Well, I lost. I don't recommend speeding around these vehicles because they make you stop, and give you little yellow paper that says you're a bad boy. Then when your insurance hears about this, they financially "spank" you. All in all, my first ticket was a yucky experience to add to my not so good day. Although, I must say, the cop was very very polite and wasn't picking on me because I'm a kid, but rather becaues I was going 57 in a 40 zone on Muirlands at 6 am. He even wrote me up for going 57 in a 45, not a 40. eh, still sucks.

Okay. I made it home safely this morning, without any cops.

I'm still a little scared, though.

Its in California, the cops there are transitioning over from Kawasakis to BMWs, the bike cops here in Vegas Run Road Kings.

I hear the BMWs are quite a bike, ABS, Boxer engine.... much nicer then the Kawasakies they use to drive.

^^ That's cuz most insurance companies allow you one point on your record. In fact, i have only 1 point and im still under the safe driver discount. Any speed between 10 and 19 mph over the speed limit is one point, 20 and up is 2 points.

^^ He was doing almost 30 mph over the speed limit. Zzyzx, I guess your right. In the south, harley is what the cops ride on.

Im sorry to say this but ive been pulled over 4 times and have no tickets. 1st time i was maybe 5-10 over the speed limit. 2nd same. 3rd time i squealed my tires pulling out of a mall and got a warning to not accellerate so fast. the last time i saw a car flying by me (35mph zone) and i sped up cause i wanted a race at the light which was like 500 feet ahead. got up to 65 and red and blue lights turned on moments later. *oops* stupid pig sped up with me so i never thought it was a cop till it was too late. Why would he wait till i slowed back down to 40 to turn the lights on, though?

Anyway, I was 17 when all of those happened. And thank god for hacking cause if anyone knows anything about hacking then they know that it's 60% social engineering. so luckily i still could, i talked my way out of all four tickets.

Yeah i have been pulled over twice and i hav gotten two written warnings and thats it. One was where i was going 84 in a 55 in my moms mini van at like 11 at night. I told the cop i was coming home from my gfs house and that i had to get home before 12. The second was when i was tailed by a cop in a blazer for like 4 miles. He said i had been going 20 over on three different roads. I got a warning and that was it. I am one lucky sonof a bitch.

I'm turning 18 on Monday. Then again, I live in Cali, where the police are infatuated with using their power.

Man I got pulled over twice in like 3 days last week by the local university rent-a-cops.

The second time I was coming from a bar and they took me in the cop car with 3 cops trying to smell booze off me.
