Silly Question ~ How many of you have gotten a ticket?

[Firefly]

And "roadside field sobriety tests", i.e., physical gymnastics has no correlation to whether your "NORMAL" faculties are impaired. Those tests are designed to fail you. IMHO (Don't beat up on me Joe)

Yup.. I can't do half that stuff when SOBER... :roflblack:

All the roadside tests do (including the breathalizer) is give them probably cause for a blood alcohol test... via blood draw. Breathalizer results aren't used in court... just the blood draw results.

I'm all for keeping drunks off the roads, but roadside mandatory checkpoints are :cus:. I'm not too keen on being stopped for doing nothing and being asked for my papers! If they see me driving goofy or breaking some traffic law... fine... but to just line people up and check them is :cus:.

SEGWAY.......

Speaking of Sobriety tests, This guy is speeding down a street, And is stopped by a cop at a check point.
As the cop approaches the car he notices, lighter fluid, matches and torches, on the back seat, So the cop gets Leary, And asks the guy,'What are you doing with all that stuff'?...
The guy says, I'm a juggler and i use them in my act', Oh yeah, I don't think so, Get out of your car and let me see you juggle them. So he gets out lights the torches, and starts to juggle them perfectly...
Just then a man and his wife driving by, Stops to watch,The man then turns to his wife and says, I better stop drinking... I'll never be able to pass the test their giving now.....

Please don't ever say that to the officer when he/she requests that you perform these tests and you're being video taped. It implies to the jury that you are presently not sober. (Just a tip)

Only had a parking ticket with a regular vehicle, and a couple of "fix it" tickets as a result of DOT inspections ( all in NYS, they have been cracking down HARD last few years) , only serious run in with the law was when i was a kid, getting caught riding a 3 wheeler ( the off road type) along the side of the road, I didn't realize the trooper lived on that road, and I made the mistake of lying to him that it was the first time I did that.... Wrong move!! I wound up with a major chewing- out from both him and my dad afterwards. Of course, word got around to the other kids in high school and I got totally razzed for not trying to outrun the state cop.

speed

I got my driver license when I was 16 My motor cycle @17 and my class one (tractor trailer) at 21 I have been driving 50years without a ticket , Only by the skin of my teeth some times but , ALWAYS GAVE THE POLICE RESPECT (even when they did not deserv it) AND THEY WILL USUALLY WORK WITH YOU. I have been pulled over. :yes::yikes:

75 years old, been driving legally since Jan 1954. Working on a farm was one huge driving experience, especially doing the milk routes with the "old guys" that let me drive all the time before I got my license. One speeding ticket for 35 in a 25 Zone when we lived in DE in 1973. Been stopped for various reasons, but never received another ticket of any kind. I readily admit deserving a few, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. It would take all morning to cover the tickets my wife and five kids received over the years.
Happy Trails

I hope you fought them and got deferrals or reduced points. What I basically do is file plenty of formal discovery requests via mail for all kinds of stuff related to the ticket, the road, the officer, the radar gun, calibration methods, records pertaining to the officer and his/her training on radar gun usage, road speed surveys, etc... They won't want to do all the legwork as it costs too much $$$.... so they'll ask you what you want or offer up a deferral. Last time I did it the judge himself called me and offered the deferral. Once they determine you know your rights and how the system works, they'll want to get rid of you as fast as you were speeding.

I also joined this group: http://www.motorists.org/fightticket/
If you are a member and get a ticket and fight it using their methods and lose.... they will pay for the ticket....:thumbup:

I just paid the 'bail' for each ticket. None of them ever showed up on my license. If they had, I probably wouldn't be a trucker right now. Haha

I have to agree with you, some of the tests are extremely unfair, especialy to older people.

Actually this is a real simple thing to avoid...
DON'T put yourself in a postion where they're going to want to take a closer look at you, and you'll be fine! :thumbup:
Drawing attention to yourself because of WHAT you ride is cool!
Drawing attention to yourself because of HOW you ride; not so much! :shocked:

And then again, Bob, you may have a tag light out <rolling eyes>, tail light not working properly, or your windows are improperly tinted justifying a "stop".

Last ticket was in 1971..... it was substantial!!!!!!!!! 95 in a 40...:yikes:.. they moved the city limits while I was away at school....thought I was in the county..:banghead:. The officer hollered "Mark, is that you?" (small town)... at least he wrote me for 95mph.so he wouldn't have to take me to jail.:lecturef_smilie:.... was doing closer to 115. Cost me 2 weeks pay on that one.... nojoke I like to think I learned a lesson pps:

 

[sonicsix]

No tickets on a bike or Spyder. Would have gotten one when I was young on a motorcycle, but I outran the cop. That was when I was 17 and invincible. Nowadays, I do the speed limit which really seems to frustrate the line of traffic behind me. Oh well, I reckon they don't realize that I am not in their hurry.
