Speeding ticket technicality question

I got pulled over a couple of weeks ago because my license plate light was blown. The cop just told me to pick up a bulb the next day and sent me on my way within two minutes.

 

Knew there was a reason I loved you, BBAM.

 

Agreed. Late to thread, but 25 means a residential neighborhood. My kid may play on that street someday.

Never go more than 10 over. Usually they won't look twice if you are 35 in a 25 and just wait for a bigger fish going 50.

Using the not my address defense is just stupid.

It is sure to...

 

I agree. I've gotten out of at least two tickets for just fessing up. Both times I was cruising on a highway...out of state, too, now that I think about it. Both times I said "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was going that fast."

I firmly believe if a cop is going to nail your ass, he's going to nail your ass regardless of what you say when he arrives at the window. If he's willing to let you off with a warning, then being a good guy and apologizing can only help your case.

And both times, the ungodly mess I had in my car proved to be a conversation starter.

 

I firmly believe there's some sort of asterisk near my name in the cop database that tells officers they can't give me a warning any more. I got pulled over a lot in my early 20s and I got a warning 2/3 of the time.

Now they always come back with a ticket. That's why I've really tried to slow down in the last year, but it can be really hard.

I'm just comfortable driving faster than everyone else. I'd rather pass someone - and have them in front of me where I can see them - than have some stupid asshole coming up in my blindspot while on his cell phone.

I hate traveling in packs. There's more chance of an accident that way. If I go a couple of miles per hour faster, I'm alone and less susceptible to a pileup.

 

i knew a guy who swore he was a better driver when he was drunk.

 

Was his name Curtis Turner?

 

wow dude. solid pull.
