cop pulled me over

[Pepino]

i have been pulled over 4 times with my vx and i always get warnings but this last time i was trying to avoid all the freaking holes that snow has made on the pavement here in milwaukee so i got distracted and sped up a little and then when i noticed i had a freaking cop behind me with the turret lights on so i pulled over and he gave me a 109 dollar ticket! he didnt say anything about me not having a front license plate he didnt say anything abaout my taillight and headlight blackouts but he gave me one for being 17 over the limit i was going to ask if i could at least take a picture of our cars together but i though it would be too hypocrtical so i didnt lol

Whew, that was a hard read. Lack of punctuation nearly gave me a seizure.

I wouldn't complain. Sounds like you were lucky to only get a $109. For about 15 over, you can be looking at about $270.

Stop for a second and think about "17" over the limit. In a "55", that would be 72. In a "30", that would be 47. Easier to understand when the actual limit is higher. Though, speeding up to avoid bad road conditions strikes me as.... the opposite of what I would imagine doing.

A ticket at any time is a real bummer. My last one was so long ago that I think it can be measured in decades rather than years (knock on wood).

I remembered this picture when I read your woes. Enjoy.

Yeah, I get pulled over all the time. It sucks. Just 2 weeks ago I got pulled over for having a dirty license plate. The cop was just bored I think. He said my plates were severely obstructed. Funny since I was driving through some huge muddy slush holes like 10 mintes prior to getting stopped. He didn't cite me for anything, and I guess he didn't notice that my wife was sitting in the back of my VX without any seat (my brother was up front).

Well, my brother is like 6'2". He's a big boy....and my wife is a lot smaller and said she would ride in back. No big deal really for her, but for my brother it would be much tighter...

thats actually really funny, if u dont think about it and just picture the whole scene in your head, seeing nfpgasmask telling his wife to get in the back. " he didn't notice that my wife was sitting in the back of my VX without any seat (my brother was up front)." lol.


well i have been pulled over only 2 times in my life, 1 was cuz my window tint was to dark, here in Cali, but he let me go cuz i'm from florida and he couldn't give me a ticket, and second, i didn't completely stop on a stop sign, but he let me go cuz he found out i was in the Coast Guard . And 1 more time but it was an accedent and it was my falt, but i didn't get a ticket at all, this was back in florida like 2 years ago.

Eeeeeek!

I always use the old motto, "5 you're fine 10 you're mine" before I write tickets.
