Just Avoided a ticket like a pro

[Zykon TheLich]

...by crying? Quick thinking there Batman. That is quite amusing.

I don't really speed in town, but on motorways virtually every fucker is speeding. Slow lane is for the guys doing 60-70, middle is for 80-90 and the fast lane is for 90-100. Going 30mph over the speed limit on a motorway is no big deal, however, if you were doing 50+ past a school or 60+ through city streets then that is pretty stupid. But then most people have donr stupid things at one time or another.

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.

Back in the easy days to get the P's lol. I was lucky not to do the 100 hour log book alone. Just have to dodge speed tickets and other law breaking stunts for 7 months, then opens (yay). And I have talked on my phone once, but that was in the middle of a traffic jam.

To the original poster: What. A. Loser.

Crying your way out of a ticket isn't "pro".

Going to agree with that. Real pros don't get pulled over in the first place.

 

[AMMO Kid]

You endangered other people and are bragging about it? You said it yourself, you already are paying off a ticket, you should have been fined again for repeated offense. It's people like you who kill people on the road.


On a happier note, you didn't actually kill anyone.

so, i was going home, wasnt payin attention, turns out i was goin 30 over, and i get pulled over, and i started whimpering and crying a little (ty acting lessons) and said my girlfriend just broke up with me, and he came back a sec later said it was my lucky night and i should slow down, i was curious, how often do people actually get off like this, seriously, not even a stern warning, just a "slow down"

You a hustler son!
/fistbump.

I don't speed. My luck dictates I will get pulled over if I ever do.
My mom knows literally all but two cops in the city, and she's only paid two speeding tickets in her life. If she had to pay a ticket for every time she sped, the U.S. national debt would be 20% paid off.

Nice!
Make them feel like they're stepping on a puppy, always works!

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I have never been in trouble with the law so I do not have my own example.

^^This^^

I cannot say I approve of endangering pedestrians either. I'm a very careful driver and have not been pulled over once.

Seriously.

 

[Timbydude]

I can understand 5 or 10 over, but 30 over? I can't think of a place where that's safe. I'm kind of saddened that you got away with it, to be totally honest.

I haven't had to talk my way out of a ticket, mainly because I don't speed.

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.

You don't know much about driving do you?
The faster you are going the less time you have to react to any potential dangers e.g a child or animal in the the road.
Its harder to take a corner at higher speed.
The damage done from a crash increases greatly with every mph faster you go.

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

I thought this in particular needed highlighting. Its such an obviously foolish statement. I don't think i even need to explain why.
Please do me a favour and never drive a car. At least, not until you mature a bit and realise the speed limits are in place for a reason.
And OP: Well done, you cried like a girl to get out of a ticket. That really deserves a lot of praise [/sarcasm]

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

My step-brother got pulled over going 93 in a 55. The cop was like "Was there any reason why you were going 93 mph?" and my idiot step-brother says "Just trying to get home." It may have worked if it was like midnight but it like 6:30pm...

 

[Chipperz]

I don't know why everyone's on this guy's case, honestly. They "cry like a pussy" routine is...

Ahh who am I kidding? It's crying like a pussy. I'm actually picturing some fat gamer dude with pigtails and a little frilly pink hair clip thing.

He's gonna drive and I bet he'll drive in California. Ever since I've moved here that has been the only mentality I can imagine that would justify how fast and recklessly people drive.

It also is why I'm not the least bit surprised that every day I see at least a dozen different cars with heavy damage from accidents driving around. Many of them still driving like madmen.

The OP is probably in my state now, I feel bad for the cop, just wants to do his job and has to listen to some entitled kid fake crying. Probably didn't give him a ticket because he was the 20th person that day to do it and couldn't deal with it anymore.

Interesting to note that the woman who killed a foreign exchange student (who hadn't been in the US for even a day yet) stated nearly this same argument months prior when she got in multiple accidents. The city was Bellingham, Washington, and worst still the school newspaper tried to make her sound like the victim.

There is no such thing as safely controlling your vehicle at those speeds, because there are too many variables that you will never have control of.

The sad part is that by all likelihoods you will hurt someone very bad in your lifetime if this is what you believe. Someone who likely hasn't done anything deserving of a lifelong injury. But then the future prospect of maiming someone doesn't tend to matter to folks who really need to get somewhere 5 minutes faster.

I realize we are all mortal but good gosh, life isn't that short (well it is if you drive 30 over all the time).

I speed all the time, but I have these lights on top of my vehicle that make it ok. All the cops around here know me anyways, so I never get pulled over anyways.
