Yeah, that would be shitty. Did the cop flip the fuck out when he pulled you over?

Nah, it was pretty funny. I drive a 2007 PT Cruiser Turbo, and PT Cruisers are pretty slow in general, but the turbo version is pretty damned fast. So his comment was "Wow, I didn't know these things went that fast"

What was your best excuse that got you out of a speeding ticket?

Got into C-Bus on a late flight one Friday after a speaking gig, and was pulled over on Rt 33 on the way back to Lancaster driving 70 in a 55. I was just trying to get back to Lancaster before 1:00 AM so I could go to a bar for a little while and decompress. I ended up rambling to the officer about how awful my day was and the BS about the "new" airport security (this was 2002, and my story was actually true) and told him I just wanted to get home and go to bed, and that I wasn't watching the speedometer. He had sympathy for my pain and let me go.

What was the most obnoxious thing that a cop did while pulling you over?

Shining that damn flashlight into your eyes point blank. Always! Enough with the flashlights already!

Men only, what is the fastest you have ever been going when pulled over?

My only speeding ticket was being clocked at 86 in a 55 on I-71 through Louisville in '03(?). I was driving back from Mardi Gras with some buddies and got hit right at a point where the speed limit dropped from 65 to 55, and all the other, faster cars in my lane ahead of me got on the I-265 ramp, leaving me high and dry.

I've got three tickets in the past couple months. I've been doing a lot of driving back and forth to Orlando. My first ticket was in Miami Beach doing 45 in a 30... the cop told me "fight it, because "IF" I don't show up to court, it's like it never happened... I HIGHLY reccomend you do this". The next ticket was 92 in a 70 in Kissimmee, FL.. that cop wrote down the wrong license number and spelled my last name wrong on the ticket. I think I can just ignore it, cause what can they do.. suspend my Ohio license? Nope! Then last week I got a 96 in a 70 in Port St. Lucie. I didn't have my insuranse card handy and when the cop came back to my car he said " I'm gonna let you off with a warning... for the insuranse... but, sign here for your ticket." I'll just give that one to a traffic lawyer anyway and let them deal with it.

Been pulled over 4 times...

The 2 times I got tickets the location was listed on the speedtrap website that was posted about a year ago...

The last time I was pulled over was on 117 going home to Lima and I was going 70 in a 55 and I told the cop I was going to visit my GPA in the hospital which I was and he let me off...

The worst time was my first one when I was 16 and I didnt have my license on me, b/c I had just got done with bball practice and had went to Shawnee to watch Butler play, so I had to sit in the back of the cruiser while he asked me all my info, took about 25 minutes...

When I was younger, about 22, I was driving from Fayettville, NC to Biloxi, Mississippi with a group of buddies. I got pulled over just inside of the Mississippi state line doing 67 in a 55. The cop that pulled liked like Bubba from Heat of the Night. His shirt was about 2 sizes to small and unbuttoned about a third of the way. He had a giant dip in, and he was wearing a cowboy hat. He strutted up to my car with his thumbs tucked inside the front of his pants spit on the ground beside my car and said in the deapest southern accent imaginable "license and registration, sir." I gave it to him and he strutted back to his cruiser. About five minutes later he struts back up to my car hands me my registration and license back and proceeds to give me the following speech.

Hillbilly Cop said:
Now Mr. KSB, I see by your license you are not from Mississippi, that you are in fact from Ohio. Now I don't know how they do things up there in Ohio seeings as I've never left Dixie, God bless. (At this point he actually kisses his hand and holds it up to the sky) But you see down here in the great state of Mississippi you'll see white signs with black numbering on them occassionally as you drive down our fine highways. And what you're going to want to do when you see one of those signs is take note of what number is on it and then look at your dashboard. Now what you're going to want to do is try to match the number on your dashboard to the number on the sign. Now Mr. KSB, if you can do that you'll have yourself a fine time driving through my beautiful state. Now to remind you to do that, what I'm going to do is write you this here ticket.

I was so pissed off it was years before I ever drove through Mississippi again. Now I guess I think it's kind of funny.

Caught Speeding

A man gets stopped for speeding at 95 mph in a 50 speed limit zone. The cop askes for his drivers license and the guy says, ?I?m sorry officer, but my license has been suspended.?

The cop askes for his registration. ?It?s in the glove compartment? replies the man, ?but it?s not in my name.?

?Why is that? asks the cop. ?Well it?s because I stole this car in a car jacking and I killed the woman who was driving the car. Then I stuffed her in the boot of the car and the gun I used to kill her is in the glove compartment.?

This is too mush for the officer to handle and he tells the man to keep his hands on the wheel while he radios for back-up.

When the sergeant shows up, the cop tells him the story and he walks around to the man in the car. The sergeant asks to see the guy?s drivers license and the guy hands it over and it is valid with the guys real name and information.

The supervisor asks for the registration and the guy says, ?It?s in the Glove compartment.? The supervisor tells the guy to keep his hands in sight and walks around to the passenger side and opens the glove compartment.

There is the registration in the guys name and everything seems in order. Next the supervisor asks the guy to get out and open the trunk. The guy opens the trunk and the only thing there is a spare tire.

At this point the supervisor tells the guy what the other cop had told him.

The guy replies ?I bet that lying pig told you I was speeding too!?

My son just came home from a dentist appointment and proceeds to tell me he got a speeding ticket.....Ugh!!!!
He got clocked going 41 in a 35 mph zone. The thing that really pisses me off (other than the ticket of course) is the $140 that is going to come out of mine/his pocket. The actual citation is for $10, but the freakin' court costs are $130!!!!!
Are we to believe it costs the court $130 to process a ticket??? And we want to give these boneheads our health care??? Are you kidding me??? This is ridiculous as we charge the population more for speeding than petty theft or shoplifting.........

And while I at it I suppose it costs the airlines to $150 to change my ticket from 4:30 pm departure to 6:15pm departure??? Give me a freakin' break!!!! OK, rant over and I do feel better....:)

I've been pulled over a lot, but the fastest I was going was 103 in a 65 in CA. Ticket cost me $380. Cop was cool about it.

My brother is a cop so I use that as an excuse and it gets me out of the ticket about 50% of the time.

Got out of a ticket earlier this year going 93 in a 65 driving to Las Vegas using my brother is a cop thing. Luckily the cop had pulled over another guy at the same time and that guy was a Phoenix cop too and verified my story. That was lucky as hell.

Got pulled over going 73 in a 55 about 3 weeks ago and instead of giving me a speeding ticket, the guy gave me a "waste of finite resources" ticket which cost me $74 and it doesn't go on my driving record.
