The OFFICIAL speeding ticket thread

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

My father-in-law was notorious for that. It was the funniest shit to be in the car for also. He loved listening to talk radio, and he would forget he was on the freeway and start doing between 40 and 50. With out fail (even if you reminded him that he was trying to piss people off) there would be a cop wondering what the hell he was doing.

The latest speeding ticket I got was when I came back from Oregon back in early April. Just got finished trying to get my yaris( no mods at this point) to go faster than 115mph, and on video. Never made it, got too dark, just came out of the mountains going back into CA, heading down hill in Neutral. Cop nailed me on the radar at 80, finally caught up with me while i was still rolling down the hill at 90. He was cool, gave me a 70+ in a 65 zone. The sad part is that not even 2 miles down the road the maximum speed went back up to 70. $175 ticket.

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.

u were clocked by a airplane?!

I thought the yaris had a cloaking device to highway police. But if you do get a ticket, just ask the judge if he thinks a yaris can go that fast!? Most likely he'll think not.

65 in a 45 zone, on empty backwoods road. It was my mistake, it went from 55 to 45 for a mile or so, then back to 55, but I did not slow down. Sherrif's deputy had a car equipped with radar unit, though I could have sworn I was going less than 60. Thing that pissed me off about was that when I said I did not realize I was going that fast, he gave me a ticket! Said he GOING to give me a warning, but they are required to ticket whenever the driver "disputes" what the officer says

since ive been driving (almost 3 years now) i have gotten pulled over 8 times for various things (speeding ,running stop signs) and all those times ive gotten warnings....lucky me

[death is my gift]

i told my girlfriend this the other day:
i'm going to get a ticket. the questions isn't "if", the question is "when." i speed ALL the time. i do it carefully, i'm not in and out of lanes, i just like to drive fast. i'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

picture this, i'm first at a red light when another car pulls up. they see me in this little red fire rocket so of course they challenge me. and of course i accept. while i hit 50 into 35 and look into my rear view mirror at them, i can't help but laugh and think, "jessa, you're gonna get a ticket one day."

How does airplane clocking work, anyone know? With standard radar and laser, the cops need to be in front or behind you. The further off to the side they are, the slower your speed will show due to "cosign error", so they need to be in your direct path, or as close to it as possible for an accurate reading. How the heck do they do it from above you???

I am afraid to speed in my yaris with the stock suspension. I might fly off in too the stratosphere and bounce off a SR-71. Actually as I get older I really am not in that much of a hurry to get anywhere.

You are timed between two fixed points and not radar, or laser.

well see how court goes how do they expect ppl to put food on the table pay bill and tickets if you cant drive to work?

[YarisPR]

I haven't got a ticket since I got my license. But as someone said I do find myself speeding on the Yaris more often then in my previous cars. Someone ever wonder why???

I just really don't wanna get a ticket here. Cops allow a 10mph over the limit most of the time. But Its $50 for goin over the limit plus $5 for every mph over the lmit so thats always $100 speeding ticket.

[blacksan]

I can honestly say that every time I got nailed I deserved it.

[d2dailly]

got pulled over doing 61 in a 25 passing over a double yellow no licensplate in the front and a tinted cover over the rear license plate exhaust too loud and the cop let me go... i love being a volunteer emt cops love us :)

A stoopid Did You know (I know this does not applie to you but...)

1st and 2nd offence of under 10mph in the wonderfull state of Ohio have no point penalties attached to them... only fines

[nsmitchell]

87 in a 55! $350.00 fine + court costs and lawyer = $915.00 OUCH! I had a great lawyer because I though I was headed for a few days in jail.
