Speeding Tickets
 
Ok so ive had my car for about three weeks now and i drive it the same speed i drove my VW and i got 1 speeding ticket in 4 years with that car, in the three weeks ive had this one ive already got two :banghead: , How many do some of u long time owners have :uhh: my cousin who is a cop said the car screams pull me over especially with a 20 year old driving it

NgoRX8 09-11-2008 02:42 PM

the car does have something to do with it. plus what color was ur vw?

red cars stand out. if you don't want tickets, don't break the law and don't stand out.

RXLogic 09-11-2008 02:47 PM

Grey car, grey hair, limit+14, 4 years, 0 tickets

Socket7 09-11-2008 02:52 PM

Velocity red.
Long hair,
23 years old.

No tickets.

Perhaps you should try slowing down? I always make sure at least one person is driving faster then me on the highway.

26 years, black. One speeding ticket. Stupidest thing - running on fumes, saw a gas station ahead so i sped up incase i ran out so i could coast in.

Got clocked within 1/8 mile of the gas station... BAH

LOL at bvisser :) Sorry, couldn't resist!

I've had my car for almost two weeks, velocity red, and I am PARANOID about getting pulled over, only partly because my 20-year-old daughter bet that I'd have a ticket my first week. I'm trying to be very, very good... plus maybe they'll leave me alone since I'm 45+... ?

I've had mine a little over 2 years with no tickets (knock wood).
I don't baby it either, I try to redline every day.
Of course I'm 40 years old too, I'm sure that has something to do with it.

CompMan 09-11-2008 07:12 PM

18yrs old
1 Ticket for No front license plate
and a ticket for going through a red light, even though it was yellow when I saw it.

But I never got a speeding ticket.

JDM 4 Lyfe 09-11-2008 09:37 PM

1 ticket
 
Im 20 and I have galaxy grey and i got a 105 in a 65 but I was being stupid lol..

ILoveFI 09-11-2008 09:41 PM

18 in a BB w/ black stockers. I got one ticket for supposedly doing ~70 in a 45 in the middle of the day in traffic on the golden gate bridge, which the officer said it was then 64, then took that to court and got it thrown out. Just watch your foot and you'll be fine.

DrewMan 09-11-2008 09:53 PM

24 years old
2 years of owning the car
2 tickets (both from speed cameras :S)

My thoughts exactly!

I've had my baby 2 years, and have had 2 tickets both for speeding. One...115 in 60 mph slow zone on the interstate....Told the cop that I had a SUV hugging my ass for 20 miles and passenger corroborated it. Actually true, guy pulled off the exit the cop pulled on to get my ass! Dropped to 94, to save me HUGE fine and jail and impound charges. Second one 70 in 55, Sunday morning, no traffic on four lane highway....DAMN BORED trooper.

RotaryP7 09-12-2008 12:32 AM

I'm 21. I drive a VR 8 as well. I've gotten looks and been tailgated by many cop cars. Doesn't really bother me..

Gotten pulled over 3 times. Only 1 ticket.

75 in a 55.. (busted)

Running the red light.. (when it barely hit red, cop lets me off)

38 in a 15 school zone.. (cop gave me a chance ;))

And yes, like someone in this thread said.. Never be the fastest guy on road or highway. Oh and get a radar detector. And drive safe too..

rddragoness 09-12-2008 12:42 AM

Had a cop pull me over because he got a call from another driver saying there was a "red dragon" dancing down a five lane interstate. My tag says "RDDRAGN"....:lol: I was in a good mood, sort of doing S curvy's in my lane to the beat of the music, very light traffic..... When they heard the song, after making me do the breath thingy they laughed and told me to take it elsewhere. ;)

fastlaneracing 09-12-2008 12:45 AM

28 years old
VR had it for soon 2 years, 0 tickets.

Pulled over once.

I redline it everytime I drive it.

My Honda Civic Type-R did attract alot more cops then my RX-8.

Got pulled over like 20 times in 1,5 year I had that car, 0 tickets. hehe

Drive smart and do not admitt anyting ;-)
