Ever had a traffic ticket?

Sounds like something Red Green would do lol



Well, I thought you would be glad to see it could be worse..lol

I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a damn motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

So I called him a pencil-necked jerk.

He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires!

So I called him a piece of horse doo.

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!

This went on for about 20 minutes.

The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. But I didn't care. My car was parked around the corner. I try to have a little fun each day. It's important.

BTW

I have had *one* ticket my whole life when I was 16 with my learners permit. I really deserved it too. I had been on a road trip with my friend and had been driving for 10 hours. I was so bagged!!

I was too stubborn to let her drive though so I speeding to get home, he clocked me at 87 in a 50 It was a country highway at night.

He said he followed me at a lot faster though. He gave me a ticket but he could have dragged my butt to jail. I was very grateful!


I was so stupid to do that and it definately scared me straight!

A few months ago I got a $125 ticket for going 56 in a 50 mph zone. It was 8 am on a Sunday morning on a deserted country road no less. The worst part was that I had to go to 4 hours of traffic school as well. Then, yesterday I got a safety citation from the state congratulating me on being "moving violation free" for the past 4 years. It also allowed me to renew my driver's license over the internet, which I am happy about.

Binny, that was hilarious!

When I was 19, I got pulled over for speeding, but it wasn't me. The cop turned a corner and lost whoever it was he was really chasing and pulled me over instead (it was at night). I was never even at the intersection he said I was at when he said he first saw me speeding! I fought it in court and won! I was pretty proud of myself since I was only 19. But I was telling the truth. Even brought a map to show the Judge my route, and the route the cop took, and where we met up.

My elation was short lived though. Less than a month later I got a speeding ticket that I did deserve.

But I haven't gotten a ticket since. (That's not to say that I haven't deserved one, though.)

OK......here's a funny story and I'm 'fessing up! On my way to the train station one morning, I decided that I'd stop for a cup of coffee to go. But I knew I only had a few minutes to grab it and make the train. I made the smart decision to pull over in front of the store (in the FIRE LANE !) since I'd only be inside for 30 seconds. Well, you guessed it. As I headed to the door, coffee in hand, I saw the officer getting out of the police car behind my car.
Desperate, I began walking out of the store, dragging my left leg stiffly behind me. I apologized to the officer and told him that I had injured my knee the day before and had trouble walking distances. He gave me a weird look but let me go! I was so petrified that when I got to the train station (only about a block away) I also 'stiff-walked' to the platform in case he was watching me. LOL! Please don't flame me - I learned my lesson and will NEVER park illegally again.

I got a $125 speeding ticket for doing 51 in a 35 MPH. I realized I was over the speed limit and I usually don't mouth off to a cop, I just grin & bear it -- but he was hidding in the driveway of a church.

I asked him if he didn't think that violated the "separation of church & state" policy - he just grinned at me, said "Good try. Have a nice day".

But I guess in 40 years of driving, one ticket isn't too bad.

binny, I'm laughing about this. That sounds like my luck.

<b>off2disney</b> I got my first ticket last year. 60 in a 55.

I think you did pretty well not getting a traffic ticket in 40 years of driving.

That's too funny, Off2disney!! I've had 2 speeding tickets. The first time I was running late for work. Snagged me on a corner just as I was approaching DS's day care center. Another time I was a bit too fast on a straight road where it's too easy to speed up. Both times I was driving a Camaro. Since I got rid of that car, I don't get speeding tickets. Vans just don't have the same pick up. LOL!

I hope I don't jinx myself by answering.

I got a speeding ticket when I was 21 for going 72 in a 55. I went to court and beat the ticket -- the police officer didn't show up. So, I got off much to my delight.

It's been over 20 years. Knock on wood my luck continues.

Now, if the question had been how many times did I actually deserve a ticket and didn't get one, that would be another story.

Ive been pulled over for speeding 3 times, but Ive always gotten out of it with just a verbal warning.
I have gotten a couple parking tickets though. 1 was while I was at work, I was parked at a time limit street spot longer than the limit. However since our parking lot was full, my work covered it. And once I did do something stupid. I parked in a crosswalk...but it didnt look like a crosswalk. To me it was just a part of a road made out of bricks. I always thought a crosswalk was white lines. Towns try to be all fancy and look what happens.

You guys are hilarius!!!


Knock on wood......I've only gotten one speeding ticket but for the record, I've been stopped several times.
