Talking your way out of a ticket?
 

it's a myth...once you get booked, its over...

^ .. yep

i got a ticket yesterday ... cuz i followed what everyone else was doing but i got just too lucky :roll: .....
i got a ticket of 5USD aahaha :D ... :mrgreen:

Ask graywolf about talking your wait out of handcuffs in the back seat of a Houston Police car... it can be done.. even after the wrecker arrives to tow your car away ;)

In my long history of getting pulled over by the cops, the one time I handed a PBA card along with my license and registration I still got a ticket.

The only difference was I didn't get any bullshit power tripping talk from the cop. He just handed back my license along with the ticket and walked back to his car.

Professional Bowling association? ^^

Police Benevolent Association.

heh, I don't think I've ever bowled above 110.

That sounds very interesting! :shock:

I'd like to see this in Holland though, they will throw you in jail anyway since they can arrest you and put you in jail for 6 hours for doing nothing! :o :|

What you need is a fast car, like a M5 for instance (link) :wink:


But the owner of the car (license holder) got a ticket of 4000 Euros :shock:

Still if you own such a car thats peanuts :lol:

He hardly went over 130mph anywhere - what kind of "getaway" is that? :P

so what's the handcuff story?

;) Its a trick I'll never forget, learned from the master.

I once talked a ticket down from 50 over to 5... but not quite out...

Oh, that explains why there were lines of cars pulled over for random breath testing the other day.

I prefer to obey laws, and thus avoid getting pulled over. Useful info, though.

^so y design cars that easily go over 100mph, when the max speed limit is 65?

we're meant to break it...

I recently talked my way out of being fined when caught doing 170 on the freeway (100 limit) side-to-side with another car (some call it racing :P ).

Got pulled over (cops had headlights off so I didn't see them approaching from behind until the red/blue flashing) and was told my car would be impounded and I'd lose my license.

After doing the sob story and saying I had a relatively clean record in 6 yrs of driving he told me it was my lucky night and he'd let me go - got a mark agianst my name but no fine or anything).

The fact it was midnight probably meant he couldn't be bothered sitting around waiting for the towie and then doing the paperwork.

Lucky me I suppose. :D

i've only talked my way out of a speeding ticket once. and it wasn't so much talking as it was being cool with the cop. He had to give me something so instead of a 54 in a 35 he gave me a $25 no seatbelt ticket which didn't count as a moving violation.

Motorcycle cops however, you're better off just to sit there with your mouth shut because no matter how nice you are, you're getting a damn ticket :? Fortunately the 58 in a 40 didn't show up when my insurance co. ran my WA license :D

did they pace you or use radar?

Radar both times

What the heck???? GRAYWOLF!!! Where are you and what's the story???

Not in built-up areas. And I seriously doubt that the car I drive is capable of safely going too much faster than the speed limit.

And dingo? I figured yours woul dbe radar, although some US areas do use "pacing" from the ground and or air ;)

I've talked my way out of tickets the last two times I've been pulled over. I was shot with laser the 2nd time, and paced the 1st time. Knock on wood I havnt been pulled over in over a year or so, I'm trying to calm my right foot and be more careful.

If your a nice to the cop and show alot of respect towards them it helps. For the most part it seems like they make up their mind about whether to write you a ticket when they talk to you, but sometimes they know they are going to write you a ticket even before they talk to you, and at that point, you are screwed.

Im here... but the names and story are obscured to protect the guilty (rc...;))

y bring it up if u'r not gonna tell it

I know this story LOL

The story is this, RC may have been in the back of the squad car, then he was let off when Gray was there :P

I've never had a speeding ticket; but I've been pulled over for driving with suspision of drug trafficing (i had a gheto car in a nicer city)

:? Kinda stupid article, doesn't bring anything new to my knowledge.. Aren't these 'facts' things we were all born knowing? ;)

You would be really, really suprised how stupid some people are. It may be common sense for some, but it may be the biggest thing sense the wheel for others :roll:

And the wrecker may or may not have been inspecting how to get his car on the back while Rc tried on his new handcuff accessories. I may have been in the passenger seat at this time.

Yea, that's the jist of it. I've been pulled over once before (illegal left turn . . . that I didn't know about) and the cop let me off with a warning. There are some good ways to mess with cops while pulled over but I don't think I'd want to risk further penalties.

That's pretty weird, and rather extreme. :shock:

what a shit story

LOL yeah but come on, playing dumb and being extra polite? :P
