Had this list in my drafts and would update it everytime I was pulled over because it was so frequent. That mini being bright red was a cop magnet, along with me being irresponsible. Not to worry though, my insurance now cost almost as much as my car payments.

1979 4x4 Scottsdale, 3am headlight out, warning

1996 Honda Civic, 3am No plate but w/temp tag

1996 Honda Civic, No plate but w/temp tag

2009 Mini Clubman JCW, Speeding ticket 51mph

2009 Mini Clubman JCW, Speeding ticket 79mph

2009 Mini Clubman JCW, speeding ticket 75mph, actual speed recorded 94mph. Entering highway 4th-5th pull then slowed as got onto the lane.

1988 Honda Civic 2am no plate light

1988 Honda Civic 2am on way to work drunk check, and no plate light

Speeding in the 83 300sd, no insurance, wrong year tag(DMV fuckery). Thought the car tailing me at dusk wasnt a cop, luckily the mercedes was so slow they were more intrigued then angry. One fix it citation for a tag.

Pulled over for loud exhaust and no front plate in the lexus, it had open headers, no ticket.

Pulled over for no front plate in the Lexus, no ticket.

Loud exhaust driving the two sc’s home late in Napa county near Calistoga, no insurance, no ticket.

Pulled over for 76 in 55, sc400 with red trailer rims on the rear.

Suspicious activity, no badges in the lexus, no ticket.

Fortunately, police officers in Canada (CN Police and VPD excluded) typically are not too focused on auto infractions.

My only run-in with the law outside of an accident has been a DUI checkpoint.

The boys in blue seem to ignore me.

I understand speeding infractions but 6 out of 17 here are cops seeing if my car is stolen or drunk checking me because the time of day, chp is particularly thirsty for this sort of thing.

Once had a cop pull me over, then cut across the highway halfway though writing my ticket to write som eone else up for pulling a U turn (which that officer had to do 3 times in the past 10 minutes, once to catch me, then twice to get them and come back to finish my ticket)

Long digression but I've got so many words for chp

I have been pulled over eight times in the 23 years I’ve been driving. Two speeding tickets, but no points. Six warnings.

Three of those warnings were in a four week stretch, when I was delivering for Jimmy John’s in college. The first and third of those were from the same cop. All took place around the same group of dorms.

Recognizing the same cop has happened a few times, its almost funny if it weren't for how serious it usually is

Wow.... I only got pulled over once... for robbing a Subway :P

Suspects got away in a grey pickup, so the local PD pulled everyone over that had a grey truck.

I was about to say go big or go home.

This sounds like a heist of the world’s lowest tie r roast beef and swiss, subway wrappers trailing a beat s10 somewhere in Nevada

After getting a nice car in a boring color cops don't look twice, beaters and loud things draw their attention

I actually didn’t recognize him (I’m terrible at recognizing faces), but he asked me the second time if I had any incidents with the police recently . I was honest and told him I had been given a couple of verbal warnings in the last month. He said, “That’s right, I gave you one of those, didn’t I.”

I’m sure if I had lied, he would have given me a ticket. Since I was honest, he ran my plate to make sure I was clean, and gave me a written warning.

My car is a beater and it was rather loud. The cops ignored me.

I guess rusty Subarus with leaky exhausts are common enough to not warrant further investigation.

I’m not even CARB legal by any respects. My entire exhaust is a CARB violation.

They’d have the force on me as soon as I crossed state lines to take it away.

I've been pulled over at least 7 or 8 times in the last 25+ years, 2 tickets out of that. The annoying thing is the two tickets were within a couple of weeks of each other so the ole insurance rate went up for a few years. I think that total includes the time I accidentally drove through a police road block (I was young and they had one cruiser half-heartedly blocking 3 lanes of traffic or something..).

Been driving for 17 years, been pulled over thrice, ticketed twice. All three incidents for speeding:

1st) Probably doing 80 in a 60 zone. I felt that I was matching the speed of traffic, officer hidden behind a sign tagged me with her radar gun. She said there’s kids around here; there were zero kids around. I took responsibility - I was speeding after all, and I got bit.

2) 130km/h on the highway with 100km/h limits , what can I say. It was shortly after I got my car and went from my 110hp Accent to my 200hp Forte; I kept joking to my friends that a speeding ticket was inevitable. Lo and behold, less than 3 months after I got my car, I got a ticket on the way to my friend’s cottage.

3) Got caught at place where it drops from 60km/h to 30km/h, didn’t brake and just lifted off throttle instead. Officer said I was doing 50km/h in the 30km/h zone, but as he was asking for my license/registration, cyclist was going by and another car attempted to pass us by (since we were pulled over) and had a very close call with the cyclist. The car and cyclist stopped, words were exchanged; the officer looked at me and said, “Drive more carefully, I have to go deal with this, it’s more important,” and let me go.

So, speeding is my problem, and honestly I probably still speed often. I usually just follow speed of traffic but if I have an empty stretch of road in front of me, my foot usually becomes quite heavy. T he only ticket I’m sour about is the highway ticket - I think 100km/h is waaaaaay too low on a dry, sunny, empty highway.

I agree, 2 of my tickets are on the same 50 mile stretch of highway that I’ve put over 20,000 miles on. 65 feels like standing still whereas 80 feels like progress.

That must have been terrifying after you realized what was going on with the roadblock

SiennaMan > sony1492

Back then I was kind of terrified with any police encounter, which I think is part of why I got warnings as a teen..

I found out later there'd been a fatal crash about a half mile up the road and around a bend. Fortunately the cop managed to wave me back before I got to it..

My favorite DUI checkpoint story. I saw one up ahead on a main road and didn't want to wait on it and got on a divided highway entrance and took a 3 mile detour to avoid it.. as you were approaching one of the highway entrances you could see the checkpoint.

The checkpoint I ran across was well-placed. There were plenty of “convenient” spots to turn around in, but they were all well within sight of the police officers at the checkpoint.

00:30 on a Friday night after having worked 10 hours, thankfully it was expedient with only a “where have you been”.

Been pulled twice in 15 years of driving (in Virginia) . One ticket, which I fully deserved because I launched my car from a red light not realizing a cop was right beside me. 68 in a 55.

I always hear stories of a warning sign for a checkpoint on an interstate in the middle of nowhere, with an exit containing nothing of consequence just after the sign, and the checkpoint actually being off that exit.

One morning, d uring a company meeting, I was handed my Driver’s Abstract from the RMV. Everyone in the meeting had already been handed their abstract, most were a single page, a few had a 2nd page. My abstract was 3 pages, covering the last 7 years of my driving h istory. All eyes in the room were looking right at me when my manager said “ Anything you want to say?”. “Y eah” I said, “I’m glad they don’t all the way back to the beginning.” Lots of chuckles from coworkers , not so much from management.
