Absolutely mortified! (Speeding warning)

Gosh--I almost wish the cop had tried to flirt with me; it would've made me feel better!!! But I hadn't even put any makeup on, just thrown some old clothes on....UGH! Serves me right; I should follow my own advice and always put makeup on whenever going anywhere!

I think I was just numb, and I just shook my head and said "oops."

Then I realized that I had thrown away the WRONG insurance card--I had just picked the one that said "March--Sept" but it was for 2005!

He police officer (Now that I think about it; he WAS cute!) said that all of these would normally be around $500 fine....*sigh*

Just a miserable beginning to a miserable day....un

Thank y'all for your support!

Yes toungue in cheek, I always yes sir/ no sir and tell the truth. I drive truck for a living, and got pulled over for 65 in a 35 at the bottom of a big hill. The officer asked why i didn't have on CB all the trucks were announcing that he was in bank at bottom of hill. I told him I dont turn it on unless I am running with someone i know, because I get sick of hearing how my mom is turning tricks at the truck stop for 5 bucks a pop. He just got this look on his face and said yeah there is a lot of that on the CB, started laughing and said to enjoy the rest of my night and let me go. I think I made his day, and he made mine by not writing that ticket.

I do agree watch speeds when out of state I got pulled out of a line in WV there was about 10 cars alll going same speed the three behind me had WV plates, when questioned he said that he thought I was faster than the others, all had been in a line for about 10 minutes

lol, i may have a lead foot from time to time but i'm not that dumb

actually, my brother is a cop and a good friend's hubby is a cop too. i keep my hands ON the steering wheel and i'm very friendly and cordial. sometimes i get a ticket, sometimes i don't. i used to have a PBA card from my brother but he doesn't give them to me anymore.

i did explain to the last cop that i was late for willie, after the fact i realized i was lucky he didn't search my car looking for any herb.

i also used to spend the day in court too (they would always get thrown out) but now i just say to myself "well they caught me fair and square, might as well pay up".

i have absolutely no ill will against cops, they're just doing their jobs.

Watch out if you ever drive through Wisconson, the cops are set up to take credit card at the scene. Or so I've heard

Ohio use to do the same

I was returning from town a few hours ago and I went over the freeway on a bridge where a state police officer was radar gunning people on the freeway. He then radios ahead to another police officer on the freeway and you guess it - pulls the speeders over and hands them a ticket. That is pretty common in Michigan.

If you get a ticket this way, I was told to refuse to sign it because the person actually running the radar has to sign the ticket, luckily I never got the chance to try this theory out, and hopefully wont, but would like to find out if it is true, I'm sure the original would come sign the ticket but gaurantee there would be no leaniency given, just a thought.

Did y'all know that a cop does not even have to use a radar to give you a ticket and say you were speeding! They can just say that you LOOKED like you were going over the limit and that's good enough for the courts. At least that's how it is here.

did you know that having Ohio plates on a vehicle that gets hit from behind is reason enough to be deemed guilty in the "SOUTH"
