Dang Cops, Crimping my style

“The good thing about wearing scrubs when you get pulled over for doing 85 in a 55 though is that the cops tend to look the other way and let you off lightly :D I KNEW I shoulda bought a radar detector for this vehicle too.

“That or you could slow down.”

“my wife got a ticket the other day!!!...i want to meet the basturd cop that gives an obviously pregnant lady a ticket”

“TH, tell her to wear scrubs.”

“Radar detectors generally don't do any good because the cops generally leave them off right up until they use it on you.”

“TH, tell her to practice her Lamaze breathing”

“i told her to grab her stomach and yell "it's time, it's time", but then i found out it was a chick cop, no sympathy”

“Please drive responsibly. Speeding isn't cool. Speeding kills 1,000 Americans every month.”

“sarge is right, speeding isn't cool, but running red lights is very cool”

“SC is cruising for a bad wreck.”

“i'm just pulling this out of my @ss here, but i remember seeing a study that said something like 70%-75% of all drivers speed...it's pretty common

our "loop", 465 is a great example...the limit is 55 but if you go 55 you'll be the only one

oh no, is this thread going fuego”

“TH, thats the way the skyway toll road is that I take to work. If you go 55....people will kill you! I betcha he picked me out because of my temperary licence plate and the dancing bears on my truck. I have NEVER had a ticket before. This is the first time i've ever been pulled over. LOL!

“You know I'm right. (don't worry - it's our little secret)

Tell me, now be honest!!!

Did you grow up loving care-bears and unicorns?

Come on, be honest! You don't want to dishonor the tree goddess.

Tell us the truth - Do you have those rainbow colored bears dancing in your car window?



The truth!

“hey, I HAD to pimp my ride dude.... I got a fuzzy steering wheel cover, some fuzzy dice and dancing beers in the back window.”

“Usually, speed enforcement is based on the 85th percentile speed, whether measured or estimated. In California, it's a legal requirement for radar speed enforcement that you have to be going faster than that speed, based on a legitimate speed survey conducted within (I think) 5 years. Also, cops can tail you and, theoretically, ticket you for going 1 mph over the posted speed limit, but most will have an idea of what the 85th percentile speed is, and will only go after that fastest 15%.

It is true that many many many collisions are caused by people who are simply driving too fast. At a minimum, please drive at the posted speed limit when you are in a neighborhood. Even when the speed limit is 25, the likelihood of being able to stop in time when you're going 25 if a kid runs out in front of you is slim. If you're going faster (say, 35), it is very likely you will kill someone if you hit them, which you will if they run out in front of you.”

“holy cow...i don't know why we have a "search function"...if we need to find something all we have to do is ask sarge LOL”

“sounds pretty sweet Spirit! LOL”

“Im hopeing to get leopard print seat covers next payday for it.”

“i agree bowlder...i NEVER speed in neighborhoods...i think speed effects more of the severity of the crash and not as much as causing the crash...it's following distance and being alert that counts”

“speeding kills 1000 Americans every month”

“Guns kill more americans per month.”

“people not paying attention to what theyre doing causes the accidents”

“To bad speeding didn't kill more drivers per month, then the freeway would not be so dang crowded!!”

“SC, where were you going 85 in a 55 that a Gary cop got you? I thought it was state troopers who patrol the tollway.”

“You get into an accident when you're doing 85 mph and somebody dies, you'll probably talking jail/prison.”
