was speeding
and i was like... i didnt know
he kinda looked puzzled
i said i drive like this normally
and he left me with a warning. also, dont admit to doing something wrong even though your not. theyll give you a ticket. example, if you say you where speeding in a 25 whgen you where going 25, youll get a ticket.

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

If you admit to a certain speed limit (anything that you say is admissable) they can get you based on what you said.

I read a really good site once on how to get out of a ticket...maybe its in my favorites.

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

I should be a cop, I can judge speed like a pro

My VSS speedo cable is broken so I dont know how fast Im going, I get followed constantly, pulled over about 4 times now in 2 months and theyve never once mentioned speed, always no front plate, unlawfully lowerred and one cop even tried to hassle me over my 4point harness and my hood pins

Dunno if you guys have ever tried, but getting up to 80km/h and keeping your exhaust quiet without knowing your actual speed is tough ----, even when my speedo was working I was always up 100+ when I thought I was going 80, and this is n/a, cant imagine what Ill be like when the boost comes

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

I didn't tell him how fast I was going
but I kindof agreed when he said that I was going 75
I was just happy he didn't see me going 120
he was a real dick too he said "this your house this is alot of realestate for a 25 year old" I said "yeah I actually work for a living"
also at some point a car drove by with one headlight out and I told him he should call ahead and have a road block put up
at whitch point he reminded me he was being generous with the ticket

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

I have only ever had a ticket for an expired sticker on my plate. Never had any speeding tickets but I have been pulled over three times for it though. Been lucky so far *knock on wood*. Worst one yet was I was doing 176 on the highway was pulled over and he didnt clock me and I knew he hadnt by the way he was talking so I said I was going the speed limit and I got off I was really lucky.

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

I got a ticket for $120 going 75 in a 70. They will pull you over for 2 over in NC

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

thats sucks :-X

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

in nc if your within 10 miles of the speed limit the DA will throw it out for you ;)

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

the other day i got pulled over for doing 70 in a 40 he asked for my lisence then seen i worked for the dnr (wildland firefighter) he just handed me back my lisence and said have a nice day ;D

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

not here in Greenville they wont, they are corrupt as ---- here (college town)

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

I got pulled over for 48 in a 30 back in July of last year. The cop didn't ask how fast I was going, he only asked me where the fire was and if I had gotten a ticket before.

No tickets, had never even gotten pulled over before, and I get stopped and ticketed first time...really sucks.

I just now got finished with my court supervision though, the court house went on strike during my origional court date so it had to be rescheduled, then I got my defensive driving class pushed back as far as possible.

So does anybody have a link to one of those sites that gives you advice on how to get out of a ticket?

Re:got a nice new speeding ticket last nite
 

heh that reminds me of one night at about 2am... im going home and i always book down this one road near my house...nobody around, im doing around 105 (its 35 then goes down to a 20 school zone) then i have a funny feeling to slow down, as if somthing bad was gonna happen, so i get down to about 60 and i see lights coming in the distance... and as i get closer i can see its a cop (oh ----) he pulls the ugliest u turn ive ever seen and comes after me... writes me for 50 in a 35... i just shut my mouth and went to court... cost me $110, which isnt too bad vs almost getting in REAL trouble
