ICEMAN F1 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Last Tuesday while driving home from work on the local highway I could have lost my liscence, but for some reason I didnt, what happened was I was clocked doing 96MPH on 65 MPH thats what the cop said, but I know for a fact that I went over 100MPH but I guess he didnt see that part, so he ended up lowering as if he stopped me for doing 74MPH. And for some of you guys that dont live in the US, it says that if you are going over 25MPH over the speed limit then can take you liscence away, but I guess I just got lucky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pumpdoc 2 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 You are so lucky dude, not only is 100mph a big time ticket but depending on the local they will haul your virgin a$$ to jail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Cops may not be a$$holes, but they are sometimes stupid. I've had speeding tickets before that have set me back about 75-100 USD. I've also gotten a ticket for squealing my tyres when I took off from a stop sign. Guess how much that [sarcasm]deadly dangerous act[/sarcasm] cost me? 400 USD and an automatic trip to court. No mail-in payments for that henious crime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Not all cops are arseholes, but the ones that are'nt are complete idiots. Anyway, most cops where bullied in school and compensate with a powertrip to get revenge and show the world that they amount to something. If not they are ex-jocks whom actually never where jocks. oR lastly they are ex-military personell whom actually got bored with the lack of 'action' after being stationed as a Embassy or Airport Guard on Iceland, got homesick but at the same time wanted some excitement. God how I hate coppers. The female ones are the worst BTW, impossible to talk any sense to them as they make up their minds on how to treat 'criminals' before they get out of bed in the morning.

ykickamoocow 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Ive never had any problems with the police. I once got pulled over by them going 20 kp/h over the limit and for a P plate driver it would have been enough for me to loose my license but instead of booking me he mearly gave me a warning.

goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 here's a another good joke on cops: can't find the orginal copy so here is kinda the jist of it: So a guy was speeding on the highway when the cop starts chasing him, he keeps on driving faster and the cops chases him until he realises he is not going to out run the cop he slows down and stops. So the cop comes to the guy's window and says" My shift ends in 3 minutes if you have a good enough excuse , i willl let you go" So the man say, " 20 years ago my wife ran away with a policeman, i though you were trying to return her back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 Ive received a warning for being drunk and disorderly in a public place (i was being far too loud and mental for their liking since was a residential area lol!) before but it was pretty fair and I dont hold any grudges against the police, not all of them are twats and some are actually a bit of a laugh. when one of my mates was being cautioned i was just stood their laughing at them and another cop just thought i was quite funny for laughing at her getting a caution. Was quite funny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially in MKAD, where the limit is 100 KMH, but I don't think I've ever seen anybody going under 150 yet . You get stopped for 10 mph over the limit? Blah...

We have great speed limits here. 65-85 and depending on where you are you can go faster than that. In fact, the cruising speed on most non-traffic-jammed freeways is about 90 mph.

Thats a good reason to go to germany when u feel the need for speed and a good vacation. I find it hard to imagine driving only a couple of hours and suddenly being in a differeent country.

At least get your facts straight, motorway speed limit is 70 MPH (put that in caps for clarification ) and most traffic runs at 80-85. Unless there are roadworks, which are quite frequent, I grant you that!! And you Americans would have to stop and think what to do if you were to drive on one of our, narrow, twisty, country roads.
