Without busting balls, what's the benefit of a sports car if it never speeds?

Hmm, can't accelerate very much without ending up speeding

Instant loss of license? Hefty punishment.

yes young people are hated here

insurance = 3 X normal rate

ticket that is over about 15-20 mph too fast = instant license removal

untill you are 25 then suddenly you can do whatever you want and unless you go say 40- mph too fast they will not really take your license

My license would have been taken a couple times if that were the case here

yes thus I don't speed

It apparently is extremely rare to not get into accidents and/or get fined in the first year of driving

I sure won that bet

And to the guy (I think Sig111) who had the camera ticket for turning right on red...it wasn't that you turned right on red...it was that you failed to come to a complete stop, and made a rolling turn. Judging from the pics, it appears you also did it from the second to right hand lane, and not the turning lane itself.

Edit: Disregard the last. I didn't notice the curb straight ahead in your lane. I haven't seen many two-lane right turn roads.

Man I got pulled over a few times.

Got nabbed once for a 75 in a 30. It was midnight and I was riding up A1A to meet up with some buddies. The cop wasn't able to clock me as I flew by but he came up from behind me and paced me at 51. I saw him coming so I slowed down to a more reasonable speeding speed. He rode too and let me off with a warning.

Got clocked once for 51 in a 30, on A1A, in my buddies car at like 3AM. Got off with a "failure to observe a traffic device".

Got pulled over for improper eye protection once. I had my visor up and no sun glasses on. Got a ticket for that one.

Got pulled over for riding with my brights on at night. I flat out told the cop, I don't turn them off at night because I've been run off the road too many times by cars that don't see me. I said I'd rather be alive with his ticket then dead without his ticket. He just let me go.

I got pulled over for making a right turn at an intersection that was "no turns". I was in a unfamiliar town. The cop just said, if you actually have a motorcycle endorsement I'll just let you go. I do, and he did.

Got pulled over on A1A, again, by a cop who felt that my plate wasn't visible in it's present location, tucked under my tail. It is plenty visible however. He couldn't see it because he was riding my ass so close with his fuckin SUV. I brake checked him... hahaha.. then he lit me up. No ticket.

Got pulled over by a Sherif once on 95 South because I lit it up on the on ramp. I apparently blew by him at a high rate of speed (140MPH). He said he got me at 90MPH in a 70MPH. It took him a while to come up behind me due to traffic. I didn't even know I blew by him till he told me afterwards but when I saw him coming up behind me I knew he was there for me. I toyed with him a little though. I don't like to ride next to tractor trailers on the highway so when I get to one I wait until the car in front of my has fully passed the truck before I'll begin to pass it. So I just kind of hang back until it's clear, once the car in front of my has passed the truck, I usually gun it to dart by the truck as quick as possible. Well the Sherif was behind me and we were cruising at 80MPH until I passed the truck which got me up to around 100MPH or so. Either way.. the Sherif let me off. Not even a written warning. He just ran my info and then let me go.

I think this might be the last time but I left my house once, having a bad day already, and I gunned it in 1st, hit about 70MPH (30MPH Zone) and a Sherif nabbed me. He was running laser from his driveway lol. Let me off with a "failure to observe traffic device".

I think thats about all of them.

OH there was another time.. these two cars were redneck road blocking me and I was late for work. It was like 6AM. When a small hole finally opened up so that I could get around them, I took it and darted past them, I hit about 70 (40MPH zone) and a motorcycle cop was going the other way. He did a u-turn, came up behind me, and got me. No ticket, but I was still late to work. haha

Anyone ever use Trapster and found it to be useful? I downloaded it to my iPhone a couple of days ago, and I'm trying it out. I guess it may be useful in unfamiliar areas to warn you of known speedtraps/red light cameras.

i don't understand the last sentence or what it means, but if you check my profile you know i don't live in nyc. over here, only speed measured by radar or by a cruiser actually tailgating the car and matching speeds and then using the cruiser's speedometer to determine the speeding offence. so in nyc, they dont allow people to dispute traffic tickets in court or what?
