What's your worst ticket?

[badgalbetty]

1996- I was on my Triumph Daytona and they got me on radar at 156 in a 35.I reached a deal that basically said I will sell the bike in lieu of a ticket. Gotta love that cop. I kept my end of the deal and so did he.
I think it was because I was a single parent raising my daughters and if I went to jail, they would be taken into care and then once kids are in the system.......He did not want that. I was so lucky!

WoW! Some Hooligans on here for sure. It was a simpler time just a decade or so ago.
Man I'm 47 yrs old and still can't seem to go fast enough! I'm always looking for 7th gear on whatever I'm on.
Well, they got me the other night, too. 112 in a 65. They sorta half-ass arrested me although I was not given my Miranda rights, wasn't finger printed. Great mug shot, though . If I can get it I'll sure post it.!


Keep talking, It's helping me feel better.

You only get read your Miranda rights if they want to question you and use your statements against you in court.

the one that sucked the most was

getting a ticket and then another one the very next day.   now that was a horrible weekend.  Glad it did not happen in the same city.  Phew.


as for the other many tickets, let's just say some of my friends refer to me as ticket magnet. 

It's never good when  pulls your record and says ".. so i am looking at four digit license on the screen and figure it is a bike but then I have to page down and down down and down."

the other ticket that sucked recently more than the impound is the f'er that pulled me over for my license plate not being clearly visible.  aHole !

154 in a 55.  Reduced to 84 because the officer liked the bike..

I foolishly thought the same thing back when my stupidity happened and thought that I wasn't technically arrested.
Wrong!

Got to know the arresting cops later on during my community service and not only were the pretty cool but they busted my chops and made fun of me for that night.

Some simple mods to that rear axle and you wouldn't have spun. . .

my wife has always said it was because it was a Ford.

She's right, but not for the reason she thinks.

Those mustangs had a crappy non parallel 4 link rear that would bind at a certain amount of body roll.  After that it just wouldn't move any more and you get snap over steer.

On my CP autox car I ditched one of the upper arms and made the other on my own with a spherical rod end.  Worked awesome.

95 in a 55 1AM on a long stretch of highway w/ no one around except me and the cop w/ radar.
5 points and $550.00 and had to take a $75 online drivers ed course

The SVO springs made for very little body roll though.
This car still had the stock rear end too, can't believe it lasted. It was a one legger too, couldn't do a donut, just would drive around in a circle roasting the inside wheel 

What do want for a POS that I put together for fairly cheap?

I remember that story when it came out and it was an RC51 and there were disputes of accuracy for which, IIRC, the defendant got off on the 200mph charge but was still charged with Reckless and lost his liscence for a period of time for the whole debacle

1994 - road rage induced speeding ticket. There was some dickhead in front of me who kept jamming the brakes, speeding up and then swerving into the wrong lane when I could pass (for no reason other than he probably thought it was fun). He finally turned onto a side street and I jammed the accelerator going up a hill as the LEO crested coming from the other direction. I think it was 70 in a 25, but I doubt that. I was going uphill in a Subaru Justy. Either way, I was already on such a tight budget (I was driving a Justy after all) that it meant I couldn't really eat for a couple weeks.  I'm glad I didn't have the mechanical muscle some of you had when I was 19.

The one that pisses me off the most... a long slog across Texas in a company van, I set the cruise at 5 over the speed limit on some state route, but with a 30+ MPH tail wind the cop clocked me at 7 over.  Middle of nowhere, nobody else in sight, bright afternoon, long flat road, but I got a ticket for that.  For a $250 cashier's check to the county judge (to her name directly, IIRC) I got a deferral on the ticket. 

My other worst ticket was pacing an off-duty cop on the outer belt around Indy.  He was from a suburb on the Northeast side, I started following him way out on the west side when I saw him toting his dry cleaning in the back seat.  He made a move through traffic and I lost him, he managed to duck behind me and lit me up (yellow Mini Cooper = not subtle car).  Ended up getting a ticket for 14 over despite the fact that I was following him at closer to 30 over, another deferral later and still no points on the license.

Totally late for work and blasted down a long straight stretch in rural eastern WA.
just before I go to slow down for the corner a state LEO comes around the bend.
I look down and see about 130 on the clock. I still laid hard on the brake muttering
make the beast with two backs, make the beast with two backs make the beast with two backs make the beast with two backs make the beast with two backs under my breath. I see his brake lights come on as I pass around the corner
and pull over. I'm off the bike and just taking my helmet off as he comes flying around the corner and
his eyes go wide as he realizes I'm waiting for him.
He walks up and asks if I'm in a hurry. I said yeah it was just one of those days and I was so
late for work. He said  i was doing 132 when he first saw me but was down to 105 when I went by him.
We shot the breeze for a bit and he wrote me a ticket for 5 over and gave me a website to
go to for the state to fill out a form and the ticket would drop off after a year.
Never had seen a state cop on that road before and never have since.
