Not proud of it, but I was "young and stupid". Explaining it to the insurance company was "fun"... ... ...lets just say come renewal time they were not pleased.SD_SC1 wrote:Pfft! I've had more expensive years.Stannic wrote:4 in total:
June 2000 (Ontario) - Speeding - 144 KPH in an 80 (reduced to 129 in an 80)
August 2000 (Alberta) - Fail to stop - Stop sign
October 2000 (Alberta) - Fail to wear seatbelt
October 2000 (Alberta) - Speeding 71 KPH in a 50.
The year 2000 was an expensive lesson for me.

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.
Just last week, I was followed all the way to my house in the parking lot. Stoped me for having a burned out headlight. I didnt expect a ticket but I sure ran my ass to Canadian tire the next morning so I wouldnt be pushing my luck!

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.........

Proud to be a jail guard. Don't like it? Get over yourself .
Me neither. Even I don't get stopped for doing 7 over.dusty wrote:There must be more to it than that. I've never heard of anyone getting ticketed for 7 km/h over.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.

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.SD_SC1 wrote:Me neither.

Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow"

Re: Traffic Tickets
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.
