Pulled over....

[charger_cody]

Welp got pulled over for my first time yesterday. 52 in a 40. No ticket got a warning. Cop came up and said
"How ya doing sir?"
Me-"Eh I have had better days."
Cop- "I got ya doing a 52 in a 40."
"Why were you going so fast?"
Me" Honestly sir no excuses I was on an open road with no cars and just wanted to let it loose." 
Cop leaves then comes back to my window.
Cop-"I own a RamCharger also!!!!"
I had no reaction I kinda couldn't believe he said it.
Cop-"Since your driving record is perfect i'll let you off on a warning"
Me-"appreciate it sir"

I got pulled over for the first time when I was 18 years old.  Unfortunately for me it was an expensive lesson.  I was roasting the tires at a red light in my 70 Challenger, next to my buddy on a four lane highway.   When the cop pulled me over I was about a mile down the road and it was about midnight.  I was tagged for excessive exceleration and no insurance.  Two trips to court later and one new insurance premium, I was $400 poorer in fines and insurance premiums....    It was worth it though.  My buddy had an Aspen with a leaning tower of power and he couldn't turn um over like I could.    That was 25 years ago.

I got pulled over only once in my 30 somethin years of driving. I was 17 and driving the Blue Goose. It was late at night in nowhere Curritick only got one stoplight county and I was doing 40-45 in a 55. Trooper pulls me over to see what's the deal with his flashlight shining on me. I said, "I got nowhere to go fast". Trooper told me to speed it up.

Definately your lucky day.

Cops around my parts feel they just hit the lotter when they get to write a ticket for someone that has a perfect record.

I got lucky once and got pulled over doing 110 in a 55. Got a ticket for 70 in a 55 and a 45 minute lexture.
When the officer asked me if I knew how fast I was going I told him No, My speedo only goes to 85.

Ok, I guess I'll bite here..Back when i had the Mustang (5.0), it felt like I got pulled every other day..At one point, I had about -17 Points on my License and had to go in for the "personal Interview"...

Q:one
1. "Waht happened here?"
A: "I got busted for "Engaging in an illeagal speed contest upon the public highway"..

2.Q:And here?"
A: "Same thing"..

3. Q. How about this one?"
A: "Again, same thing"

4. Q: "You don't seem to learn do ya'?"
A: "Oh yes, I learned Plenty..Like where NOT to do it again"...

lucky you. over here you'd have ticket for sure

[bull]

I got stopped 11 times in my '70 Charger before I got my first ticket. I didn't gripe too much even though I could have got out of it,  because I definitely deserved it at that point.

[charger_cody]

Great stories fellas!!!!! yea I think I lucked out. I did know the cop kind of though. And he knew me. He is the highschool parol officer.

I never got a ticket while driving any of my own cars which is kind of odd considering I probably should have gotten dozens over the years. I got an illegal passing one while in my sister's Dart, one speeding in my wife's car, & several speeding in a delivery van back in college. None were for excessive speeds, they were all less than 10 to 15 MPH over in a 50 or a 55 zone.

I've only gotten out of one ticket in all the years I've been driving since 1980, & that was the one & only time I was stopped by a female state trooper for doing 40 in a 30. I simply told her the truth, which was that my jackass boss told me I had to get the route done faster or I'd be in trouble, so I was trying to. Guess she felt sorry for me & let me go.

Or it may have been my good looks & natural charm.

        I havent laughed out loud at work in a long time Bob, you go ahead and keep thinking that was the reason....

Never been caught speeding, which is an honest-to-god miracle. I have had a few disagreements with the Swedish police department though.
Last time was... "interesting".
I was driving home from work in the summer in my latest commuter bucket, an '84 Volvo 244. Leaned on that thing as hard as I could, picked out a nice road in the country side with plenty of "challenging" sections and tried to beat my own time almost every day. You know what I'm talking about...
So there I am. Friday afternoon, work is done and I just want to get home. Revving that poor 2.3 to valve float, downshifting from fifth into third while squealing my way into a blind turn and everything is just perfect, you know?
The only problem is, halfway through there was a car parked. In the middle of the road.
Locked all four wheels up, missed the car by about three feet, went over a lawn and got my heap stopped inches from a wrought-iron gate.
I look in the mirror, trying to swallow my heart and lungs back down again, and three very unpleasant facts become clear:
The car I almost clipped doing 50+ has blue rotating lights on the roof.
The doors are lettered SILOP (that would be ECILOP in english),
And stepping out of them are two very, very pissed off guys dressed in blue with pistols strapped to their belts.
The rest is sort of fuzzy, but I vividly remember one part of the conversation;

PO: How fast were you going?
Me: Don't know.
PO: How. Fast. Were. You. Going?
Me: I don't know!
PO: FOR F*CKS SAKE! The skidmarks are a HUNDRED FEET LONG. HOW FAST WERE YOU GOING?!
Me: Uhm... 50?

Let's just say I signed a "ticket" for reckless driving after a 30 minute discussion about my intelligence, sanity and driving aptitude. I'm still waiting for the district prosecutor to stuff my balls in a box for this little incident, amazed they haven't fined me yet...
(Yes, I did learn something. Don't do dumb shit like this on public roads and DON'T DRIVE VOLVOS!)

Before I turned 19 I had 16 tickets and had things like "Exhibition Driving" (In a 72 Datsun pick-up?) Not wearing a helmet...in a 64 Nova? I even got pulled over for a bumper sticker on my Vega GT that said: WARNING: I SPEED UP TO RUN DOWN SMALL ANIMALS!(It's a joke) The best one was I had stayed up late to watch Jimmy Cagney in a gangster movie that ended with him dying in a hail of bullets yelling "You'll never get me copper's!!" the next day at a 4 way stop I pass a cop going the other way and (with the windows up) I said: You'll never get me copper's. He slammed on the brakes, turned on the lights and siren while doing a U turn and pulled me over. He hassled me for 30 minutes, gave me a bunch of crap till I told him to just write a ticket and I'll report his butt to his super and see him in court because I can SAY anything I want! (He "let me go")  AHHH life in the 70's!

I got pulled over on Rt495 in Mass in 1980 in my RoadRunner by an unmarked cop.

Cop: "Do you know how fast you were going?"

Me: "80?"

Cop: "I was doing 80 and you passed me like I was standing still..."

Me: "uh...."

Cop: "Slow down and have a good night boys"

Good thing he didn't see the beer behind my seat.

Passing through a one "Barney", known speed trap town, I didn't realize the 35mph zone ended out in the cornfield.  With a straight wide open road though rural Ohio, at 8am on a Saturday, I went ahead and ran through the gears of the Dodge Laser Turbo Z.  With Jimmy Buffet blaring, I bounced the speedo off 85mph several times. My guess is about 105 mph. 

In a few short miles, two 18 wheelers on just enough of a curve, made me shut it down.  That's when I looked in the mirror and saw the tiny flashing blue gumballs.  I pulled over fearing they belonged to the Ohio State Patrol, who would have launched a state-wide man hunt and executed me on the spot when I was caught.  You Ohio guys know what I'm saying.

I leaned on the front fender awaiting my upcoming incarceration.  I must have been white as a ghost.

It turned out to be Barney in a late 70's Chevy Caprice:

Me:      Good morning officer
Barney: Don't worry I can only cite you for 53 in a 35 - but I know you were going a lot faster than that.
Me:      yes sir

license run -ticket written (just south of $200 w/court costs)

Barney: Nice car.
Me:      Here's my card.  Stop in and I will sell you one.  (summer job selling dodges)

Barney: So how fast were you going, anyway?
Me:      'bout 85.
Barney: LOL.  Sure.

Barney: (Big got-your-ass-smile)  Slow down..and ..... Have A Nice Day!

Like it was "on que", the left rear tire of a Caprice.... EXPLODES!

Me:     (Big FU Smile) You too officer.

[saltdog]

while in highschool, was cruizin the riverel highschool for girls and when I left ,thought I would leave some tire on the street and show them a little charger power.
Buddy of mine was following in a 70 SS camaro.We stop side by side at the next light reving the engines,ready to go for it,when we hear"both of u pull over".Sure enough
it was a U.S. marshall. How many people have been pulled over by a U.S. marshall? We'll after about a half hour of lecture he says "I should give you two a ticket" After that it
was all "yes sir ,no sir".Another half hour of lecture and we were let go after promising we would never do it again.

[mikesbbody]

Today pulling out of the gas station, I got the Charger a little sideways (ok, big time sideways  ) drove around a cornor and there were 4 cops just staring at me...nothing happened, they had pulled over a Ricer  I have been very lucky in the Charger never been pulled over despite some of the thing's I've done 

[rav440]

TROOPER : son ive been waiting for you all day !

GEORGE : well officer i got here as fast as i could ...

[ChgrSteve67]

I picked up my trailer today at my Uncles house and got pulled over while doing 62 in a 65.

I guess its 55 if you have a trailer so the motor cycle cop wrote me up for 68 in a 55 just to maximize his time and effort.

I told him I just finished the trailer and this is the first time its been on the road.
He said he would be right back and came back with a ticket.

No leanency or warnings with the CHP in CA.

Will be interesting to see what this ticket is going to cost me.

[HITMAN 149]

ummmm?!?!?! i love that you were doing 62 in a 65!!! the last i checked that was UNDER the speed limit!!! (was he an extra on THE MOVIE SUPER TROOPERS?!?!? LMAO)
and i also love how he fCALCULATED a new MPH to give you a ticket!?!?! WTF!!!??? damn bro.. that sucks!!
sorrrry but even us cops don't like the douchebag cops!! we have no choice.. we have to work with them!!
if it's not too much of a hastle... (taking off work & distance) i tell everyone GO FIGHT IT!!!! ya never know.. maybe the jerkoff cop won't show up, or ALOT of times the prosecutor will downgrade your ticket... if you plead guilty.....

Here is a good traffic stop story, you Washington guys will know the areas.

In 2003 i had been laid of from Microsoft, so i took a job with contactor, working up at Whidbey Island NAS.  I lived in Bothell, about a 60 mile drive each way, we were imaging 50,000 computers for all the Navy base's in the area.  I worked 2nd shift 3:30 to 12 am.

I took the shortcut through Mt Vernon through Deception Pass and over to the base.

The last night we had a party, food and booze.  I had 3 or 4 Tequila shots and some tacos, so i wasnt actually drinking on a empty stomach.

For those that dont know, Mt Vernon is a little town, with farmland around it, speed limit is 55, but it goes right down to 25 when you hit the town.

I was driving home, I had a PT Cruiser back then, by now it was 1 in the morning or so, i just want to get home. I hit the town and didnt slow down, until a cop pulls out and makes a left turn in front of me, then i look and i am doing 65, in a 25.  OOPS.

He follows me, without pulling me over, there is a bridge over the Skagit River, then a light on the other side.  Crossing the bridge, i see another cop pulling out and stopping at the light, Great.

So i stop behind the cop, and the other cop stops behind me, the suspence is killing me, just do something already.

The light turns green, and they both sit there still, Great.  The guy behind me puts on his lights and the guy in front pulls into a parking lot, i follow, and the guy behind follows too.  The one guys sits there, and the other guy comes up,

"Whats the hurry"  "Know how fast you were going"

No, "WHAT, You werre doing 67 MPH in a 25, Whats the problem"?  He's shining his light in my face seeing if i was high or anything. 

"I just want to get home"  "Where have you been"? the bar"  I told him what we had been doing, and he calmed down a bit,

He gets his breathalizer out, "Here, blow in this for me"  Oh, oh.

I blow in it, it didnt do anything and he didnt say anything after.  He shines his light in my face again, you sure your ok?  Yeah, just tired.

"get out of the car for me"  Oh, Oh.  "Stand in front of the car, arms out, touch your nose"  I do

'count from 10 to 1 backwards"  I do.  "walk that line over there, heel to to"  I do

Hes really trying to find a reason to keep me.  "Where do you live"  Bothell

"You know you can stay in this lot here over night if you want"  Nah, i just want to get home.

"You sure your ok?"  Yeah, Hes shining his light in my eyes this whole time.  Yeah.

Hes thinking real hard, he waves at his buddy that has been sitting across the lot, and he takes off.

"Let me see your id"  Great, after all this.  He tells me to stay there, and goes to his car for 10 min, comes back.  Ok, you sure you can drive ok?"  Yeah,   "OK"  Pull over if you feel you need to"  He hands me my licence, "Watch your Speed"  And he lets me go.

Getting on the freeway though, i pass his buddy on the side of the road and he follows me for a few miles.  WHEW.

Long post, sorry
