[erocka1982]

Ha i was in texas last year for wrestlemania and went to pick up a buddy at the airport. apparently when your on a toll highway in tx, you have to take exits to go pay tolls? then you get back on. i didnt know that and stayed right on the highway. couple weeks later i got 2 tickets in the mail. had a picture of me in my rental car and everything...lol....skippin tolls...im a criminal!!! ha...ive done worse but if i list everything it might slow the site down

Too many>>>>

Have had quite a few incidents of my 35yrs of drivin.....but one sticks out>

I was home on military leave, was on our way back to ND from PA, Wife & kids was snoozin, I'm cruisin through IN doin 85 in a 55, Johnny goin the other way, down in the median he goes, I says "S*it, I just got snagged", Wife pops up, "Ah Timmy, how fast was you goin"...I told her, if looks coulda killed, I'd of dropped on the spot. This officer shoulda been playin football somewheres, he was 6'6" and probably 280#'s, he comes to my window, says would you step back to my car with your license & registration. I had it out already (my ORIGINAL paper license, no photos then, that exp. in 78), we get in the car, I had him my lic. & reg., he looks SHOCKED, says "I've never seen a license like this", I said "I'm in the AF and my license is good for as long as I'm active, that one expired in 78".....he lookin at it front & back, then says "Is it ok if I give you a warning?" I said I'd appreciate it. So he did, told me to "slower down and have a safe trip".

30mph over the speed limit will usually get ya a trip to the clink. So I felt pretty BLESSED!

Several weeks ago I was driving down the interstate and I hit a bird. It came right over the top of the hood and it got lodged under the windshield wiper. I wanted to pull over to get it off but traffic was pretty heavy so I tried turning on the wipers. It went back and forth a few times and didn't come off so I turned the wipers on high. After a couple of sweeps the bird came off, flipped right over the top of my truck and smacked the windshield of a Ohio State Trooper that was following me. Next thing I know he turns on his lights, pulls me over and gives me a ticket!




Apparently it's illegal to "flip the bird" to an Ohio State Trooper!

That was just bad luck all the way around for you!

Toll booths are the most worthless thing.Missouri wanted to put em in on 44 and 70,but it was shot down by the voters.

I was doing 118 in my mazda way back when, cop pulled me over.

He walks up to the car, the usual talk.

"I've got you going 75 in a 60."

I blink a few times. "Yes Sir, you got me."

probably the luckiest break of my life, if he'd stuck with my actual speed i'd probably have been cuffed.

I wouldn't of said a word other than what you said lol

This happened to me a few days after I got my Ranger.

First of all, i'd like to say the NH DMV is very nice to deal with! I had just bought the truck and had a set of 20 day temp (NH DMV does this for only $15) tags on it. When I fanally had the money two weeks later, I got a set of perminate metal plates. I'm running around Concord, Nh when a nice lady cop pulls me over. She poltiely mentions that the tags aren't in her system, (This is at 11:00 AM and I had gotten the tags about two hours ago.) and my inspection sticker is expired.
I explain that I just purchased the truck last week, and got the new tags this morning, and show her all the paperwork (new reg, bill of sale, title transfer application, & recipt from the DMV.) and mention that I've got an appointment to have it inspected the next day. She apolgizes for the misunderstanding and tells me to have a nice day.

my pop moved plates from a 83 econoline van to a 88 caravan in 1994. so in 1998 i got pulled over for improper plates on the caravan i pulled out the registration and the cop didnt want to see it. gave me a ticket. a month later my pop gets a notice in the mail to re-register the caravan with the plates that were on it. take it to court and imagine that the prosecutor does not want to pursue the ticket. guess the police needed to update the database

Eugene, Oregon. May 21, 1980. Driving my 1967 Galaxie w/390 and C-6.

I come off Beltline and I don't notice the County Deputies have a speed trap set. I Make a right turn peeling out and punch it up to 95 in a 45. Turn left on a green light and am going55 in a 40. Make a right turn, rolling through a red light. Going 45 in a 30 when I see red lights in my rear view. Crap. The Deputy asks if I was in a hurry. I was honest, telling him I graduated from high school yesterday and was just goofing off. He laughed and said thanks for being honest and wrote me up for 45 in a 30 which was $30. My dad chewed my ass for the ticket and I did not confess the rest.

Thank goodness that was a Lane County Deputy and not a Eugene city cop.

too many

is it bad that im going to school to be a cop and have a lot of these?

13 yo riding a moped with no license or registration. lifted weights with the cop, he told me to park it till i got my license

15 yo. state dick pulls me over for riding a 125cc honda elite. he said he knew i didnt have my motorcycle license, which i didnt, and wrote me a warning for it and my mom a ticket for no insurance, later dismissed.
2 weeks later same cop sees me riding it, tickets me.

16 yo. had my license for 2 days. screwing around behind the school, peeled out in front of the cop, questions us, says dont do it again.

couple tickets later, state pulls me over for doing 80 in a 65 after an ice storm. i was late for my crim law class. sees i wasnt wearing a seat belt and wrote me for that instead of the speeding.

2 months later another trooper stops me for no seatbelt. whole stop took 5 minutes. it was the last day of the month.

june 2009: late for work, doing 80 down a 55mph hill. county cop turns on me, we chat, knocked it down to 65, still made it to work on time.

one month to the day after that ticket i got pulled over by the trooper that gave me a warning for 80 in a 65. pulled me over for 67 in a 55, wrote me a warning for speed, no proof of insurance, expired tabs, ticketed for no front license plate.

2 months ago, MN state trooper pulls me over for not having my off road lights covered. let me off with a written warning because i am in MN West Law Enforcement and i was wearing my LE jacket.

Not that I am proud of this. But the way to describe my luckiest event was simply not going to jail. About 8 years ago, I hit a car with no car insurance (I really didnt know, as my mother was stealing the insurance money). Anyway I lost my license. I continued to drive as I had to. When the cop pulled me over, he cited me for a tail light out, and let me drive off. Later on it caught up with me though.

It's like walking around in uniform punching people and arresting anyone who fights back, it's a scumbag thing to do and any cop who does it should get flushed.

I had a local cop actually do something like this. He is the kind of guy that plants drugs during a search, he drives around with a micro ear listening into conversations. He is part of the reason I hate cops........ and if he ever sets foot in my house again, I WILL put a bullet in his head, somethings just can't be solved any other way.

this isn't mine but it happened when I was in the car.

we just got back from a TDY and the Captain gave me a ride home in his Corvette. he got pulled over for 125 in a 60 and the cop walked up and asked him for his pilot's license. So the Captain showed him his pilot's license (C130 pilot)...... the cop laughed and walked away.

remind me sometime to tell you about the time I was pulled over for 115 on I-90 going through Post Falls ID.

It was the summer of 1980. My brother Bill , his best friend Chuck , and I were driving his totally-restored '66 Chevy Impala back to Indiana from California. We were speeding through the Arizona desert (interstate 40 I think) at 140 mph ... hardly any cars were on the road, so we owned it.

We blow by a black Maserati.... the driver looked shocked that someone was passing him.... then minutes later... he catches up to us and blows by so fast that we thought we were standing still!

As soon as he passes us, we notice a semi coming on the other side of the interstate .... with a police car right behind it... We let off the gas quickly, but are only able to slow to about 95 mph by the time the cop catches up to us. He pulls along side us and says over his loudspeaker "Slow'er down pardner!", then he races off... after the Maserati (we were hoping this was the case anyway!)

A bout five miles further up the road , the cop has the Maserati pulled off the road . He's writing the poor bastage a ticket, LOL. The driver look s like he's wearing a tux , and has a long-legged blond babe standing next to him. As we drive by, he gives us a dirty look, LOL.
