Got pulled over again tonite for cripes sake, 15 years and nothing, now 2 times in 3 days. Welp this time for speeding though, son of a gun got me good, 72mph in a 65. I quit.

 

Sorry to hear about your bad luck I went to court this morning for an 80 in 45, cost me 6pts and $1000 [sm=boohoo.gif]( I've had a few tickets in the past) Yours doesn't even sound too bad 7 over, hear thats like a 2pt ticket? Don't let it get you down

 

Poor bugger, the hip pocket nerve always hurts the most. Be carefull though, things always seem to happen in three's. I went out a little while ago and spotted bike pulled over by an unmarked police car. Cop was not wearing his cap, so I assume he was only giving a lecture to the rider. Least I know wot the suckers driving, as it was the local cop. Anyway just take it easy for a tad.

 

72 in a 65?? You have to be kidding. I know I am one who always says that get caught speeding and it's your stupid fault, but cops around here won't pull anyone over unless you are going faster than that. Only reason I can think of to get puled over here for that speed is if you were weaving between lanes/cars and using your signals. In that case, it would be unsafe, but legal and they would clip you for speeding.

I wonder if anyone has ever gotten hit for a low over the limit ticket and actually looked to see if the cops write more tickets for bikes (averages per capita) than they do cars?

 

Man, that is crazy! You're barely over the limit. Sorry about the ticket.

 

I talked to a few cops from around here, one said that he'd wait to pull me over until I was 14 or more over the speed limit!!! I can ushually safely do ten over and have no problems. That sucks man, 7 over... rough.

 

yeah never around here would you get slammed for under 10. once in either NH or Mass a coworker in a a car got it for 3 over.

 

9 mph over is what I've been told by cops in Nebraska, thats when they start pulling people over.

 

Yeah I heard it was 7 here in Georgia (at least on the Highway probably 14 around town).

TK you know this same thing happened to me a while back I just parked the bike for a week and let the spell wear off before I went back out again. Be careful getting too many tickets within 6 months can jack up your insurance. I know the first one was total BS, but you can't really argue with speeding violations.

Just be careful out there, that's all I'm sayin

 

Don't give us all a bad name here in Wisco. Cops around here are like that too. Even a few over will get ya in the GB area.
