How many times have you been pulled over? Or have you ever been pulled over? If so, have you been able to weasel your way out of tickets? I have been pulled over 3 times, (once for going 60 in a 25 zone), and I have been able to get out of a ticket all 3 times. I have a friend who has been pulled over 21 (:eek: ) times and has only gotten one ticket.

I got pulled over 3 time and got a ticket every time, and because I'm under 18 I lost my license twice already,
1st-63 in a 35
2nd-55 in a 35
3rd-49 in a 35
all in a damn minivan, I HATE COPS
can't they do anything better, like go after people who rip off systems

I'm not as lucky with cops either, I have had 6 tickets in the last 4 years.
and I have only gotten out of a a ticket once, and thats only because the cop's son was friends with my little brother and he recognized my last name.

Oh yeah, now theres something much better than arresting people who are breaking the law and ENDANGERING innocents. Let's ignore the dangerous ones and focus on the ones who are just stealing those really, REALLY annoying bass cannons.:rolleyes:

twice, when I was going too slow *lost all oil, put more in but had major knock* For not having lights on and thats it, no ticket. Buzzed a CHP going 120, he was giving someone else a ticket
in a race with a type R, I beat him, then he beat me, then he got pulled over
race with a turbo'd prelude, beat him, three times, he pulled over for gas (and for his pride probally) and cop rolled him.

I have had one accident and I have been pulled over four times.
Jeep:
Accident: I was at the 2nd worst intersection in Longmont, CO stuck at this 2-way stop. I was there for what seemed like 10 min and I was getting an itchy foot. The guy coming the opposite way pulls out and begins to cross. I think is okay to go so I give it another glance and I can't see anybody so I floor it. All of the sudden there is a minivan in front of me, I slammed the brakes but it was too late, I T-boned him. His van was pushed into the curb which resulted in the flattening of the two tires. My bumper left a nice sized dent in the other side hit the wheel well and flattened that tire before being ripped off. The problem is these two enormous trees that blocked the view. In the end I got a 4 point ticket for failure to yield at a stop sign and later had it reduced to 2 points. I did about $2700.00 in damage to this guy’s company mail van. Later I had the two trees in question cut down, and the accident rate at that intersection dropped.
Ticket: I was back in Longmont heading to the local Game Force. Well, I come upon this old boat of a car and go to pass him since he is going 10 under the limit. As I do he begins swerving and trying to hit me, so I floor it to get passed him. As I do I fly past what looks like a radar trap. Right then a cop pulls out and I got a speeding ticket for going 10 over.
Pulled over: This time I was headed from my house in Lyons, CO to take the graveyard shift for someone at work. I was late and speeding. I was going 75 in a 55 zone. As I turn on to Hover road in Longmont I see a cop pull a U turn. He then pulls me over. He was a really cool guy and I got of with a warning.
LeBaron:
Pulled over: It was Friday night in Longmont, so it was cruise night one Main street. I was head to a friend’s house and came upon a Chevy Monte Carlo, mid 90s. He revs his engine. Except I see a cop at the light across from us, so I bring up the RPM. The light turns green and I take off like normal he takes off squealing his tires and almost running into some parked cars. The cop pulls a U turn and pulls him over. I pass buy and he gave me a thumbs up. Later that night he pulls me over and we sat there and talked little about my car and what not. He said he thought he was going to be giving out two tickets.
Ticket: I was headed to work and I was late so of course I was speeding. There is nobody around me and I should have taken that as a sign to slow down, just I do I pass a cop and he pulls out and gives be a ticket for doing 45 in a 35. I went to traffic school and paid the ticket.

in my ~10 months of driving ive been pulled over about 10 times
3 breath tests in 3 days at easter time.
2 for speeding and dangerous(taking corners fast) driving i got let off both, cause cops just feel sorry when they see me in a shitbox.
and afew others i cant remember, i usualy get pulled over cause i have 5 people in my car, or cause my car looks stolen.
one example was. i was doing 10 over, took a round-about at 40km/h accelerated out to 60, broke, did a uturn pretty fast right to outside my house, i see a black tinted sedan pull up beside me on the other side of the road with some guy staring me out, he pulles up behind me and gets out and asks me for my license, it was an undercover cop, i give him my liscense and he said "oh you live right here" "sorry, we just saw you looping around, weve had some robberys in the area and you just looked abit sus" "anyway have a nice night"

I've been pulled over once for doing 50 in a 40, but I also had no proof of insurance at the time (that's like a $450 fine). My car had been in an accident a few days before, and there was shattered glass in the car, and a huge gash from fender to rear quarter panel on the drivers side. So I think the guy felt sorry for me and just told me to "slow your ass down" and let me go. Sometimes cops can be cool.

havent gotten any tickets yet, dont plan to.
ill turn down a race unless im absolutely 103.4% sure there isnt a threat of a cop. so far i've done pretty good, plenty of races raced and not one ticket.

I've never been pulled over yet.
But if you drive twice the speed limit that's just plain dumb, you shouldn't expect the cops to do nothing if they catch you, they're only doing their jobs.

I got pulled over twice, once was for going 97 in a 55, the cop was real cool about it, and wrote it at 84+, which later the judge decided all I needed to do was go to drivers class. The other time I got pulled over was for having a headlamp out.
All you have to do is be honest and respectful and you will get out of most tickets. However sometimes cops have a quota to fill, and have to ticket you. I have my speeding ticket on my computer I think.
