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.

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!

Well if its a matter of going so fast that they will take your licence at least, not much to loose by outrunning them then.... |
What you need is a fast car, like a M5 for instance (link)
But the owner of the car (license holder) got a ticket of 4000 Euros :shock:
Still if you own such a car thats peanuts

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

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...

No current or former police officer in this blog mentioned that how you measure job effectiveness of an officer...well, it is by writting tickets. Officer works on 'Stats' which are kind of like quotas that they have to work on for the month, and they have to meet close to that requirement (usually about 80% or more) or there will be trouble from their Captains for not doing their job.

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.

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 ).
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.
