When was the last time a cop pulled you over?

[Anonymous]

Did you get a ticket? What for?

Oh, it's been quite some time. I'd say at least a good 22 years. My car was in the shop, and i was using someones car at the time that needed a new muffler so it was kind of loud. The cop pulled me over for squealing tires, and a loud muffler. Which isn't like it probably sounds. I was at an intersection with no lights that's pretty busy. When i stopped at the intersection i think i braked too hard and locked the brakes up a bit (again it wasn't my car, i wasn't that used to it). But the cop pulled up behind me. Finally i got my opening to cross and gave it gas to get across and too much gas i guess and squealed the tires a bit. The cop followed me and pulled me over. The funny part was it was a guy i'd went to high school with. He admonished me on the tire squeal. I knew it wasn't habit for me or intentional and didn't think it was worth contesting. But he still wrote me for the muffler. The person who loaned me the car felt bad about that. I told them that it was just the luck of the draw. Without them i wouldn't have even had a car.

Australia is vastly different from the USA highway patrol and the like , you are stopped regularly mainly for breathe testing and drugs , rarely a patrol car , so you just get used to it..

Seatbelts and touching phones NO NO NO , and fines are massive , not a remote option

In US basically for the most part you have to be doing something wrong , not so in Australia.

But last actual pull over ( if you count running from the police box , here in Soi 61 ) was motorbike " no helmet on main road " I gave them 500 baht and asked for a further months grace = no problem as I have a Thai licence.

When driving in US , loved it , coz I'm blend in and well used to seatbelts , never looked like getting stopped.

I never get pulled over because I do not drive. A guy who drove our friends home from church got stopped by a police car for rushing a premature turn, but the cop let us go without punishment, because he felt sorry for us.

Almost 20 years I think, for speeding. It was Iowa and the whole state was 55, which is dreadfully slow when I'm used to 75 and 80 out here. I don't think he wrote me a ticket though? But that was so long ago I almost can't remember lol

it has been maybe ten years. I was out of state and it was early in the morning. I was probably doing 80 in a 70 zone. I thought I was screwed but I just went Yes Sir and No sir to the cop. And did what he told me to do. He let me off with a warning.

A state policeman was riding a motorcycle looked in my open window and saw no seat belt and wrote me a ticket. It would have been easy just to grab the seat belt and hold it down with my right hand so it would look like it was connected.

Rolling through a stop sign. Maybe a year ago. I was respectful and she let me go without a ticket. .

A female cop from church pulled me over, wrote me a ticket and told me I should ask her out.

Back in mid May for not fully stopping a stop sign and yes I got a ticket.
