+/- 32 hours

I finalized the deal saturday at about 1:00 pm and was pulled over Sunday night about 9:30 doing 120 mph.

This was the first tinme I had ever been pulled over; mostly because I had never had more than 110 hp under the hood.

No ticket though, the cop said that he could not get an accurate reading on my actual speed due to traffic in his way.

Not so lucky the second time I was pulled over about four months later. The cop was nice and wrote me down for 109 mph. I thought it would be worse: $340 fine.

Too bad he didnt give you a reckless ticket and impound your car, you obviously aren't too smart and didnt learn your lesson the first time

I've had my car for 332 days. No tickets yet. Probably because it looks and sounds stock. And I am not hitting triple-digit speeds.

2 days after getting my car back in 02 a chp decides to pull me over for "No plates." Walks up to my window and askes, "where are your plates?"

Me, "how can I have plates if I got the car two days ago? See, look at the temp tag in the window."

Him, "Oh, I see, have a nice day."

Me, "Thanks for harassing me!"

Him, dirty look.

i got pulled over was because i accidently cut off the cop.

its on a 2 lane street, and i was on the left lane, i saw the cop far away and was on the right lane. i was behind this other car, and that car was turning left, so waiting for the coming traffic to pass. so i turn signal and change to right lane, right when i did that, i saw my mirror that the cop was doing the same thing and i got infront of him. so then he pulled me over, and said i was speeding and changed lane with out signal. but he just mad because i cut him off. i talked to him nicely and i got out the ticket

4 months for an illegal left turn

I was in the left turn lane...light turned green....waited 4-5 seconds...guy across the intersection didnt even start to move and no one else was coming, so I turned....cop said I had to wait till he went. I looked it up later and you just have to wait till its reasonably safe but I couldnt risk fighting it

CHP thought I was speeding.
Must've been someone else.
No ticket, no warning.

What is your reason for the poll?
