i was the passenger, tho. i'm fucking positive that had i been the one driving, instead of the cutie girl, i would have been sent to jail.

first thing cop says to her is, "you know, i can send you to jail for driving that fast, right? is there a particular reason you need to be driving that fast?"

her, "no, not really. just want to get to texas tech soon..."

"ok, well, i'll be back."

oh yeah, the girl didn't have her recent insurance card, either. lol. so that was another $250 fine. total fine came out to $530 and he thanked US for our courtesy. any day, dude. any day.

i got pulled over for doing 83 in a 55, and the cop was nice enough to knock it down to a 79 in a 55. 25+ over the limit is reckless driving, a misdemeanor, and a mandatory court appearance. good thing i didn't get hit with that shit.

Were you in the fast lane?

Fastest I ever go is 75-80 mph, and that's to keep up with traffic in the fast lane (limit is 65 mph).
 
over 100 down here is reckless driving. he didn't charge her with that, though.

hell yea we were in the fast lane. just before we were pulled over, i had said that it didn't even seem we were doing 105 cuz the flow of traffic wasn't hindering our progress.

That's what I'm worried about- getting hit with a speeding ticket when you're going with the flow of traffic which is usually 15 mph over the limit at least.

On my way to one of those CC sales, I got stopped going 60 in a 25. He let me off with no ticket.

I guess I get the bored cops with nothing to do, a few months ago I was pulled over for going 33 in a 25 zone. Didn't get a ticket though.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I go 90 frequently on dead highways. But during daytime, I average about 70-75...but if I see a stretch of open road; well, that's where my RPM needle begins to fly. :)

"Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
"I'm sorry officer, Circuit City is selling dozens of games for $5 each!"
"Well then, godspeed, son. Godspeed."

You joke, but I did tell him that I was going to CC for a sale. He asked if I was seeing how fast I could get her to go (since I drive a 2004 Z4). Then I was like "actually... I'm just trying to get to CC for this sale at 10am" (and it was like 9:53 at the time). Comes back with my license and reg and just told me to slow down around that turn. Maybe he didn't KNOW there was a sale and was indebted to me for telling him?
 
it's amazing what honesty will do. if you give the cop some bullshit off the wall story, he's got more incentive to ticket or lock your ass up.

Yeah, honesty is key with cops. Another time I was at the red light at like 2am. No one anywhere around. I look around and go through it. Suddenly I get the lights in my rearview. "Shit." Anyway, she (yes, I said she and yes, she was hot) walked up and was like "ok, you HAVE to know why I pulled you over." Anyway, it ended up with her saying "just don't do that anymore, or at least be careful of who might be around." to which I replied "I looked around. I didn't see anyone."
