No ticket though, and the officer was nice about it. Does Oppo have any good speeding ticket stories? This morning reminded me of the time my friend got an expensive one for speeding down a similar side street:
This was back in college, during the summer, well past midnight. We weren’t even driving a fast car - this was in his parents’ ancient V6 Ford explorer. The thing made such an awful noise when you floored it that the cop heard it wail “a 1/4 mile off” as he put it. We were almost home when we arrived at the intersection he was camping, and I pointed out the cruiser.
My friend replied “nah man, that’s not a cop...” and proceeded to floor it out of the intersection, ripping past the astonished police officer. The lights went on immediately and we were pulled over DIRECTLY in front of his parents’ house. The blues and twos were close enough to light up their bedroom while they were sleeping. Fortunately, neither the lights/siren nor the officer’s shouting (about “local idiots driving like maniacs”) woke them up.

Pulled a 0-60 in the Willys from a light in a 50mph area, with a cop two lanes over. A bright yellow CJ3A with essentially open headers is not subtle. He pulled me over and I couldn’t find my registration for like 5 minutes. I amazingly ended up with a warning.

I was pulled over for going a very, very bad speed on a highway with a 65 MPH limit. I pleaded down to 89, but still ended up with $600 or so dollars in tickets, a three week suspension, and a $700 bill from my lawyer.
Still, it was almost worth it the judge read out my charges and said “you’re accused of driving 89 MPH in an area with a posted limit of 65 MPH and you did so in a Jaguar registered in New Jersey.”
All I could think of was Clarkson going “In my Jaaaaag. ”
And I had to use every bit of restraint in my power to avoid making this face:

I’ve never gotten a ticket or even a written warning, but I HAVE been pulled over 7 times in four different cars. Weirdly, of the five cars I have driven regularly, the Mustang was the only one that never got stopped. The others are my Soul, my Escort, my dad’s Spectra, and his now-gone Focus. All for stupid reasons, too; there was only one instance where I actually broke the law, and that was due to a tree blocking the “no left turn” sign, which is why I only got a verbal warning instead of a ticket.

I have to be one of a few that’s been pulled over on the 12.5 hp Honda Grom. I was behind a Wrangler on a sunny day, the driver was swerving all over obviously on his/her phone. So I decided to make an illegal pass. 40-60 mph does not happen quickly on the Grom and during my ten second pass, I passed a cop who was sitting on the left side of the road...
He pulled me over and gave me a ticket for 55-35 and an unsafe pass. He didn’t show for court and when I explained the situation to the officer who did show, he let me slide! I even got the money back!

I got one when I was 18 at USF (University of South Florida). Campus cops are the worst. I was driving down a weird access road to a parking lot. The road had (as did the rest of campus) massive speed bumps. For reference, one of these speed bump actually broke the shock mount on my car. This particular little road was narrow, curvy, and also full of pot holes. The speed limit was 15. I was going 15. It’s nearly impossible to go much faster on this road.
When I pulled in to a parking space and got out for class, a campus cop pulled up behind me to give me a ticket. He said I was going 35. Nope. If I was in the wrong and speeding, I’d happily pay the fine and be done with it. I was going 15, and only for the brief seconds between speed bumps while avoiding giant holes in the road.
So, after I start researching to fight the ticket, I discovered several things. The USF Police cars had radar guns mounted in a fixed position on the car. I saw the cop who pulled me over as I was driving down the road (why would I even speed if I can see the cop?!), so I knew where the gun was pointed. I looked up all sorts of info on how the radar guns worked (thank you access to a massive university library!), and with the help of a math-wiz friend, determined that he was clocking cars on a larger, four lane road who’s speed limit is 25. There was absolutely no way he was clocking my car.
Now, let me back up to when I got the ticket, because it’s where the fun part starts. When he was writing up the ticket, he said (and I’ll never forget these exact words) “Here at USF we don’t make exceptions for speeders, but in your case, I will”. He issued a ticket for “Violation Of A Safety Control Device” and wrote “Speed Limit Sign” and “35mph” on the ticket. In Florida, a safety control devices is not a speed limit sign, but a speed bump or other thing that is part of the road.
So, I march my happy ass down to traffic court. When it’s my turn to speak and question the cop, shit gets real. I ask him about the radar gun and clocking me. He gives all the standard answers. I pull out a poster board with a map of the area drawn on it, the location of his car, and a big triangle area showing where the radar would have been able to get readings from. The cop is flustered and the judge is impressed, but I’m not done.
I ask him about what he said to me about exceptions, and not giving me a speed violation ticket, quoting him. I ask if he said that. He says “No”. I then ask, very confidently “Yes or no, is it easy for you to lie with a straight face?”
The cop stutters but can’t say a word. The judge pounds his gavel and dismisses the ticket. I say thank you to the judge and strolled out of that courtroom like a fucking 18 year old badass.

One ticket, no good story. Standard practice in Ontario is 20 over is safe in most areas with limits of 60 and up. This was a 60 zone. Cop must have been desperate that day and nailed me at 80 on the nose. As per normal in Ontario he dropped it to 15 over so they got money and I didn’t get points.
What’s weird is for once I wasn’t actually trying to go fast. I just got off the highway, crossed the bridge and hit 80 inadvertently (and I mean that, speedo showed me safely below 80 just before the crest and the tires were a bit small--and I was in “fogey chauffeur” mode as I had several older relatives on board) coming down over the crest.

In New Jersey, fines are doubled in 65 MPH zones. Plus, the cop who pulled me over was a gigantic asshole. He threw on improper passing, failure to signal when changing lanes, and reckless driving. The last one is subjective, but I never changed lanes, so the first two were both complete BS. I wouldn’t even have considered going to court over the speeding ticket, because I’ve never deserved a ticket more in my life, but those extra ones that were tacked on took my otherwise clear license up to 13 points, which was just enough to trigger an automatic suspension. Plus, I really did not want a reckless driving charge on my record.

I can’t remember what I did to end up in traffic school, but the first exercise was to tell our story. I can’t remember mine because of the kid at the end of the table. I say kid because he must have been about 12 years old.
His story started with, “I borrowed my brother’s Cadillac to go to the store.” Somewhere along the way, an officer spotted him and flipped on the red and blues. The kid thought the best course of action was to run. I’m not sure where he lived, but he said they chased him all over town. The chase ended in parents’ front yard, complete with every cop in the county, all the neighbors, and his mom running out, yelling, “my baby, my baby!”
Yeah, he was arrested. He was lucky that they didn’t find any drugs or alcohol in the car.
He received tickets for driving without a license, evading the police, reckless driving, speeding (75 in a 25), and failure to stop. He received a duplicate of the last two for every block and every stop sign he ran in his neighborhood.
He said as soon as he is old enough to get a job, he was going to have to pay all of the fines. Part of his punishment was to take defensive driving. Even so, he said there was a silver lining. Since he didn’t have a license, none of it would go on his driving record.

Not engine noise, but a friend of mine got nailed because he heard tires squealing through a corner. Cop had no other evidence but reasoned that “I could hear your tires so you must have been going way too fast”.
To be fair to the cop, knowing this dude he probably WAS flying... but in fairness to everyone else on the road, I really hope the charge didn’t stick. I never actually asked how it ended. All I know is before I ditched my stock tires you could hear my tires squealing at every corner. So if I could get nailed with reckless driving and have the charge stick over the fact that my tires were shit...

Can’t do that in the court in my town. The town justice doesn’t seem to be familiar with the constitution and if you attempt to plead not guilty or argue your case, you had better have a lawyer. He will not let you represent yourself. My wife had gotten a cell phone ticket (note: she was not on her phone, but leaning against the window with her hand holding her head as she, bored, idled through rush hour traffic.) We downloaded phone records showing no calls, texts or data use at the time. Judge wouldn’t hear it and refused to even look at the documents. When my wife went to speak, he asked “Are you a lawyer?” When she said no, he said, “then why am I listening to you?” He issued a fine and moved on. Pretty sure none of that was legal.

Yeah, it’s funny but I ain’t complaining. The cops love to pull that trick, too, because in the long run they get more cash out of it.
Points start at 16km/h over.
The courts are packed because the limits are retarded. So, a large chunk of those that go get bargained down, and if they make it into court the ones that are ~20% (depending on how much of a dick you were driving like) over the limit commonly get tossed to make way for more serious stuff.
The cops have the final call on what to charge you for. They don’t officially give warnings (afaik) they just let you go or knock it down to a lower speed.
All this combined means the cops can drop anything to 15+ and pick up $55, and they know you’re a lot less likely to take it to court when you’ve already been given a break, which in turn means they’re more likely to SEE that $55. If they hold you to the 20+ in a 100 zone, they’re likely to lose that money in court.

Okay, here’s one. North on I69 one night, got pulled over by a trooper. Ihad a bandage on my right foot from a burn. When the trooper came up to the window, I thought fast and blurted out that my leg had had a spasm and mashed my foot into the pedal (I am paralyzed; so, leg spasms like this are reasonable). I asked if I could borrow his flashlight to look at it, and basically took it from his hand while saying “thanks” and proceeded to examine my foot. He stood by bewildered. When I handed it back to him, I said it was, thankfully, okay. He said, “um...yeah, well, drive safe” and left me alone.

When Dr. Mrs. Hatrack was pregnant she had a 40 minute commute on I-75 to and from work. One day the morning sickness got to be too much so she made a quick cut across from the right lane to the left shoulder so she could puke without sticking her head into traffic. After the first hurl she was sitting there with her door open trying to catch her breath, oblivious to the world. When the second round came up she leaned out the door and let loose on top of a pair of shiny black shoes that hadn’t been there a minute before.
Trooper Andy had seen her crazy lane change and come up to see what this lunatic was doing. When he realized she was pregnant he let her go with a verbal warning to be more careful when pulling over.
Fast forward two months, she’s driving home in the afternoon and runs into some mechanical problems and pulls over on the right hand shoulder to wait for a tow truck. A little bit later she hears a voice from the back end of the car asking if everything is okay. There’s Trooper Andy, not wanting to get anywhere near her door after he recognized who it was sitting there.

It’s true. One of my proudest moments. I fought another ticket (not for speeding) several years later with equally hilarious results. I’ll write it up later to share.
I’ve gotten one very deserved speeding ticket that I happily paid.
But then there was that time in Georgia where they literally marched me a gun point to an ATM to pay the ticket on the spot. There was no fighting that. I wasn’t speeding, but it was pay or sit in jail until you paid. They had about 20 other people they pulled over that they were extorting lined up at the jail to wait their turn to be marched to the ATM. That’s a fun story, too.

So many. My first speeding ticket was when I was 17. It was for 92Mph in a 45mph the cop thought I was trying to run and called in backup. I pull up to a stop sign and the end of the road with no idea there was a cop anywhere around. When it was my turn to go I was surrounded by 6 squad cars. Of course, I that top down in and was blasting Black Sabith.
Frist cop to walk up to my car said, “Put your Keys on the dash and keep your hands on the wheel”.....Do you know how fucking fast you were going?” I replied no I was paying attention to the road. He then informed me he clocked me at 92mph and the look of relief on my face seemed to piss him off more.
Eventually, they realized I was 17 and an idiot. I could hear a few of the other officers talking down the officer who clocked me and got to me first he was fairly intent on arresting me. This is also when I heard them discussing whether I was trying to run or not. But they convinced him that there may be a better way to teach me a lesson and then they called my mom to come pick me up. The speeding ticket wasn’t so bad.
All of this happened right in front of a large housing community entrance which happened to be where most about 40% of my Highschool lived and most of them recognized me and my car. When I showed up to school the next day I had to explain it all.
This is my first ticket not my last but it’s also the highest speed I’ve been clocked at and ticketed at. Some of my better stories are when I didn’t get the ticket.

I’ve been pretty lucky with cops being lenient on me. I don’t speed as excessively these days since I want my insurance to go down. The first time I got pulled over I was doing 62 in a 30, which was really dumb. The cop told me he could take me to jail and impound my car and then gave me 5mph. Then I got pulled over by a state trooper for doing 85 in a 70, she gave me a ticket for 5 over, that one wasn’t even my car. Then there was another 85 in a 70, but I was let go. And then I got pulled over for doing 82 in a 55. Which is total bullshit because no one does 55 through Detroit. I was doing 10mph more than traffic. Now I just do 77 and they don’t mind.

I got two in a week. ‘97 Saturn SC2, 42 in a 40. Rather upset cop, obviously, also wanted to write me a ticket as I was reading in my car while he was running the plates. This is on a Monday, and that is important.
Next day, the Saturn died. Worked on it with a buddy of mine through Wednesday, it was just dead. 160k and it had had enough. Donated it, got it out of the driveway, and bought my currently DD, ‘02 Civic Si. Had it ripping in 5th gear blasting down I10, went by 2 cops in the HOV lane and was caught dead to rights. I think the only thing that saved me was that when they lit me up, I put my hand out the sunroof and motioned right or left, then followed their instructions. It was sorta comical:
cop: Know why i pulled you over?
me: yup.
cop: How long you owned this car (on seeing the temp tags)
me: (checks watch) about 20 minutes.
cop: shaking it down?
me: Yessir. All done too.
cop: glad to hear that. get going and idiot no more.
so doing waaaaay over amounted to no ticket, and 2 over amounted to a ticket. Granted, it was tossed, but still.

Well this brought back an interesting memory. I once crashed a car with similar hand controls installed.
It was back when I was working at a dealership quick lube. I was asked to back the car out once we had finished. Everything was going fine until I stepped on the brake and for whatever reason it also moved the gas pedal and accelerated hard in reverse. I had a minor panic attack kept stomping on the brake pedal and it just kept accelerating in reverse towards a row of brand new cars (Mustangs I think). Then at the last second I cranked the wheel hard and instead did a reverse U-turn and proceeded to plow into the side of an employees car which was parked on the side of the quick lube. It completely totaled the first car and pushed it into the one parked next to it doing minor damage and surprisingly the customer’s car was not that badly damaged. Honestly I’m still not sure how I didn’t get fired on the spot for that. I think they realized I was just a dumb panicked kid and it was a genuine accident. Granted I did eventually get let go just a few months later. I was told it was because work was slow and they just didn’t need me but I’m sure the wreck probably factored into the decision of who to let go.

That’s a heck of a story. Hope I didn’t trigger PTSD or anything.

Trust me it was long enough ago that even I look back at that incident and call myself a dumbass... Like “hey dumbass all you had to do was switch off the ignition and step on the brake.” Lol, Like I said I was just a panicked kid, I probably was like 18 or 19 when this happened.
Besides, since then I’ve joined the military, deployed to the middle east several times, got out of the military, started a family, and now I have three kids... And if anything is going to give me PTSD it’s my youngest daughter. Lol
