speeding tickets and such

[Carr]

ok. I have a question: When you get pulled over for speeding and the officer lets you off, they give you the ticket, right?

I was speeding really nasty and I think I cut someone off AND I forgot my lisense *doublecringe* and the police officer just let me go....I don't know if I am being paranoid or what, but they can't just send a ticket in the mail, right?

If they just give you a warning, no ticket.

[color=green]If he didn't actually hand you a ticket and make you sign it and give you a court date then you should thank your lucky stars, because you got off scott-free. You will be hearing nothing else from them on this traffic infringement...lucky.[/color]

Thank you, Jesus, my Lord and savior!


I was truly worried!

Wow that cop must've had a really nice day to let someone off with that list of offenses.

Wow, I would have totally had you arrested. Speeding, cutting people off and forgetting your licences.... thats three strikes right there...

You should learn to drive... everyone speeds, you just gotta know when to slow down and where not to speed... and don't cut people off... turn your damn signal on and if you don't do that, turn in when you have enough room... and well.... you should never forget your licence.

Dear god man! Pray they don't lol j/k

Most likly you have no reason to worry. ibut did the officer take points off?

[Carr]

I have no Idea. I was really expecting a ticket. I usually do not drive like that at all. I was really frazzled, and yeah, I know that's not an excuse....

Yeah, I've gotten a warning before, too.
I got on to the highway, (speed limit: 65) and stayed on for about a mile w/ my windows down the whole time. As far as I could tell, I was being particularly careful about my speed (I truly think I never got up to 70.) b/c my 4 year old brother was sitting in the passenger's seat. I had gotten off the highway on to a major street, pulled on to another vaguely busy street and on to a residential before I realized that a [I]black[/I] police car was following me w/ his lights on but not his siren. I pulled over scared stiff. (I truly thought that I was going to die the minute I got home and my mother found out.) The officer told me I had been going [I]79[/I] on the highway!! Yet, he gave me warning and didn't show me the radar. I was too scared to say anything at the time other than, " Wow, I really thought I was only going 65!" I got home and told my mom, and she thought it was a load of ****, and I began to too. With my windows down, I should have been able to tell I was goin' that fast. Plus, my speedometer only goes up to 85. Here's the kicker: I drive a '85 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Those things are [I]not[/I] that smooth! There's no way I could have driven at 79 and not realize it. He just wanted to get someone for speeding and [I]clearly[/I] got the wrong person. (I think he clocked some else, and just picked out me instead. *grrrr*)
This isn't to say I don't respect police officers b/c I do. I think they're definitely underrated in today's society. I just wish the guy hadn't put a warning I didn't deserve on to my record.
Oh well. :rolleyes:

[Xyandar]

I drive an oldsmobile Cutlass also lol and yes they dont run too smooth. That cop was pretty dumb if he didnt actually show the proof of the speed you were going. Cops these days*shakes head*

:laugh: Thanks for the tips, Baron Samedi! I'll be sure to use them! I do appreciate cops and everything they do; I just wasn't too pleased with the one who gave me that warning.
Hey, Xyandar, what color is your Cutlass? Mine's this hideous gray-brown. The only good thing about it is the seats. (It feels like sitting on a couch!)
