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:

You don't issue a ticket, to cell phone users who are driving?

I'm confused...you stated the speed limit was 65 and you admitted that you were doing 71. What exactly is your problem with the Officer? I must have missed something.....

But you can't outrun the radio......

He gave him a ticket for 79mph.

X2 one day last year I had a civic si behind me. Now I was on my way to the movies and was sort of in a hurry. So I pass the 2 cars in front of me...so does the si. To make a long story short before you knwo it we are weaving threw traffic and passing cars he than passes like 5 cars and I say screw that I am done. Now he was from Delaware and I was in NJ. When we passed cars so did another car behind us. Next thing I know I am getting pulled over so is he farther up the road. Guy asks me what was the deal with all that crazy passing. I told him I was in a rush and I guess the guy decided I was trying to play with him. After I explained it all he came back and LET ME GO! He said I like an honest person and you did not lie to me once during this stop you are free to go. I was like OKAY :wtf2:

That is what a radio jamor is for. Only good luck finding them to begin with.

Ummm....reread his post. He didn't get a ticket. He stated he was going 71mph and THEN passed a big truck which I think we all can safely assume he sped up from 71mph to make the pass....

I'm glad you spoke of your good experience with an Officer as all most people ever talk about are the fewer bad experiences. There are jack asses in all lines of work but this doesn't make everyone in those fields bad people. Thanks for your story bigaudiofanat!

I just wannt put this out there.

IBTL

I was driving a little honda crx to walmart to buy some snacks at night and got pulled over and the first thing he asked me was "are you affiliated with any gang" and I was just speechless. He then got my L's and registrations to come back and I asked him why did I get pulled over, He looks around the inside of car for a minute and said "I pulled you over because of the air freshener hanging on your rear view mirror". Had to take that off and I was let go. Then a week later same cop pulled my buddy and I over but this time my buddy got a ticket for not having a front licenses plate on his Mercedes.
There are those people who try's to make you life harder or those who try's to make your life easier.

I don't know whether to laugh or close my browser....

Driving In Va sucks fuss everywhere. A Co worker got nabed doing 82 in a 55 on RTE 7
320 dollar fine, no points since he's from PA. They don't transfer points.
One of these days they'll get me using my radar.(9500I)
Lucky it picks them up in time to yank it out of the window.

Obviously you two guys don't understand the concept of sarcasm.

sarcasm is insanely stupid at times...funny...just like this one


Gimme my Crown Vic I DARE you to run from me.

i remember...
 

i remember being in the navy upstate new york i had a civic ex riced out like a mutha back in 2003 btw, anyways ended up racing the long countryside up with a suped up gold bmw. looked real cheesy like mine hahaha, anyways cop outta nowhere at the downslope of a huge hill caught both of us.

turns out the bmw had canadian license plates, and the trooper realizing i was in the service told me to get lost and he was going to 'handle' the bmw. i'll never forget that incident. i never sped like that again.

on the other hand i did get pulled over for my muffler being too loud in garden grove.... thats another story lol.
