JumpmanYaris · 04-22-2011, 02:04 PM

There was a thread about this here I remember it got ugly lol

SilverBack · 04-22-2011, 02:30 PM

Had 3 within 5 months. One dropped instantly, one dropped through traffic school, and one still on my record.

Even though the Yaris isn't the textbook definition of a cop-magnet, the driver still can be. Be careful out there.

fo sho but i think all black cars with tints (even though mine arent that dark in the front i think 50%) draw a little attention its like a drug dealer car haha but if you have a loud axle back i.e. the hk i just got rid of the loudness makes cops think twice i think

Got pulled over a few months ago for misuse of a turn lane and got 2 more tickets on top of that one for no insurance and expired tags.

just to be clear i did have insurance it just turned out i handed her the older one that was still in my car. stupid bitch really didn't need to give me a ticket for that but whatever. i guess i learned my lesson???

matthewai · 04-22-2011, 06:12 PM

Sounds like she was in a nasty mood

(may be a permanent condition).

I was stopped when all I had was an older insurance cert. Just didn't get around to putting the new one in. He said "No problem" and looked me up in his cruiser computer and told me that my insurance as up to date.

Connecticut really keeps tabs on your insurance. You drop it and they know immediately.

See Texas has something similar to that. I know because I let the insurance lapse on my scooter and I got a letter from the state basically saying I need to get insurance on it.

I've also been pulled over in the past and didn't have my current insurance paperwork and the cop just simply asked if the car was still being paid off since he knew as long it's financed then by law I have to have full coverage or wouldn't have been able to even buy the car.

But I guess on this most recent occasion she was looking to give me as many tickets as possible since I was that guy using the turn lane as a passing lane. Which I still say wouldn't have had to happen if the guy in the left lane wasn't going 5 miles under the speed limit which just so happened to be the exact same speed as the person in the right lane. Imagine that.

Geez I hate driving. Just typing about it makes me annoyed.

SilverBack · 04-23-2011, 04:08 PM

^The time of the month you got the ticket can also play a role. Cops have to meet a quota by the end of the month, so that's usually when they're the biggest assholes. That was my case for the ticket that got dropped instantly (issued on 5/28/10).

And maybe your issuing cop was also having her own time of the month at the same time...

.Kevin. · 04-23-2011, 04:56 PM

It's against the law to have a 'quota' they mark their performances monthly and what tickets are issued for due to making sure no one is abusing power and for promotions etc. So unless they are trying to get a promotion it is just the cop being an idiot, because even then - speeding tickets etc are just pity.

25km/h over the limit is a ticket anything higher is public endangerment can lose your license etc.

Atleast that is how it is here in Canada.

frownonfun · 04-23-2011, 06:46 PM

I'm pretty sure they have quotas here. Don't think they call it a "quota" though. In the states speeding tickets are a necessary source of revenue for that state. That's just the way it is.

And I certainly don't fault her anymore for being a woman. Male cops are usually much bigger assholes than she was. And like I said I am the one who broke the law in the first place for her to have even needed to pull me over so oh well. Life goes on.

But I still hate driving. Unless it's late at night and no one else is on the road. Now that's good driving.
