I got pulled over the other day by Roswell for not using my turn signal. :D

I was at a T intersection in the left turn lane. The left turn arrow came on and I went. He was a few cars back and pulled me over.

He let me off with a warning, but chewed my *** about it. Frikken *****.

I told him that I never changed lanes. My lane of travel as I approached the intersection became the turn lane. I went from that lane into the same lane on the other road under a green arrow.

Frikken *****.

In my 8 I am proud to say I have 0 tickets so far (bought it at the end of February).

Highest speed attained on a ticket: 115 mph in a 55 on 495 (Maryland side). It was a $495 pre-payable fine. Funny thing about it was that even though the cop knew how fast I was going he tried to pull me over by standing in my lane and pointing at me.

You have no reason to complain. You admitted guilt in your statement. You failed to indicate a change of direction/lane change and made a turn without using your direction signal. This is punishable in ALL states. Once you merged into the turn lane you were required to signal your intentions.

I've been pulled over twice. 45 in a 35 and 67 in a 50. Warnings both times. Both cops wanted to know how I liked the car. Lots of guys want more power with this car, but coming from an 85hp Saturn, this car is plenty fast!

Thanks Rotary Nut! Regardless of guilt or no guilt, my point was that the cop was looking for something to do. At no time were my actions unsafe or endangering to other vehicles.

Don't hurt your ankle when you step down from your high horse!

Hey bro just messin with ya. Nothing I can't stand than a cop with too much time on his hands! It's good that he gave ya a warning.

Chrisbert

Cool beans. What really set me off was this cop's attitude straight away. First words were "do the blinkers work in that fancy thing?". Oh well.

Citation to appear in court for doing 73 in a 55, and my damn radar detector never went off. I think it's a scam, the officer came up and asked me for my license and registration, then nelt down and said I pulled you because you were in a little bit of a hurry. Then comes abck with a citation saying I was doing 73. But I had to read the citation to find that out, he nver told me how fast I was going. I should have said something when I realized that the officer seemed kind of nervous and not sure of him self.

Haven't gotten a ticket in ym car yet, but some punk in a riced up civic felt the need to race me. I know (out of experience and my detector) that the county/city cops like to sit off base and catch the younger "A" school students speeding. I was just crusing a long, this little punk pulls along side, I give him a signal like "let's go"... and HE takes off. I on the other hand, cruise (legally) past him a mile later, he's spread eagle on his hood while the cop is reading him the riot act. Streat racing's stupid, hopefully that kid will learn... MUAHAHA

My highest ticket was $395 snohomish county, WA on I5 the day before Christmas. Was taking a couple people to the airport (pre rx-8). I hit 110, but he only zapped me at 96 in a 70. I saw the judge to try and get it reduced, and he almost hit me with reckless endangerment as well. Ah well, can't win them all. That was back in '99, no tickets or warnings since.
