The OFFICIAL speeding ticket thread - Toyota Yaris Forums

ChinoCharles · 03-20-2007, 12:11 AM

Where: I90 Eastbound, mile marker 228, Ohio
When: Sunday, March 18th, 2007
Gunned by: Airplane (FUCKING PRICKS!)
Speed: 77 in a 65
Who: Ohio State Trooper

It was a regular pig slaughter. They were waiting for my ass. He said they "clocked me at 77 MPH, at which point traffic let up and I was seen accellerating to speeds of 'at least 80 MPH.'" No shit officer.

I wasn't the only one. There were 5 cops in the visible area around where I was. This is, as they call it, a speed trap.

It was the first speeding ticket I had since I was 18, so it'll be the only 2 points on my license. Oh well.

*Astroman* · 03-20-2007, 12:17 AM

I have gotten 2 so far, one for 11 over (41 in a 30) and one for 18 over (48 in a 30). Both by the same cop, on the same road, while getting back to work from lunch. I have a radar detector, but they use lasers here. The stupid thing is EVERYONE goes 40 on this road, its wide open and has 4 lanes. Of course whenever I do keep it around 30 the cop is never there

And the 18 over one was

because there was a car that just passed me! Oh well, I guess the meth problem in my town isn't that big a deal, better get the people who have jobs & cars.

My first ticket was for doing 75mph in a 35mph, got it down to just a speeding record in that city.

My second ticket (2 years later) was for doin 35mph in a 25mph, cost 80 bucks for that ticket and i didn't even know that street was only 25 mph.

Kitt · 03-20-2007, 02:17 PM

I got one too: 120 KM/h in a 80 KM/h zone... 60 bucks!!! but the sign was not visible, the previous zone was 110... I was about to get that ticket anyways...

jdubau55 · 03-20-2007, 04:22 PM

I am not commenting here about the last time I got a speeding ticket....cause then I'll get one.

sf180th · 03-20-2007, 04:27 PM

My ticket can be summed up pretty well with what Chino posted, Why is that you say, BECAUSE I WAS FOLLOWING HIM AND GOT PULLED OVER TOO! Gonna cost me $110!!!

ChinoCharles · 03-20-2007, 04:35 PM

I'm sorry Marc!

I'm going the speed limit at all meets from now on! Its easy to have lead foot when you're racing around with fellow owners, but it surely wasn't worth what happened that day.

sf180th · 03-20-2007, 04:43 PM

We are just dam lucky they didnt clock us earlier when we where going "Really Fast" if you know what I mean!!!!!

ChinoCharles · 03-20-2007, 04:44 PM

Yeah, no kidding.

jdubau55 · 03-20-2007, 05:41 PM

Fastest I have been so far was I think around 100. Possibly 110. Def way faster than what I should have been going.

eco · 03-20-2007, 08:25 PM

Speak of the devil,just got one Saturday morning at 4:15am going to get breakfast at McDonalds on my lunch break,57 in a 35,im only on that road for about 2mins before I make another turn to go to micky d's,and Im coming off a road thats 55mph,so I might fight this one.
And the first we the Yaris was on the highway,83 in a 65 about 5 months ago.
I also have a running a red light ticket,so 3 so far with the Yaris,this car attracts bad luck.

El Jefe · 03-20-2007, 08:43 PM

my first and only ticket has been in the yaris (none in my cobra WTF?!?!?) it was 88 on the freeway (65mph) cost me almost $300 when i was done taking traffic school and paying the fine

acrbill · 03-20-2007, 11:14 PM

I find myself speeding in the Yaris more than any other car I have ever owned.

I generally do not speed on city streets, but with the Yaris I am always going 10 over.

The expressway is another matter though. I would routinely hit 120 in my PT on the on the way to work in the morning, I don't trust the Yaris at much more than 80.

Bretsuaz · 03-20-2007, 11:18 PM

87 in a 70 on I10 near Blythe Ca. My partner was driving. $285.00!!!!!! Damn CHP!

eTiMaGo · 03-23-2007, 09:48 AM

I don't think they so any proper speeding checkes here.. It's kinda pointless, the highways are supposedly limited to 80km/h, but everyone does at least 120... Only time I've been stopped was when I had my dealer plates, you're not supposed to drive after 6PM. But the cop was friendly, and frankly puzzled to see a white guy drive such a car, and managing to speak Thai as well

, so he let me off.

Anyway even if you do get a ticket here, the easiest option is to, how shall we say, contribute to the cop's retirement fund...

tekmoe · 03-23-2007, 11:33 AM

i've only been pulled over one time in a vehicle with 4 wheels and that was because one of my license plate bulbs was out.

i can't tell you how many times i've been pulled over on 2 wheels...four hands still wouldn't be enough.

redyaris · 03-23-2007, 03:15 PM

Has anyone ever received a ticket for not maintaining a minumum speed?

I figure the Yaris might be a strong candidate for this!

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-23-2007, 03:22 PM

i got one a while back when i had my GTI. it was in Vallejo, and i was "clocked" at 46 mph in a 25 mph zone. it didn't even seem like i was past 35 mph...oh, and a donut muncher on a bike pulled me over.
