Lucky break

[bobbyf6b]

I got a huge slap on the wrist today. I could have went to jail but somehow I dodged that bullet. I was on my way home and the freeway opened up about a mile from my exit. I floored it and got up to XXX mph and when I turned the corner I saw a black unmarked Ford Expedition behind me.

I got pulled over. He didn't get an accurate read on my speed but he knew I was going fast. Since I was honest with him he (to my surprise) wrote me a warning. Nice guy but I know that's not gonna happen again. (getting a break)

I learned something new, criminal speeding in Arizona is 86 mph! I had no idea. Gonna have to keep it under 85 from now on.

Glad you lucked out, Bobby! I don't suppose pulling the "Excuse me, Officer.....Do you know who I am?" would have worked any better?!

Being a former LEO attitude and cooperation goes a long way in getting a break...If people I pulled over admitted the violation and seemed remorseful I almost always gave them a break and the ones who had attitude always got a citation...

[hgslayr]

And " Do you know who I am" always got tickets....lol

Hoovers have the dirtbag inside, the Harley's have the dirtbag on the outside. Oldie but goodie. When the officer has you, he has you, no sense in looking like a bigger azz. Admit idiocy, hope for a break and move on. I've always admitted my mistake and more than not they seem cool with it. Plus I am a very dashing looking man, so shooter gets the tickets.

Here in Calf. it is 101 mph and at the LEO's discretion they can take you to the gray bar hotel and impound your scoot right there, also mandatory, you must show up in court, no "just paying the bail". Fine can be $500 and a 6 month hotel stay if the judge don't like you.
Get caught under 101 mph and it is just breaking the basic speed limit with a no show ticket if ya just want to pay, and you do pay big even for that.
Now if ya break your tire loose or pop a wheel up then you can get a "reckless driving" charge and that is a whole different ball game.

I had a friend who passed a cop at 130. He didn't know it was a cop until it was too late. He simply pulled over and waited for the cop to get there. The cop let him off with a warning because he didn't have to chase him. LOL
