got pulled over and the cop was actually cool about it
So I'm riding home last night in a 55 mph zone, and I end up getting stuck behind a garbage truck that's probably doing 25. Needless to say, I decide to pass in a no passing zone..and then the lights flash and I pull over.
The cop asks for my license, which is expired, tells me as such, I apologise, and he tells me that he had to pull me over, but that we can forget it ever happened. Definitely saved me some cash for the ticket, plus the expired license, plus my bike may or may not have an inspection sticker. I shook the guy's hand and thanked him. I've honestly never had a traffic stop go that well. |

Bwahahaha, read the title and immediatle thought: How can a cop be cool about pulling you over?
Cop - Sup, dawg, I heard you like getting pulled over so Imma pull you over while I pull you over You - AWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA In all cerealness though, WTF are you doing riding with no license and/or those other things? I'm my book this is as stupid as wearing flip flops and shorts while you ride. While gear protects you you from road rash, riding legal protects you from cop rash

I have a complete disdain for the police in my area. First of all, you're lucky to get pulled over in a marked car anymore, which I think is chicken sh*t. Unmarked cars should be used for drug busts, not routine patrols, because god forbid someone actually needs a cop, and there's never going to be one to be found because they're all undercover.
Second, he never even ran my license, which is always a 15 minute hassle. Finally, no warning, and no ticket. Cool is quite relative in this situation. |

Dude are you kidding me???? So with your previous DUI, your lic being expired (Does that mean revoked or suspended??) no tags on your bike, do you have insurance??? Dude I've been in your position with trying to make it seem less your fault. I used to do the same thing, blame everyone else and not take responsibility for my own actions and then I grew up. I'm not sure I believe you that you weren't drunk. I'm sorry bro but with this new information I'm pretty sure you were guilty on the raft. Stop blaming others, stop trying to make people feel sorry for you and take responsibility for your actions. Best advice I can give from someone who used to be just like you.

Expired means freaking expired. Sometimes when you pay for your new license, they forget to send you a camera card, so you have to file a form with the DMV and wait for a new card. Sometimes, you decide to add a set of clip on bars to your bike, which means removing the inspection sticker and having the inspection mechanic refuse to issue a new one without paying for a whole new inspection (illegal). Yes, I have insurance. You can now see why I am so scared of going before a jury. People have this complete logic fallacy that goes like this: This guy got a DUI when he was 19, so me MUST be guilty now. This guy doesn't have an inspection sticker on his bike, so I bet he enjoys driving under the influence. Edit: I'm a little crybaby. Everything is everyone else's fault. I am going to walk to work while I wait for a new camera card, even though I have a valid license. |

I'm not necessarily as harsh as Jon but you definitely need to start making better choices. I just read your other thread after seeing it referenced here. Firstly, water and intoxication doesn't really sound all that smart to me to begin with but I realize people do it. Nevertheless, maybe have a plan other than just winging it with a friend who's probably set on getting drunk. Second, sounds kinda irresponsible to be riding with an expired license and then to possibly not have the state mandated inspection sticker. Does anyone like getting their vehicle inspected? No, probably not, but it's the law. IMO, you were VERY lucky this didn't go the other way and that the officer didn't run your license and find out what else you've been up to.

For 1. I'm not your SON, I'm most likely alot older than you. 2. Your also driving WITHOUT A LICENSE. You're not valid to drive ANYTHING at all. DMV screw up or not. and with no inspection sticker.... YOU'RE DEFFINTELY NOT VALID TO DRIVE THE BIKE.... Thank you for proving my previous point on blaming EVERYONE but yourself.

Lucky you! The other day I was indicating 55 in a 40, which meant I was really doing 50. A cop driving the other way pulls a U turn and follows me for a mile or two while I maintained the speed limit after I left a light. He hits the lights, writes me down for 60 in a 40 and says "we both know you were really going faster than that". BBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Hence why I'm going to court to fight it.
I guess at least I saved myself a lot of headache by cooperating. Only three words I said to him were "hello sir" and "okay" after he handed me my ticket and instructed me on what to do with it. I'll gladly pay the fine for 10 over the limit. That's fair, I got caught and it technically is speeding (although most cops around here will give you ten over), but I'm lawyering up. |

Sounds like he just used the speed match method...in which his speedometer could be wrong.
