General Forum: Offbeat n Jokes | | Your Experiences about how you handled cops when u got a ticket!! | |
| Some of my friends think that I am fun to drive with.There are some boring gums in my friends group, who doesn't cross the speed limits posted on the side of the road and be cautious of ants on the road while they drive. I would go crazy to drive with them. Thats the last thing I would want to do.

haha @"johnsons"/"balls"/"wutever"...
another tip if you are really speeding n you spotted a cop do not hit the brakes with panic...for a cop it is an acknowledgment from you that you are speeding...instead take your feet off the gas slowly...hittin brakes does nt do you any good if the cop had already clocked your speed...but you could get away sometimes w/o hittin brakes if the cop is just sitting in his car w/o a radar gun ...but once you hit the brakes after you see him, he could get you for your kind acknowledgment...

Another funny incident with traffic cops. I was with my friend who really hates to drive with me in the passenger seat. He thinks that I am a crazy driver he has ever seen. I am giving him a ride to one of the dance clubs and he was in a mood to have few drinks and asked me if I could drive him as he had no choice. All of our other friends live very far from us, and he has to get stuck with my driving.
As we are driving on a freeway, I exceeded the limit over 25 miles and we are traveling towards north. He saw a cop coming from the south and he warned me. I laughed at him and said that he wouldn’t bother to make a turn on that uneven road and on a freeway. As I told him, the cop blinked his head lights once and I noticed from my rear view mirror that the cop is making a U-turn. I got panicked and picked up on more speed and changed the lanes fast and took the exit that I immediately found. It was very dark in the night. I took my chances and got off on the exit and just made a right turn and went to one of the drive way’s I found. I was able to do that as the cop was at a reasonable distance from me.
My friend who was driving with me was almost frozen to death. I have spent there for about 3 min and got onto freeway again. I got away with my ticket with little risk. After we reached our place, my friend promised himself that he would never ask me for a ride again.

ROFL Blues! ...that was hilarious, I mean the narration more than the story....
6-hr flight from Dallas? It takes 5.5 hrs to reach coast to coast in US....hmmmm, unless the aircraft was also pulled over for speeding! :P
good tips @18-wheeler, sucker, on-coming flashers and the vanity plate of course!
What about them those police-radios that some ppl carry?

Too bad I hadnt had any so far! But I am enjoying and learning something from your black-n-white stories!
/statistics prove that women are the reckless drivers..my friends wife rammed into a house "her insurance is around 700/month now/
she must've mistaken it as a drive-thru car-wash or something! 700/mo-she'd rather take a cab! :P

This is another funny incident I encountered with Uncle Sam. I was driving on I-95 and as I approached George Washington Bridge (NY), I thought about the conversation we had at the work place about the bridge and the crazy traffic on the bridge. I had to make it to the class that I was attending at the time in another 30 min and I am in a hurry to get there. As I came closer to the bridge, the lanes are separated to 95-local and express. Without a second thought, I jumped onto the Express Lane.
Moment later, I realized that I was on George Washington Bridge. That was my first time traveling in that direction and I don’t know that 95-express runs over George Washington Bridge and to my fate, the traffic is standing still. I got really pissed off on myself for getting onto the bridge and looked around. I was on the right most lanes and so, I quickly got into driving on the shoulder and took a Z-cut (official lane used by cops) and hopped on I-95 local traffic.
As I was doing that, I noticed a car (which I took for a broken down car) on the other side and felt sorry for the driver for having his car broken down. I moved to the right lane and slowly started to relax and drive. The car which I thought was broken down was a cop car and he was actually in a regular civil car and he came behind me and stopped me. He asked me if I know that I made a big mistake. I have to admit it as I know it was wrong. He said that I got the ticket for making illegal turn on the Z-cut and issued me a fatty penalty. It gave another boosting to my insurance.
So, guyz, never feel sorry for a broken car on the freeway. It could be a cop’s car :-).
