    Only one ticket... CHP as well. Got it for 'unsafe passing' even though there was plenty of room IMO and the center line (2 lane highway, passed a car doing 42 in a 55) was dashed where I passed. Super lame ticket, and my only one ever. The guy seemed fairly courteous, but I think he coulda let me off with a warning?

    All in all the worst was the STi, I breathe wrong and I got pulled over in that car. I loved it and miss it now but I would rather not be pulled over for driving, in my Tacoma they dont bother me even at 15 over... Go figure.

I was on the way to firefighter training, in uniform, with about 3 law enforcement magnets and law enforcement memorial license plates. I tried to be as respectful as possible and all this combined (I think) is why he let me off with a warning. I want to go into law enforcement and luckily I was not given a ticket for it.

    I also received an Unsafe passing from the CHP. I was avoiding an accident, but that did not seem to matter. I asked the cop if I should have just plowed into the car in front of me, and he did not respond at all. I called him a douchebag to his face and he just walked away. My friend who is a cop said he probably didnt hear me, but I think he did. Made me wonder about CHP officers.

    0 so far .... its really easy to speed in PA because local cops cant use radar so they have to set down painted strips and time you between them and find your speed, or set down speed strips, so when ever i see one, i just slow down hahahaha. need to get a 9500X one day though. Ill probably get one soon hahaha.

    I don't get it. Loud exhaust is probable cause for a search? Or did you consent to the search? And excuse me for being a performance noob, but what would they have found if they towed it?

    I've been pulled over 3 times... twice in the taco once in my Mom's MDX.

    First time was in the taco... Me and a buddy were leaving a bar where we had dinner with my family. I just turned my marker lights on to back out to not blind anyone inside and forgot to flip on the headlights (well lit area, didn't notice) It was understandable but the lady was a total bitch. She tried to give me a seatbelt ticket because I took it off to grab the insurance and stuff (I have since learned to just stay put and keep my hands visible) but talked her out of it.

    Second one I blew through a red light on my way to school and my buddy was stopped in the other lane at the light so I flipped him a friendly bird on the way by... Well my buddy drives an old blue crown vic and it wasn't my buddy at all. Got pulled over right in front of school and took shit for that all day... but the guy was a detective or something and wasn't really interested in writing a ticket and I got him to laugh at my mistake and let me off.

    The ticket was for speeding... a road went from 30 to 25 at a cross street and I didn't know that... went by him at 30 (which is really about 33-34 with my tires) and he didn't pull out till I was at the next intersection, so naturally being young and cocky I decided I could lose him in a neighborhood so as soon as I got out of his sight I took off and started dodging around. He caught me and said my original ticket would've been for 33 in a 25 but got me for like 47 or something. $250 and traffic school for that one...

    FORGOT ONE... in the MDX. Apparently the parking lot in front of city hall is a 1-way. Learned that the hard way but got a written warning.

    Been pulled over 14 times I think. Got 2 tickets, one sheriff, and one NHP. Sheriff was 53 in a 45. I got out of it because I knew the judge, he deffered it for 6 moths, gotta love small towns. The other I paid, he got me at 93 in a 70, and I WAS doing 115, before I let off. As I said "I should slow down, I really dont need a ticket." Whoops. I look really young for my age, so when I was 16 I got pulled over a lot, for them just to check to see if I was actually of age. Been busted for 121 in a 55 while I was stomping the crap out of a POS scion tc with my WRX, but the cop let us off with a warning after yelling at us for about a half hour about how stupid we were. Other little stuff, no taillights(corroded wires) expired reg.(forgot to put the new sticker on). I have had my CCW get me out of a couple of the tickets. One sheriff(same small town) got me for speeding, 55 in a 45, actually wanted to see my Kimber 1911, and we BS'ed about guns on the side of the highway for about 15 minutes and he let me go. Side story, me and 5 buddies were cruising around town in one of them's golf cart at about 2 am(completely sober) We got pulled over twice, first sheriff we knew, he told us to be careful. Second one was a newb(same one that got me for the 121) and was nice, but not as nice as our buddy. When he called it into dispatch he said "blue yamaha golf cart, white trim, occupied times 5" dispatch came back and said, "golf cart? times 5? seriously?" He made us all walk home. That was the same night I was busted for the 121. I got pulled over one more time that night just so the only other on duty officer could say they all pulled us over that night. I then raced him and smoked his hemi durango to about 60 in a 25. He told me if I did it again I was going to jail. So we gave up on the night.
