A few points.
1: You are not awesome.
2: Please tell me that's not 30 miles over.
3: The cop should be punished for not doing his job properly. If you were emotional to the point of not being able to drive properly he should have fined you and made you catch pubblic transport home not drive off to endange the lives of other further.
4: What is "Hard Lemonade?"
5: Bragging about breaking the law on the internet does not make you cool
Wow, this guy beat me to it.
So..... Yeah. Anyone who says "like a pro" is NOT awesome, and you deserved to get a ticket if you were going 30 over.

Ok, first of all, everyone who is calling OP an asshole for speeding seriously need to shut up. Even if he was going 30 over, controlling a car is not difficult, if you know what the hell you are doing when you are driving speeding poses no more of a threat to anyone than just driving the speed limit does. It all has to do with the drivers ability to control the vehicle, and if OP was able to safely control his vehicle at that speed, more power to him.

Fairly recently me and two friends got caught by the police about to smoke weed, bong in my hand, in the car on some hill that's usually virtually deserted. Since we were caught red handed we just owned up and took the rap. We were honest with them, answered all the questions etc and in turn they were polite to us in return and didn't even search us. Still got the street side warning and they took our weed obviously.

I'm happy how it turned out. At least we kept our dignity, I'd rather take the rap like that instead of crying like a *****, faked or not.

I've been pulled over seven times (six for speeding. I drive fast, but I'm always driving safe. I'm the preferred driver amongst my friends) and never gotten more than a warning.

Beat that! (Because quite honestly, I can't explain it)
Forgive me if this is out of line, but... are you female?

I have a friend (girl) who has been pulled over like 10 times and has only been ticketed once, whereas I have been pulled over 5 times and gotten tickets for the DUMBEST shit imaginable. I moved to a new city, and the next day I get a ticket for not having a "city sticker," which is a dumb decal that proves you pay tax on your car (which I didn't yet, because I had just moved, but I got the ticket anyway), then I got a new car and got a ticket for not having a frong license plate (despite the fact that the car didn't even have a spot for one). So yeah, I ask because, unfortunately, that might explain it ;)

If not, I got nothing.
No, I am not a female. I guess I'm just lucky!

My worst offense was going 50 mph in a 20 mph school zone (school was not in session though, so don't anyone jump on my case about endangering children's lives now). That one I should have gotten a ticket for. I had no excuse for the officer other than, and I quote, "I didn't see the speed sign and I'm not from this area." Again, just another warning.

Congratulations, you sold your dignity for a speeding ticket fine.

Though on reflection that is a pretty good deal and I would take it if offered.

I'm always at least 10 km/h over the limit, but the few times I've been pulled over I've been let go. I think it's because I'm usually on my way home from work, at 4 AM, and there is no one else on the roads. That I'm probably the one that served the officer's food earlier in the night.

The title of this thread led me to 3 thoughts

The normal one, which is basiclyw hat you did

The pro, as in prostitute, which was kidna disturbing like "a 100$ ticket, how much is that in blowjobs"

and ofc last but not least the pro as in pro gamer, like outrunning the police due to your 1337 GTA style driving skills, or using some sort of hack to turn invisible.

"So guys, I got pulled over, but then instead of accepting my ticket I decided to cry, like a ***** mind you, and the cop thought I was so pathetic that he didn't give me the ticket! Am I awesome or what?!"

That's what I got out of the story.

I call bullshit.

Experienced or inexperienced, controlling your car is not easy. I've fishtailed my partners Ford Fairmont AU on a busy wet road, had I have panicked I wouldn't have been able to control it. And it wasn't a small fishtail, I was in the other guys lane. It's not second nature, you don't just acquire these things over time. There is no excuse to endanger others, not even in an emergency at the speed he was going over.

EDIT: I wasn't even speeding...

... Famous last words.

Not understanding the relation between speed and kinetic energy can be fatal.

Also, I'm going to agree with this guy. If anything, it's not pro. It's pathetic.

That's actually pretty irresponsible. How do you go 30 over without noticing? And with alcohol in the back seat? And pretending to cry to get yourself out of a ticket? Third graders pretend to cry when the teachers gets onto them, not a grown man.

I did 20km over in a 60km zone while I was still on my provisional license, you know what I did? I took the fine of $250, paid it and also lost 3 out of 4 demerit points. I also learnt my lesson and haven't copped a fine since.
Hmmm, you wouldn't be from QLD?

OT: You shouldn't boast about not getting a ticket from a cop you rightfully deserve because of your sob story. I would have to laugh if the officer did actually read the escapist though.

Oh, just that I'm still on my provisional (P2 actually) in QLD, and I am always watching out for radar traps because I only have 4 points.

I've been pulled over 4 times now with no tickets, not even a written warning. Thing is I never act my way out of it. All you have to do is be polite, be honest, and say you're sorry. There is always the chance that you get pulled over by an ass or a guy who's had a bad day, but acting won't help you either in that situation.

I have been off my P's for 3 years now, when I did that I was only on my P's for a year and a half and P Plates weren't mandatory. I also was on my phone at the time (it was in my lap), so I was lucky it was a speed camera and not a cop that got me. I wasn't paying attention to my speed and didn't think to look for speed cameras. It was also in an area where one lone policeman hides on his bike to catch people speed, his name is Nigel Berry but we all like to call him The Lonely Grape. I also don't like talking on the phone while driving anymore, one close encounter is enough.
