How to get out of a speeding ticket.....
Aug 28^th, 2010 at 3:47pm

Hello All,

If you’re expecting a primer…fraid you’ll have to go to the internet. This one is pretty specific.

Home…2001….visiting Mom and Step-Dad….driving their car (gold ‘Grandma’ Taurus)…taking them to dinner. They are in the back…and a cute couple…scooched up next to each other. I sneak glances in the mirror and smile…..

Going down a hill…driving carefully I think…HEY, precious cargo ya know. That’s when the whole world changed. Behind me is a WA State Patrol cruiser…and his lights come ON! He pulls me over…and I’m pissed…why?…for what? Words escape that I rarely displayed in front of the folks (gd’s, shit, damn, sonofa BITCH!). Trooper approaches and as I look in the side mirror…his hand is going to his gun. Suppose that’s standard practice in this weird world we live in…but it clenches MY colon. He’s the typical Trooper in our state…’bout 6’4”, blond hair…but looks like he’s 16 (that’s when ya know you are getting old…the cops look like babies).

Leans in the window, stern look, and says: “Sir, do you know you were going 45 mph (it’s a 30 mph zone)? Me: “Ohhhhhhh Loooooordyyyyyy…fer sure?” . Now, I never talk like this and don’t know why I did then. Playing the hick for sympathy?…dunno. Anyway, I’m sure I’m gonna get a ticket…. until I see his head turn slightly to the rear seat…and KNOW I’m NOT. He sees a couple of tiny old folk (93 and 86) scared and clinging (probably more from my unexpected language) and his eyes flicker and he nods at them. Him: “Your folks?” Me: “Yup”. Didn’t ask for my license, didn’t ask for my insurance…detected a very slight smile on his lips as he told me: “well, let’s just slow down a little, OK?…just a warning this time”. “Yes Sir, thank you SIR”

To this day I don’t believe I was speeding…but if you’ve a mind to…it really helps to have a couple of old folks in the back seat! Roll Eyes

Best,

Jon

Reply #4 - Aug 28^th, 2010 at 6:35pm I tried to get out of a speeding ticket in Burbank, Ca. once by telling the cop that my son was a Burbank Police officer. You know what he had the nerve to say to me? Well, then you should know better then, shouldn't you? "

I'm a pretty careful driver, and although I have been known to bend the limit a time or two or three or. . . I'm usually not over much. I do have to say though that the Marine Corps sticker that somehow just happened to end up on the upper left corner of my rear window and again on the passenger window right behind me plus the Marine Dad license plate I have in my front dash has been very helpful in the past. I've never tried to beat one, but if they want to give me a break I'll happily take it.

I was in labor with my last son, 21 years ago now, and speeding to get to the er. A trooper pulled me over for speeding. I tried to explain to him inbetween breaths that I was in labor and on my way to hospital. He said, "then that is a very good reason for you to be driving safely and the speed limit mam" as he proceeded to write me out a ticket. I was so mad. I got to the hospital and within a few min. my son was born. I paid the ticket because I was speeding. I had a lot of people tho after the fact including my insurance agent tell me I should have fought the ticket. All I would have had to do apparently is provide the birth certificate to prove that my story was true. Oh well. Hind sight is 50/50. Man some people have all the luck when it comes to getting out of tickets. Glad it worked for you. My husband has that luck also. Not me for some reason.

Wouldn't work here in NC. If you get stopped by the NCSHP, you are getting a ticket for something.

Unless you have Oregon plates, a NC registration address, a Nebraska Drivers License and are a Canadian...

Then they look at you weird and give you a warning because anything else is too much paperwork Wink

Of course that doesn't work so well if you actually live near a military base, but there isn't one near me, so it's all good Cheesy
