I'm sure that we've all been pulled over before, I know I have. Does anyone have any funny stories to go along with their battle with their lead foot?


When I was 17 I was on my way to school. I was stoped at a light and saw my buddy go through the intersection, so I thought I would catch up with him when the light turned. When the light turned I sped off in my monte carlo, I was doing 75 in a 55. The road I was on is straight for about 2 1/2 miles and then has a gentle curve to it. At the curve there just happened to be a cop sitting just out of sight when you entered the curve. I was doing 75 and immediately hit the brakes and got down to 55. I was hoping the cop wouldnt pull me over cuz I slowed down so quickly, but sure enough he pulled me over. While I was sitting on the side of the road waiting for the officer to finish writing the ticket I saw many of my friends drive by honking their horns. Then in my mirror I saw a very familar car coming along. Who was it, you might ask? It was my mom. Needless to say when I got home from school my dad was already home with a speech prepared. The bright side was I never had to actually tell them I got a ticket.

Ouch it sucks to get caught by the mom. My mom saw me get pulled over before. (for a cell phone) She walked up to the car and told the cop that I was her son and the cop handed me back my lience and said "here good luck"

Heres a good one.

Since I live in the city, there are alot of lights. So one night comming home from my G/F house, it was like 4:30am and I was sitting at a light waiting for it to turn green when a Honda civic pulled up next to me and strated revin its engine. So I started laughin think yes lets smoke'em. All this time I was looking a the drive and he looked about 16ys old and the passenger I couldnt see becasue of the tintied windows. so the light turns green and there I go flying past this guy I hit About 70 between two city block and out the corner of my eye what do I see, but the Honda Civic I was racing puts lights on, it was a undercover cop looking for street racers. As I was gettin my shit ready to give to them, Licence, Registration and my PBA cards b/c my uncle is a Srgt, I hear laughin comeing from outside my window as the tow cops were walkin up to my car. I look out the window and it is my uncle laughin his ass off. I stuck my head out the window looked at my uncle and is partner and said wow they give bandges too 10yr olds, they must be those plastic ones. "Jr. Cop" thumbsup

I rode motorcycles in my younger years. I never had a problem with a lead foot. My problem was that I had a twitch in my right wrist.

It's a bit difficult for me to pick just one, but I guees the one that comes to mind is the one where I had my first run in with a pair of motorcycle cops.
I was headed out to a local city park that everyone flocke to on the weekends. The road into the park was a very twisty road with one long straight portion. Speed limit is 30 MPH. Needless to say, when ever we'd get caught behind a car the long straight portion was a favorite passing spot. The long portion was wooded on both sides and as I began to pass the car I was stuck behind, I pulled into the opposing lane and twisted my wrist to fly passed the car. Just as I got to the cars front fender I hear "WHOLY..."
I looked in my mirrors and I see them jumping on their bikes. I cleared the car and pulled over to the right to wait for the two officers. The first one (the one who always wrote me the tickets) always seemed to have a bit of an attitude with me and the other officer always seemed to be a bit on the comedic side. The second officer walks up to me with a smile on his face calling "Damn Kenny Roberts", and that's how he would always address me. The first one walks up to me with an attitude like no other. They asked me how fast I was going and I told them I didn't know because I was watching the road. They wrote me up for doing 55 in a 35. They came to the speed of 55 because that's how fast the car was going that I was passing.
It was my first of many run ins with these two officers. The second officer, that always called me Kenny Roberts never wrote me a ticket, it was always his partner, the one with the attitude.

I've never gotten nailed for speeding. laugh I should have.

I must get lucky and get noticed by the lazy cops. I've had lights flashed at me about a dozen times from where they're sitting, but they never move. I've already had one do it to the GTP.

The one time I thought I had been busted, was at night on a three lane part of I-35. I didn't know the headlights behind me was a state trooper .. Now, there weren't any cars remotely close to use, and the red and blue came on so I started pulling over since I was in the fast lane ..

And he kept going past me before shutting off his lights and returning to a cruise speed.

.... What? He had two lanes to use to get around me if he needed to, and even then it appears he didn't need to. I had a friend with me at the time who had a hard time figuring it out too.

I think he let me off the hook without wasting alot of time. lol

right after i blew the engine in my prix, we had this thing at my scholl called "night on the field" which is a thing they do before homecoming where u watch a movie on teh football field and hang with your friends...well anyway i was driving the familys 2004 fullsize chevy express starcraft conversion van.

well anyway when we ( me and 2 of my friends) were leaving...i say a big open spot in teh parking lot DONUT TIME!!! well after about 6 or 7 donuts and a big cloud of smoke i decide its time to leave, so i start to leave and teh interor of the van turns blue eek well teh officer pulls up adn gives me a speech adn takes my DL, during this time teh scholl cop pulls up and tells me he wants to see me the next day in school ( in scared to death, im think suspension) well anyway the cop that pulled me over gives me a warning adn i leave.
so the next day i find teh school cop adn he says he just wanted me to be worried and to drive safe so i said..well i dident knwo what to say...i said thanked you shook his hand and left....havnet done donuts since.

Never had a ticket, never had a warning, never been stopped by a officer at all. Not that I don't speed, I'm just cautious and try to stick around 10mph over or less... I've been radared at those speeds and haven't blinked. Leave faster speeds to those who want caught.

You're just not having fun on the road if you've never gotten a ticket. Sure speeding isnt safe and all that jazz, but everyone (especially when they were young) drove with some spirit and threw caution to the wind.

some time ago I was on a highway speeding around 110 mph, then in front of me a Grand Marquis going slower, then i started to use my high lights, you know trying to make this guy to wake up, i was real close to his butt, i could have pass him by the right, there was a dark night on a lonely track of the highway, but no, i was really mad cause the guy was clearly playing with me and my hurry!!

S..t the car suddenly light up his crest, it was a highway patrol...i was so focused on the car that i never realize what it was...

Well, after a short talk i gave him just 100 pesos, around 10 dollars.

I hate you geoff. no points and been pulled over 40 times?! You sound like my friend that constantly speeds in his Mach 1. He's been pulled over a dozen or so times and never gotten a ticket. I've been pulled over 2 times, always got a ticket and got 2 points each time.

ahh the two times ive been pulled over were the heap aka truck and well itwas a pos. lol I was chasing my bro home at 2 am in the ghetto. He got through the light and I didnt. It was red for about 2 seconds and I just went through anyway the hell with it I said im gonna catch him. To my surprize the one car around the corner and I mean only car is a cop. What a joke 3 points. lol the other time even more ridiculous. I turned onto the road by my house aand I sweaked the tires just a bit and they were bald and they did this because of this. I am right out side my damn house for gods sakes. THe guy comes up licence please. I was like sir those documents just came in the mail today and they are in the house which im right outside of right now. SO hes giving me this big story of this and that, not giving him an attitude>. IM like dude its right there in the fricken house. He was like I should bust you right now, for wreckless driving buddy, your going way too fast for the road conditions ahhaha. Oh wow wet roads in december scary. this guy was a big faggot I tell you what lol. ahhah yeah he let me off after his 20 minute talk. I may have only 3 points, and been ;pulled over twice but I tel lyou what I realy hate cops. THey are thick headed, pigs, who think they are the masters of the road. They aint nobody they got 2 year degrees, get crap for pay, and a lousy life. Thats why im gettin a pig detector soon.
THE END.
