Just Avoided a ticket like a pro

[nick n stuff]

well i think it's apparent that everyone now hates this dude:

"hey guys, i was being stupid and dangerous but the police let me off because i cried like a girls and manipulated his better nature, and that makes me the bigger man...please be my friends now."

 

[Chogg Van Helsing]

Well, I dont drive yet, but so long as he was actually driving safely, I don't see the problem really. It's lucky he avoided the sprreding ticket, but I would only be pissed off if he was driving recklessly. And I'm sure he wasn't drinking the 'hard lemonade'. If he was, IU take all this back lol.

Seriously, though. When I read this I thought "What?? Who cares about speeding in a 30 zone?" Then, of course, I remembered that I'm the majority here, I drive of the left side of the road, have real outlets, metric system, sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, everything that's wonderful is what I feel...

Okay, that went on a bit too long. Ima stop now.

Driving safely while speeding? not possible.

Speed limits are not chosen randomly from a hat they are calculated based on a balance between the fastest and safest possible for that road.

Doubling your speed quadruples the stopping distance and theres no way he could stop in time of anything if hes 30 over.

he didn't say he was speeding in a 30 zone he said he was 30 over the limit, huge difference.

it is possible. Maybe not if the road you are driving on is crowded, but if not, it is very possible.

I gotta go with the majority here. While I couldn't care less about you doing it, the fact your bragging about crying like a little girl just to get away with doing something VERY illegal doesn't make you any more impressive. I admit, I'm a pansy when it comes to driving, mainly due to my paranoia. I always try go the speed limit. That doesn't mean I haven't gotten a ticket before, but never due to stupid things like speed.

A pro sees the cop trying to turn or coming after him, kills the lights, speeds up, swings into a residential neighborhood and finds himself a spot in someones driveway, preferably next to a big truck, and waits.

Pro tip: do not attempt at 3am with undisturbed fresh fallen snow.

says the person not even driving yet.

you never know whats around the next bend and if your speeding you have no time to react

plus just because you do make it home you weren't driving safely, making it with no indecent is not the definition of safely.

I dont get why everybody jumps on him for "acting like a girl". What would be better in a situation like that? Pull out a gun and shoot the officer-manly enough? Perhaps a little car chase with the police? Saying that you are drunk/on drugs and didnt see the signs?
Sure-the best thing would have been to accept the ticket and pay the bill like a reaaal man, but this is just too boring and normal to create a thread.
Also I dont get the posters that yell "OMG-your reckless driving threatens lives" without knowing anything about the circumstances. Mayabe it happend around midnight on a long and empty road in the middle of nowhere? Dont get me wrong-I DONT say that speeding is good and OK-but not everybody that pushes the gas pedal a little more than allowed does that at noon in the middle of a schoolyard

Jesus fucking christ, have you no shame? Blubbering like an infant to get out of a speeding ticket... holy Hell man, grow a pair. And don't suggest that you got out of a ticket like a Pro when you stoop to those levels.

Generally cops around here are good cunts and if you just act like a normal human being, admit you did wrong and accept the ticket they'll treat you okay. If you just take it on the chin like that and make it easy for them a lot of the time they'll let you off with a warning. Things not to do:

- Argue. Don't complain that the guy in front of you was doing the same speed, don't act like a victim and claim you were unfairly singled out and don't start suggesting that the officer go out and deal with real crime. The cop doesn't care and he won't appreciate it.
- Give excuses. Cops have heard them all before. They won't care that you didn't notice the speed limit sign, they don't care if you're late for work. They may care if it's a real emergency of course and they may care if you say "sory mate but I'm really drunk and I wanted to get home before the cops got me".
- Act surly or dismissive. Yeah you're taking the punishment but the cop's not going to think you've learned your lesson, hence less likely to give you a warning.
- Cry like an infant. You may get out of a speeding ticket but you'll have a hard time getting back your self respect.

Hey, if you can put on a crying act legit enough to fool an officer, well, more power to you.
Just don't kill anyone, ok?

I once drove back from a concert with 4 people crammed on the back seat which is very illegal (mainly because of seatbelts) and was pulled over. I explained we were on our way back from a concert and he just let us on our way claiming "Yeah, well it's rock n'roll ain't it!". I was very happy.

 

[Slaanax]

My friend did 90 past a state trooper once and wasn't even pulled over.

 

[Pariah87]

I'd be intrigued to see how many of the "What an dumb arse you are for breaking the law!" people have dabbled in drugs, drank underage, or have broken the law in some other way. I've yet to meet anyone who's squeaky clean and has never broken a single law, whether they've been caught or not so calling a guy out for it just seems odd.

Crying like a ***** on the other hand...damn dude.

Round here there are some roads where people make up the speed limit as they go along and almost everyone follows suit. One stretch of road in particular is a 40 yet it's common, especially at 5 am or 10 pm to see people doing 60.

Personally I think some roads need a speed limit rethink. There is another road, very bendy with blind curves and hills which is 60. Hit one of those bends at 60 whilst a tractors coming the other way and you'll soon regret it, yet other roads like the afforementioned 40 zone are big, double laned, less bends yet are 20mph less.

Here's a "pro tip" I learned after my friend was pulled over doing around 110 on a motorway: If you're going to speed like a loon, make sure you're not the rear car because the police always pull them over, ignoring the car infront of you doing exactly the same speed.

 

[CouchCommando]

Wow almost beats my ,"omg I'm getting pulled over by a sexy chick in uniform" line, my friend almost died from embarrassment and I got her number.

 

[MagicMouse]

Idc that you were speeding. "All" teenagers do.

But there is a difference between being slick to avoid a ticket and using you "pro" acting skills to cry like a little girl.

Overall my assessment is that this is not a cool thing to brag about.

EDIT: Used nicer words.

Well, I could argue with you over the motives of your post, but no-one truly knows them (not even you).

You're assuming he hasn't seen any of your other posts.

YOU referenced that he was 'new here'. You're making assumptions based on very little. What I see, is someone raising a valid criticism, only to be refuted with fluff. So what if he's knew? He doesn't need to read every one of your posts to form an opinion about one of them. He's not judging YOU, in the same way I'm not judging YOU. He's commenting on your post and its implications. Don't take it so personally.

I find it hard to tolerate such rude language, but I do tolerate it. PUOSU.

See the irony in correcting spelling and then using the wrong new / knew? Yeah. (In case it isn't obvious I also think that guy is completely clueless posting as he did, and as correctly pointed out a hypocrite (oh and he was judging her 'ego', so he was judging her)).

I have yet to be in any real trouble, but then again I live in Switzerland...
My brother on the other hand who was picking me up from some football match missed a sign which said you can't drive through here. Cop came, managed to blame it on all the other people doing it and not seeing the sign (other people in front of him did it and didn't get away with it), hurrah.

 

[kaieth]

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"

Dude, AWESOME! The crying, though, you might wanna rethink. I actually got off on 25mph over one day when a motorcycle cop pulled me over, for no reason that I can think of except maybe being pleasant, and just yesterday got out of a 20 over ticket, same deal. Have you tried saying that you're going to bible study (I've seen it work several times right in front of me)?

 

[child of lileth]

I've still never been pulled over or anything, so I don't have any stories. Still, officers tend to let people go with a warning like in the OP pretty often, even without fake acting.

 

[KaiRai]

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

Proud of being a dangerous asshole and then whimpering like a schoolgirl (not the good kind) all in the same day? You have a shit life for that to be something you tell to people on the Internet. Especially the escapist, the most motherly bunch of people on the netwebs.

Pretty much both these couldn't be more accurate.

OP, what you did would constitute losing your licence over here in the UK. Perhaps that's the one bit of law we have right.

Going over 45 in a 30 zone = Instant 12 month ban.
Going over 100 on a Motorway (70mph speed limit) = 12 month ban. 18 months if you're an asshole about it.

I pray you weren't in a residential area with children in too.
