Yep... 5 October. Routine control, I am sitting in the traffic jam that the control caused (dual lanes, one being blocked by the police).

As soon as the guy spots me, he starts waving, and "reels me in"...

Was on my way back from the "Ministry of Traffic" trying to find out why the car isn't allowed on the road yet, on UK plates (my Range Rover's old plates).

Was apprehended for two hours in the police van, until I found a towing truck to take the car home. (Got me into a huge missunderstanding with my gf, as I told her (not being a native English speaker) that I got "arrested", making her think I ended up in jail)

Wonder how much the fine eventually will be...

I got pulled over on September 9th on my way to work at 5:30AM. Exactly one week prior to that, someone lost their life on the street that constitutes the majority of my drive to work, because they were speeding, lost control and smacked into a light-pole. This also caused a small fire.

Anywho, the local police had an overbearing show of force the next week with no less than eight patrol cars inside of a 2 mile stretch of road. I got pulled over for 'tailgating', because I was passing by three patrol cars who already had drivers pulled over and were writing tickets; and, while I was passing them, another vehicle cut me off without signaling and took up position within one car length in front of me. The officers didn't see him cut me off; they just saw me driving within two car lengths of the vehicle in front of me (I had already started backing off before they even looked at me, apparently). The entire time, traffic was moving 10-15 mph below the limit due to the police presence and blinding spotlights pointed every which way in a concentrated area.

I immediately started on a Statement of Facts, submitted a request for Trial by Written Declaration, and easily won the case. I got my $235.00 bail refunded just over a month later.




I'll be damned if my first uncontested ticket in my Camaro isn't for speeding.

I got pull over 3 times already and got 2 tickets, the 1st time was for making a left turn and according to the officer I was speeding when I was making the left turn, the 2nd time I got a ticket for tinted windows, but the officer went around the car looking for more things, he was asking me why the car was way to low and I didn't have a plate as well, (front or rear plate) and the 3rd time I got pull over for not having a rear license plate, I was just coming back from a show, but at least this time the officer was nice and he didn't give me a ticket and just gave me a complement on the car. luckily I got rid of the other 2 tickets already.

twice now. One for doing 80 in a 70, this was legitimate. The other was a ticky tack crap reason.

I got pulled over for blue headlights, the leo did a u turn in the middle of the street to get me for the 10k hids. Leo walked up ask for license, registration and then asked is my address the correct address on my registration. He hit me with a $60 dollar ticket, I was very polite about the situation so I wasn't angry. Just shocked for the infraction when I've seen different tint colors of HID's on other cars thought my city.

I voted NO, but I have been questioned on many occasions (usually at roadside DWI, Inspection, Reg, & seat belt checks)about my car not having the front plate on. Fortunately the officers have been cool about it for the most part, knock on wood.
