I get pulled over all the time man but most cops are just asshats and see me being a younger kid in a nice car and they live to fuk with you. Like they dont have anything better to do. But theres this one cop whos a fukin pain in my a$$ he will follow me all the **** time and i dont understand why. But tonight i was sitting at sheets like over there he is at a left turn red light. He waits about 2 seconds i keep watching him he goes right through the red light........................ ya defently time to start carrying to vid camera around when i go chill up at the mile (place where everyone with nice cars or cars in progress goes just to bullshit) They think they own the world....... And honestly man its not like you where flying you know what i mean i bet 80% of the time most people are doing more than 10 mph over the speed limit.

I wasn't speeding though...

That was the same place I got a ticket a month ago. I go through there about once a month.

I was all over the speed limit...

He effed up and he knew it.

Works dosent it? My neighboring town is cop HELL.. everyone knows not to speed there because they will nail your *** to the wall for every little thing they can think of to ticket you for.. NOONE gets a break

If a town has a reputation for being brutal when it comes to cops and tickets, then people arent going to speed in there town.. it gets the point across and gets the job done, even if they come off as assholes

i'll tell ya the same thing i told you last time. slow your *** down. if you know they patrol that area, go especially slow

Heres a tip... STOP HITTING THE BRAKES

Look at it logically... Half the time when a cops cruising around he's focused on the road / his driving etc... If your in the other lane about to pass a cop going 50 in a 35.. well dude, its too late.. he's already seen you.. your best bet is to NOT hit the brakes and make it plain as day to the officer that your slowing down.. just let off the gas and coast by him and hope he dosent notice.. its way more conventional then freaking out and making your car do a nose dive..

ive gotten away from afew tickets by just cruising past him and him not noticing instead of slamming the brakes and making it plain as day

I've never gotten a speeding ticket yet.. knock on wood. When I am driving my Porsche i go 70 in the 30mph S curves.

Also, officers understand that sometimes you are in a world of your own and not paying attention to your speed. Shit happens, so just let off the gas. If you hit the break they are going to automatically think, he knows he's speeding. Make sense? Probably not, but I've (knock on keyboard 78877uh) never gotten a speeding ticket and I speed all the time. Usually you can find me +10-15. Although I try to stay around the +10 range, except in city limits where the speed is 30-35.

Good advice. Staying calm and collected and IN CONTROL are some of the best ways to avoid police attention. As soon as you begin to show signs of panic, and begin abrupt manuvers you become a moving hazard and are begging to get pulled over. People who panic when the police around are usually doing something wrong.

I've had the opportnity to be busted for, (very nearly): street racing, drinking and driving as a minor, speeding, transporting liquor as a minor, transporting intoxicated persons as a minor, failure to maintain control of the vehicle, and probably more. If anyone wants a good story ask about any of them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But as long as you stay cool, avoid drawing attention to yourself, and when you see the cop, correct your wrongful action as best as you can without endangering others, you are usually gonna be safe unless they are pricks.

here in california, it okay to go 5 miles over but anything more your fair game, just keep it the speed limit next time......lesson learned?

Idiots never learn. Speed limit signs FTW. They aren't there just to make the road pretty.

Its a guideline not a limit.

 

[Phrozt 10+ year member]

and yet still.. people look past the fact...

I was not speeding.

My brakes are completely shot. If he said the person in front of me was doing 43.. then I was doing 40 at most.. regardless of the limit.
