Got my first speeding ticket... ouch!

[Zonechamp]

A kids on a sport bike was arrested last year in Alberta for going 263km/hr on 100km/hr highway and the ticket was $12,000. A $300 ticket is minor here. A photo radar ticket is about the cheapest and mine was $85 for being 11km over the limit.

I was riding on the freeway (speed limit 75 mph) and decided to open it up so i was running real fast and was gaining on the traffic so i closed the throttle and then i seen the lights so like you "know how fast you were going" i was thinking 125 but i didn't say it then he said its probably hard to read the speedo at 107.
i was relieved thinking i am probably not going to jail. i told him i was taking the devil for a ride he said he could make this a criminal offence but he didn't and i am not sure he may have given me a break on the speed. because i am 69 years old he sparred me the lecture i guess he figured it was a waste of time.
driving school at $240 but the worst is going the speed limit is just plain boring.

Good on ya, TURBO!!!
Nice to know I not be the only old geezer that still likes to run FAST!!!

Twas heading north on 191 years ago close to the UT border on the way to Moab.
Thunder storm was about to hit so I greased it trying to out run the rain. Slowed some for an approaching SUV.
It was a copper. Pinched for 135mph. Better than the 155 I was originally going.
Worst thing was after talking with the copper, I got caught in heavy rain and drenched.

I would think that a motor going over the ton, ridden by someone 69 years should deserve some d@mn credit = SLACK!!!

My worst was in Arkansas driving a semi, pulling a 16' X 80' mobile home. The nice officer asked why i was in such a hurry and I explained about being stuck in traffic 4 hrs and was behind schedule and was gonna be out after dark or going fast. I couldnt believe he let me go. speed limit for oversize loads was 45mph, he got me at 86mph at the top of one of the hills on I-540. Fines for commercial vehicle speeding at the time was 50$ per mph over speed limit. He was shaking his head as he walked past my pilot car/wife. Told her he didnt know where to start writing that ticket so he would just let us go. I would still be happy to buy him dinner!!!!!

Caught me up in Far North Queensland , on my way up to Darwin .. I was doing a tad over the speed limit .. stupid cop asked the usual .. "any reason why you were exceeding the posted speed limit sir" .. seems "nice day, nice bike and a nice road" was not the answer he was looking for

Know a bloke that was driving his car in NSW while arguing with his wife and got pulled over by the cops for speeding.
The copper requested he exit the vehicle and asked him where he was from.
He replied he was from Qld.
The copper said he had the worst sexual experience of his life in Qld and promptly wrote out a speeding ticket.
After he got back into the vehicle his wife asked him "what did he say"?
The bloke said "he thinks he knows you"!

Woman I know pulled over for speeding. The cop was discussing the matter with her. Husband in the passenger seat was saying - loudly - Go on, book her, book her. She's always nagging me about it! Book her!!

Cop said... Lady you got enough problems... and let her off....

 

[ruzzle]

Not quite on the same theme, but....

On a tourist bus near Queenstown in NZ... stopped for a break at roadside place... moved off again... couple of miles down the road a car passed the bus and then waved it down to a stop. Bloke emerges from back seat of car, gets on bus, sits down next to wife... who had not bothered to tell the driver her husband was missing.....

I like your cute little $300 fines. In NSW the top tier fines are enough to keep the cops' donut cupboard full for a week or 2.

Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?

Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.

Woman: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your license please?

Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.

Officer: Don't have one?

Woman: Lost it 4 times for drunk driving.

Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.

Woman: I can't do that.

Officer: Why not?

Woman: I stole this car.

Officer: Stole it?

Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.

Officer: You what?

Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.

The Officer looks at the woman, slowly backs away to his car, and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle
please!

The woman steps out of her vehicle.

Woman: Is there a problem sir?

Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Woman: Murdered the owner?

Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.

The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?

Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.

The first officer is stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer snaps open the clutch purse and examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.

Woman: Betcha the lying bastard told you I was speeding too.
