When's the last time you got pulled over by a cop and what was it for?

I was pulled over for failing to stop at a stop sign, but when he gave me the ticket he said, you stopped but you didn't stop long enough. I mean, WTF? $85 later, I'm still pissed.

The question is, will you go into the HOV lane again?
Bottom line, while expensive, you broke the law, got caught and paid the price. Judging by the way people drive lately, I think more people need to be issued tickets. People seem to think that because they are in a "hurry" that gives them the right to do whatever it is they want.
I notice more and more lately people following the "To Hell with everybody" rule, which states you can do whatever you need to do while driving, irregardless of the law or other people, just so long as you get where you need to go.
While it may have been your first time getting pulled over, a highly doubt it was the first time you broke the maw and was probably not the first time you where in the HOV lane illegally.
When someone gets a ticket, they have usually done the offense many,many times before. It was just your first time getting caught!

Oh and I have been driving for twenty years and have never had a ticket or accident. Why? Because I obey the speed limit, signal, stay off the phone and keep my car in good repair. I drive with respect and realize I am not the only person on the road. If I miss an exit, I don't back up on the expressway. I go around. My fault, not everyone elses.

I received a speeding ticket in July. I used one of the ticket lawyers that are all over Florida. I got away with just court costs, no fine or points.

6 years ago, in a unmarked school zone....I was pulled over for going over 25 while there were children walking out from a liquor store in the middle of a block, because next to it was a gas station...mind you this was a rural area. And the cop on his motorcycle said hey pull over so I pulled over and he wrote me up for speeding in a school zone...And I said what school zone, and he said did you see kids walking I said they came out of the liquor store, so yes, he said and they were walking to school...I took pictures and everything when I went back to the scene and took it to court...and it was such an iffy ticket it could have gone both ways, because they did walk out of the store...and it is a dirt road and is unmarked school zone...that they made me pay for the ticket and traffic school, so it would not be on my records of course 425.00 ouch. I never drove that way again to say the least!! It is still a trap and not one thing has changed...

speed trap, 75 in 55, ticketed for 60 in a 55, paid 60 bucks for traffic court, no points. what worked was being very cooperative and apologetic (friend of mine got busted in same trap and got ticketed for 72 in a 55 and a broken taillight, he was being mouthy. he paid way more than me)

Going 3 miles over the speed limit.... seriously

I was like, "Are you serious," and the cop said, "you are supposed to stay ON THE SPEED LIMIT." I was fined 150 dollars but didnt' have to pay, thanks to a judge.

June of 2001, I was one of 4 passengers, and the cop pulled the driver over for bad brake-lights, running a stop-sign, and potential DUI.

She actually talked her way out of arrest AND a ticket!! She promised not to drive any more that night... I took a cab home, and she drove away 30 minutes later. She was stopped AGAIN by a female officer and did 180 days for her 2nd DUI.

Now I ONLY take a cab on pub nights !!

I got stopped for going through a red light, according to the cop, but it was yellow, and I told the cop that. He let me go, but with these words of wisdom: "Remember, yellow means STOP." I told my brother-in-law what he said, and his reply to that was "no, yellow means go - - FASTER". Couldn't disagree with that logic!

It's been a long time... I don't even remember, probably a warning for speeding

I got pulled over for "running a red light" turning right.
All of the red lights in my town have yield signs when turning right, so how i was pulled over for running a red light is a mystery to me. My ticket is $166 and hopefully will be thrown out when i go to court!!

Gone

Speeding.

They caught me doing 71 in a 55 zone but they only caught me doing 71, just before they caught me I was on the CB and no one would come back to me so I thought it best to slow down. My speedometor only went to 80 but I was increasing speed just before I was caught. Lucky me, my fine was $105.

speeding, over a year ago
i went to court over the ticket b/c there was construction occuring near the road i was driving on and the speed limit sign had been removed...

anyway, they gave me a 2nd chance, i didn't have to pay the ticket.... :)

devilishu

i got pulled over because of the blunt i was smokin, the open container on my lap, and the 50 kilos of cocaine my 2 year old was enjoying.... No ticket but a hell of a party!!!!
