how bad have you been ??

[redShift]

Ive heard that places like the open flats of wyoming or montana will give you a $5 fine you can pay on the spot if youre speeding, no matter how fast. My teacher was telling me that he was in his friends jaguar going 140 in the middle of nowhere in nevada and when the cop came up to his window after pulling him over, he said something like, "Well goddang, do you know how long it took me to catch up to you?" He paid the 5 bucks and got up to 140 again.

Been driving 3.5 years (or 4.5 years, if you count a permit) and have only been pulled over one time.

I was in my 84 S-10 Blazer doing 62 in a 45 without knowing it, as I had been futzing around with the speedo because it was off and ended up breaking it, sticking it at 85. Got completely out of the ticket because I proved I got it fixed that weekend and it was my first ticket, haven't been pulled since, despite some rather occasional hazardous driving

Well Ive been driving WITH my licence(where I can drive alone, not learners) for 3 months and never been pulled over or gone through a road block or anything.

I have been driving for about a yearish and the only cop encounter i had while I was driving was me and my friend went through a road block at 2am and I was freaking(15 years old) but i just pulled up all calm and asked him what they were looking for and he said "stolen car, where are you guys going this evening?" and I just simply replied "Girlfriend, want to see her picture?"(trying to change the subject) and he said "no thats alright have fun tonight"

"Well goddang, do you know how long it took me to catch up to you?" He paid the 5 bucks and got up to 140 again.

70mph in a 45mph zone. Cop said one more mile an hour faster and he would have my license.....he should have caught me earlier.

LMAO!

they actually mailed me a picture along with the ticket. lol, its a classic

Post it!

almost 2 years of licensed driving ... only one ticket which nothing happened

80 in 65 on freeway ... got a "slow down"
40+ in 25 and rolling thru stopsign "slow down"
racing a motorcycle and getting humiliated "now you now you cant beat those things"
and how could I forgot getting caught by the new fangled red light traffic cameras ... got a nice ticket of 3 angles of me running the light. It had only been red for .01 seconds though .. so it was bs. my mom didnt fill out the ticket right, so no points and no traffic school.
and my personal favorite:
having the cops thinking i had guns in the car, and setting up a roadblock on a main city road in all directions and detaining all 6 of us (one laying in back) at gunpoint. aaahh memories.

The fastest I was ever caught going was 83 in a 50, with 3 minors in the car at 3:00 AM, All the cop said was to be careful because there were three more state troopers up ahead and then he let me go. However, a few months later I lost my liscense due to having 17 points it (you're only allowed 12 in OH)!!! I got the tickets too fast for the computer to stop me at 12. 6 month suspension plus I had to carry high risk insurance for 5 years, which just came off last August. After I got my liscense back, my record was clean and clear. Since then I've only been pulled over twice.

Must be nice. In PA if you get 6 you need to take the drivers tests over again and at 7 you loose it until your under 6. Every year 2 points go away. I got pulled for 73 in a 45, and got 5 points for it. Oh, and all moving violations in PA are at least 2 points.

Back in 1971, right before entering the Army, I got nabbed in downtown Phoenix drag racing another kid. 2 days in lock-up, the judges recommendation to sell the car (which I did) and a $310.00 fine later, I was released to "go and sin no more"...

It was a nice car,tho...Hated to sell it.

What kind of car?

 

[Crazy5711]

I got a 125 in a 55 in Va. going back to base, and I was late, but the base was in NC and I live in NJ, so didn't get in trouble, just $100, and suspended for 3 months. still drove through, just went slow. I was in an 88 grand am, the speedometer only goes up to 85.

My friend had a 145 in a 35.

Adam:
It was a 1968 Dodge Charger with a 383CI engine that had been bored out .030 with domed pistons, crane full race cam, eldebrock HiRise Intake manifold, Hooker headers and a Holley 780 carb. Also had A hurst Super shifter and lakewood traction bars...

I washed many a dish to build that car!!!

My dad used to get SO pissed when i'd peel out in front of the house (or worse yet, in the driveway!)...I can still hear him yelling "YOU'RE FILLING THE HOUSE WITH TIRE SMOKE!!!".. he he

oh well....

Jim

ps: Crazy, Your friend beat my speed by 5 mph! 35mph speed zone also...

 

[Crazy5711]

That still makes us the three worst

 

[Crazy5711]

My friend was in a pinto with a 750hp dodge 360

 

[Silverblade]

If I was you I would have sold the car to an Uncle or a Friend for a year then buy it back.

[Mbrooks420]

Probobly because people were going 4 times the speed limit.
