ok so i was driving my L behind this old civic that was doin about 30 in a 40 zone. so i go for the pass. got around him and pulled up to the light. the next thing i see in the rearview was a nice fat good Ol' California Highway Patrol who are some of the most uptight people out there and have nothing else to do except writing tickets to teenagers. o yah he also pulled the window tint trick and got me for that one. suprised he didnt get me for the exaust!! i dont think ive ever been in the presence of such a ******* in my whole life. well im still pretty steamed cause it was only an hour ago so i think ill go punch my wall a few times

I would have taken the window tint ticket and shoved it up his ***. Tinted window violations are fuc$king bullsh*t. Hearing this really pisses me off

 

RIGHT intelligent reply!!
video tape that would ya??????


...............JR

 

So what did he pull you over for? Was it BS?

 

Sorry to hear about your ticket, Jon. It probably won't be your last.

 

Im a little bitter when it comes to tinted window violations sorry. Go ahead and video tape it. Its nothing I havent said before and wont say again. what are the tint laws out there in California?

 

But my wife drove it once to work and she was exiting off of the beltway 8 and didn't realize how fast she was going and D.P.S. got here going like 98 in a 55 she had to take defensive and pay a fine I yet have gotten cought yet (NOCKING ON WOOD) she was so pissed I laughed at her for at least a week!!! But didn't get her for the tint (limo) LOL

 

when I lived there, if it wasn't factory installed it was illegal..I haven't lived there for a few years, so I'm not sure of the current laws....JR

 

eh, like with all tickets its worth a try to go fight it!

as soon as you're done punching your wall (I did the same thing when I got my first and than second ticket) relax a bit, wait till the last day to call to plead not guilty (stretch your time) and go in to talk to the prosecutor. If you were speeding the prosecutor will more than likely drop your tint ticket, or reduce the punishment on both!


driving an ex-cop car, like I do, its the most insulting thing that could happen when you get pulled over (it doesn't apply to any of your L's by the way) but what I'm getting to is that many cops are obsurd at doing their job and they should be demoted because of that, best advice is go fight it after you calm down!

and do your best not to get pulled over again any time soon!


good luck!

Well, sorry to hear about your tickets. As for the tint I guess you should write your rep to work on that one... as for the speeding I have an idea.
If one (read YOU) are not looking around enough to see the cop before he sees you, you are not looking hard enough. I've been to a alot of defensive driving courses when I was young and learned. Cops don't hide, they don't have to. They work on the theory of Darwin. People who are not aware enough to be doing what they are doing will do it right in front of the officer. Therefore if you are looking well enough you will see him before he sees you, if not you'll at least see each other at the same time. My advise would be then...

When passing, don't get tunnel vision-it could be fatal. Look to the next turn, think if I were a cop where would I sit? Next time buy a white L they get less attention (proven by me). Pick on something mor your size... poor civic owners!

Cheers.

The golden rule for getting out of a ticket.........

Pick your nose so that the officer can see you do it. Really dig deep. He has to let you use his pen. It works!

 

Ahhh, that explains Roger's green finger...

 

the thing that really sucks is that the tint that was on there was already there. i bought it like that. and to you svtmoonshine i think it would have been impossible to see this little bugger it was a motorcycle cop and he was tucked in a driveway where its nearly impossible to see him

 

Do NOT punch the wall

I did that one night back in college and then studied all night for a chemistry test with my hand in a bucket of ice, waited approx. 4 days before going to the infirmary(did not want to tell Mom and Dad my stupidity), x-rays revealed what I already knew(BROKEN bones(x2), Orthopedic had to rebreak one of the bones(OUCH, hurt much, much worse than the first break) and my hand is still crooked. Suck the ticket up and **** and moan, but please do not punch any real walls.

I used to punch the panelling in the garage in high school and then the concrete walls of college come along and I did not know any better at the time apparently!!:o Again, walk away, do not hit the wall!!

 

yah i wasnt really gonna punch the wall is was just a figure of speech to express my emotions of how frustrated i am
