I was too cocky last night.

It's the first snow of the month, I got my super Nokian Hakkappellitasasdxaswscfwc on and I was driving 70 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. No big deal since it's not a lot of snow at all. I see this cop driving 60. I'm like....I ain't staying behind him. I pass him and I go back to my normal 70 cruise speed. He follows me for kilometers. Right when I was about to go to the tunnel that transforms itself into a highway he pulls me over I'm like ok...let's see what he has to say. Says that I was driving too fast for the conditions and that I was doing over 80. I'm like no way I did over 80, I was under 70. He says "AH HA it's still over 60! Are you late somewhere?" ME: Kinda... HIM: Ok well you gotta slow down with the conditions we have...we have a bunch of accidents going on. There was a car in front of you that got into the right lane because you we're driving too fast from what it seems ME: I understand that, but I got the most epic tires man! They're the best! and I was under 70 and I never lost control or anything right? You were behind me didn't you see? (big mistake right there) HIM: I see that, we used to have all season tires before there was a law about winter tires and it helped but there's still accidents. ME: Ok...well I bought the best I got it under control. HIM: Can I have the license, insurance proof and the car's papers? ME: Sure.

He came back shortly and gave me a ticket for not slowing down in bad conditions but with no speed indicated on it. Told me that if I didn't act like I was confident, that I said that I was late or had to go to the hospital he would not had given the ticket, but following the convo, he had to do it and hoped it made some change in my life before I get to an accident. So there you go...my cocky self made me have a ticket....sigh.

They can ticket you for doubting your driving skill?

lol, definitely from what it seems. But what sucks is that there was a bunch of other drivers that didn't use their turn signals on the way and they did nothing to them...I used them.

So, let me get this straight. You PASSED a police officer who was driving the limit. Then, you talked your way INTO a ticket. I'm not sure I have much to say after that. I think you got what was coming to you.

I know. I hope you take something away from this. "There are old fighter pilots, and there are bold fighter pilots. There are no old, bold fighter pilots."

I have only had a few experiences with cops, and they were all terrible. I never got a ticket, and I wasn't doing anything wrong, yet they still acted not so nicely to me. Probably because I was 17/18 at the times.

no, he clearly admitted to the police officer that he was speeding, as if driving safely over the speed limit invalidates the fact that it's a law to go the speed limit.

Yeah, when you're a teenager it's worst especially with a fancy car. Depending on the cops too, younger jacked up cops on steroids acted like dicks. Older cops or slim young ones were great. Women cops...they never gave me tickets but they act like jacked up cops on steroids to prove themselves, which is completely unnecessary.

I had no such fancy car, nor was I acting stupid. I was taking a walk in broad daylight once when a cop started talking to me. The other time I was rear ended, and I got shit for that. Then another time, I was asked if I was on drugs or not. Not in the nicest way either.

The cops on campus are actually pretty cool, I guess they understand that college students are pretty stupid.
