Im only 19 and i was adding up what ive spent on tickets since i started driving... im already over 1000 dollars in fines... My first speeding ticket 96 in a 55. Then four days later i get a 76 in a 65 and no front tag ticket and the VERY NEXT day. The same asshole that pulled me over gets me AGAIN for no front tag. What the hell? Im so poor now. Anyone else seem to have any trouble with the State Troopers like i do?

Here's a tip: don't drive like an ass, and the cops will be more likely to let you go.
In parkour, no one is afraid. One is just...apprehensive.

well the first one was my fault i had my exhaust put on and when i did they put the cat back in my car. I was just running it to see what the cat did to my car. In larger motors it hurts HP. So hands down my fault ... the other one was sort of bad timing i had passed someone on the highway ... and when i came up beside them they laid into it and i had to speed up a bit more to get around... i was just slowing back down... normally its a 70 but at night its 65.. but the Tag thing i showed him my front tag. i had it in the front seat ... i didnt have a braket to mount it is what i told him... even though i did at one time ... front plates look tacky. But even though he got me the first time for it there was NO need in getting me the very next day for it again. I carried it to court and they dropped the second one.. but still Talk about a BAD Week. Ive been pulled over numerous times, i just try and stay polite and usually i get off with a warning or just a flash of their lights... but man not that week.

I've never, EVER gotten a warning, it sucks ass. Been pulled over for speeding 3 times,gotten 3 tickets. One for 14 over, one for 13 over, 1 for 10 over. Damn suburban cops having nothing better to do. Oh, and sorry if I ragged on you man, I reread my last post, was a bit rash, so I apologize

lol, you gotta watch Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
two guys basically get a ticket for jaywalking and they tell the cop that he was just a dick who used to pick on everyone at high school and when the graduation day came, most of the kids went to college and a future cop went nowhere so he decided to become a cop to give shyt to other people, more successful in life =))

I got a ticket for 28 over then the next week a UHP trooper pulled me over for "running" a stop sign. He must have been smoking crack. Because I stopped, I knew the people that were behind me at the stop sign and they saw me stop too so I got it dropped. Cops suck

i accidently raced a cop! coming off an onramp, a UC was in the far left lane, and wouldn't let me get over without slaming on the brakes, so what do i do... like a dumbass, i tear ass past him, then slow to speed limit. he pulled up beside me, flashed the lights i never saw, and pointed at me with a "fuck you" look on his face. i stick to speed limits since then, i've got 3 speeding tickets on me already.

Let me get this straight - (1) you are a teenager; (2) you drive like a complete dangerous idiot; (3) you continue to drive with a problem after getting a ticket for it - front plate - and now you complain???? ROFLMAO. You got exactly what you deserved. If they kept twerps like you off the road, it would be a safer place.

continue to drive after being warned ... if you dont have brakets to mount it how in the world do you expect to stick it on ...? duct tape? I would understand getting it a week later or something but not the next day. Oh and an FYI I got pulled over at 11:23 on one night and 8:45 the next morning. He didnt even give me a chance to go to walmart and get a plate braket. BUT i aint worried about it. I got my ride back today with the body kit on it and NO FRONT TAG. Im in such a good mood right now.

Well, 96 in 55...that's no mistake. Either way, what are you paying in insurance???? I'll bet it's a monster.

If your gonna drive fast, get used to the idea of getting a ticket. I get them all the time, I just see them as a toll fee for getting to drive faster than everyone else on the road. Over the years I have paid thousands in fines. I don't care.

Gotta pay to play. Get yourself a good radar detector. I often hit 200kmh on the highway and cruise at 140 - 150kmh (speed limit is 110kmh) The radar always alerts me to cops up ahead. Haven't had a ticket in YEARS. (knock on wood)
