Pulled Over....
 

As the title says, I was pulled over in Virgina early this morning after dropping my father off at the airport. Speed limit was 65, I was doing 71, as there was literally straight, open roads, and not a single car on the road. I then was passing a truck, and gave her a little gas, and next thing I know, the blue lights of justice are in my rear! The cop says I was doing 79 mph. I drive fire trucks for a living, and know how hard it is for larger trucks to see cars (exp. small cars like the Z) in their blindspots. I politely explained to the officer why such an increase in speed. After a while, he comes back, and says that he is going to let me go! THANK GOD! Anyways, I have always tried to avoid VA like the plauge, cause it just seems like thats all the cops do out there.... Anyone else noticed this??
Happy Driving!!:tiphat:

Had one pull me over in a 35 in my 350Z. He said I was doing 50. Total bullsh*t and I lost in court as well. Cop lied and I paid. Judge gave me no points though. Nice of her :{

Good he let you go anyway.

Only similar situation I've been in is being stopped for speeding and the officer noticed at the time that my inspection sticker on the windshield was expired (yes, I know....not smart on my part) so then he also checked my plates...thank GOD that was up to date. He left for a few minutes and came back and said:

Tell ya what I'll do....I'll cite you for the expired inspection and forego the speeding. How's that?

WHEW! I could only open my eyes wide :eek: and say: Thank you!

You should have said "Don't do me any favors. I'll tell you what...eat my a$$ and see if you can catch me!" Then smoke the tires and speed off. You have enough mods that you can easily outrun a police interceptor :).

Guarantee you he will have cops waiting at his house when he arrives home. :rofl2:

Doh!

Oops....should have mentioned...this was before the Z....this was in my Tiburon. But I will say this.....I've had a few checking me out at stoplights while in the Z. :icon14:

:bowrofl: Got that right!

If I was police and pulled someone over and they admitted what they did. 99% chance they would drive away with no ticket. honesty and being willing to take responsiblity for ones own action would be very important to me. Thats if I was police of course. I also dont see the logic in turning a minor civil traffic ticket into criminal felony flight for running. hmm 136 dollar fine or felony conviction. tough choice.

:ugh2:

Wow!Real smart decision that would be!DAH!

Yeah some people need to think before they post

being a police officer, this is completely true with 99% of cops. lie, your getting the book. be a ****, your getting a ticket. be polite, fess up, and your good to go. at least in LA, alot of traffic stops are not for tickets, yet to check out who is driving the car.....(drugs, guns, ect)

I personally hate writing tickets and with LAPD, there is no quota, or pressure. you do it if you want to. that being said, i dont like writing them unless someone really deserves one....

My record is clean in nearly 12 years of driving. I was in my mom's Accord driving to work earlier this year. I accidentally went 8 over in a 35mph zone when I saw the cop car. I quickly pulled to the side right as he pulled out and flashed his lights. I admitted fault. He gave me a ticket anyways saying his supervisor wants him to be harder on speeders or something.

Hey, bro, I live in LA... can I drop your name next time I get pulled over? :icon17:
