Traffic Tickets

[SPC]

Nobody even bats an eyelash for 7kph over. What's the real story??

[Lavics79]

no no..im being serious. The ticket was only $50. I had it on cruise for a 100km/h and was going up the hill while he was traveling opposite direction and clocked me.

And seriously, I wouldnt be saying bs, I have nothing to gain really. Just telling you guys what happened.

There are all kinds out there....never say never.

Once, I was driving the Toronto to Cambridge 401 and came up behind an OPP cruiser in the right lane going less than 100km/hour on a clear, dry road.

I moved over to the middle lane and passed him being cognizant of my speed on my digital speedometer. I never broke 105km/hour and it took me a few seconds or so to pass the cruiser.

When I just cleared the cruiser's front end, the officer slid in behind me and turned on his lights.

After I pulled over, the officer (Sgt.) asked me why I felt it necessary to pass him when he was doing the speed limit.

It must have been a fishing expedition because, after checking my paperwork in his car for a few minutes, he returned to my window and, without saying a word, handed me my license, etc., returned to his vehicle and drove off.

No ticket, no small talk, no nothing.

Strange.........

I`ve learned my lesson. 9 years ago got stoped for doing 97 on a 90 at 2am. I knew I was at fault and he was doing his job. So I was polite and took it and paid for it.

There must be more to it than that. I've never heard of anyone getting ticketed for 7 km/h over.

Me neither. Even I don't get stopped for doing 7 over.

Maybe the officer was rather bitter that night and decided to have a zero tolerance for speeding. Or maybe he wanted to check to make he wasn't intoxicated, but he got some attitude in return and decided to get the pen out.

Not really. People say I have a temper of a fly. I deal with it and move on. No harm done.

I have a temper of a fly

Maybe a "horse fly" those bastards hurt when they bite

These things take out a chunk of your skin..not the best feeling.

Got my second ticket ever today. Got me at 81 in a 50 zone. Reduced to 55 for $27.50 and no points. Right around the corner from home and I hadn't done more then 10 over most of the drive. No excuse and I said as much. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Cheers to that guy for doing me a solid. Paid the thing ten minutes later online.

Oh, and howdy to all the people on here I haven't talked to in a few months.

[Respond Wayne]

Yeah, a few months at least Mr. Lead-foot!

[veritas_aequitas]

And you got promoted or some such thing. Who came up with that idea?

Has it been THAT long!?!

Yeah, that is so April's news... I just clean up some of the mess around here, do the odd lock when CO is away and opp2 is falling off her monkey bars...

WTF? They reduced that for you? 81 in a 50 zone is way too fast. I guess I can't complain, though, considering I've received a few big breaks myself.
