Or you can drive the 250 miles back up here, get a lawyer and fight it in court.

Ahhhh... no thanks, check is in the mail. Point of story, don't ride the Talimena Scenic Drive on the weekends!

I woulda fought it on principal alone. I'm sure they didn't ticket the pick up for obtructing traffic did they?

Not my most expensive tickets....but the ones that pissed me off the most:

In 2007 I started a new job, that required me driving about 50 miles every morning to work. Along with the new job, I bought a fancy new sports car 

2002 Audi TT quattro...the hard top, not the conv. chick car 


Anyways, I was about a month in and I was cruising to work. There is about a 20 mile section that the Limit is 60 (even though it's perfectly straight and could easily be 100....but it's not). I KNOW not to speed in that section, as I had seen state troopers every morning and afternoon. So I go from my old mitsubishi junker, to this bright white coupe, and within a week--pulled over. 62mph in a 60mph zone. No joke. I had been driving with the cruise set at 66 every day in my mitsubishi. Never once. New car. Ticket.

I couldn't believe it. AND she actually gave me a ticket. SO pissed.

So I go on with my life. Next day...driving to work...6am. WHAM! lights on in the ditch. Same trooper. 62 in a 60. Gives me a second damn ticket.

I was so pissed I wanted to hit her with the car door when she walked up 

So I went to court thinking no way this was going to stand. Freakin lady shows up! and argues that I had been a constant nuisance on the road? I showed the judge the paper work on the car, showing I had just bought it a month and a half ago...how could I be a constant nuisance? She said she had consistantly seen me do illegal things on the road, but only had evidence to stop me those two times. I still don't get it. I'm not sure what I had done to piss her off so much.

Anyways, the judge reduced it to one ticket, and let me do defensive driving for it 

The Troopers pulled me over consistently for the next 3 months. Everything from 2-3 over the limit, to crossing a double yellow (I went wide, because they had someone else pulled over, to give them room...and a second car chased me down and gave me a warning?).

I couldn't handle it anymore, so I traded the TT for a VW golf, and haven't been pulled over since 


Not sure what that means...but it pissed me off majorly!

What a ....... you get the idea...

Pirate,

That is total bullshit. Was it DPS here in TX? Where ever it was that's still bullshit. At least the Judge cut you a little slack. Sounds like the officer had a mad on for Audis!

Yep. Good old Texas


Here is the only theory I have. If it's not this...I just don't know. Previous to me driving this route, or maybe at the same time, there must of been some other white coupe that hauled ass up and down this stretch or road. I never saw another Audi TT, but I do know there was at least one white 911 (along with a couple others, but different colors) that I saw on a couple occasions. Maybe she got us confused? You would think a DPS officer would know her makes and models, but IDK.

If that isn't it...then hell...I just don't know.

I can't think of any personal connection I have to the lady what so ever. Thank god she moved away...I think she is the Sheriff in some county not too far from here know.

Maybe I had slept with her daughter or something, and never called her back? 

Does your wife know?

Which part? The daughter part? 





Even if it was true, it was before we were married. 

So it doesn't count

Exactly.

Though, she does know the whole story, and makes fun of me about it all the time. She heard about it first hand as we knew each other at the time. Her and another girl I knew actually took my car one night to the store and got pulled over in town. Didn't get a ticket 

Imagine that. Two hot girls in a sports car don't get a ticket for speeding through town. 

Sometimes I wish I had boobs. Girl boobs...not the ones I have now 

 

 

 

100 in a 55 on the Tollway in Illinois at 1am. No one around so I thought I could open it up a little. Didnt see him off to the side hiding on an on ramp as I passed. Thought I was going to lose my license for a year but $800 bucks for a Lawyer plus a trade for 3 Days SWAP (Sherrifs Work Program i.e. cleaning trash on the side of the road) and I got it reduced. I was going to spend 3 days cleaning up my community anyway it just happened to coincide with the court order. 

way to put a positive spin on that

  Got a bunch of tickets when I was 18 tryin to outrun a cop on a dirtbike in Picher Oklahoma. I actually made it across the stateline but my brother who was 13 got ran off the road about 20ft before the stateline. Parents were real proud

  The thing that hacks me off is my wife has been stopped at least 30 times and she NEVER gets a ticket! OK, I think she's had two, but those are still pretty good odds.

One time we were going though Fayetteville Ark. about 2 in the morning. We had been to Little Rock to pick up my son who was coming home from Iraq. We had just stopped and changed drivers. So she takes off with her usual full throttle blast. We went about 2 miles and there's a Trooper in the median and he turns on his lights.. I start laughing and tell her she's gettin a damn ticket this time. So she pulls over and here he comes. He doesn't even go to the drivers side, he comes to the passenger side where I'm sitting and asks to see my drivers license! WTF! I'm not driving! So I tell him the story about picking up the son who's back from Iraq and we have a nice little chat. Finally he walks around to talk to my wife and he tells her there are a lot of drunks out this time of night and to be careful going home. Aargh!
