Thumbs down Another ticket

Yeah, I was on my way to a client on Palomar Airport Rd in Carlsbad and there was a motorcycle cop hanging inbetween the trees and bushes on the median with a laser gun. 73 in a 55. This one will stick because I just did traffic school back in October. It's going to hurt. I'm usually pretty good at staying under 65 on roads like that, but I was late that day. He got me 2 blocks from my destination. I was pissed. I wish cops had better things to do...like actually help to solve some of the 33% of murders that go unsolved every year instead of just being revenue generators.

Bummer!

For those of you who might come out this way, here are the driving rules.

1. Morning rush hour is from 5 am to noon; evening rush hour if from noon
to 7 pm; Friday rush hour starts on Thursday.

2. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you'll be rear-ended and cussed
out.

3. A STOP sign is just a suggestion (Simply Tap On Pedal).

4. If you're driving 70 in the fast lane in a 55 to 65 miles per hour zone, you are
considered a road hazard and will be flipped off. (If you return the flip
or flash your lights, you'll be followed home).

5. When you're alone and inching along, the carpool lane is moving; if
you're in the carpool lane it will be inching along while all of the
regular lanes are moving.

6. If you're six car lengths behind the car in front of you on the freeway,
12 cars will cut in front of you.

7. Up to nine cars can make a left turns after the light turns red at most
intersections.

Sorry to hear that Vinny. I did the same thing within 3 months. Bummer the 2nd one he wrote me up for my actual speed. 85 in a 65. I was pissed at the guy in front of me in the fast lane going too slow. When I got the chance, I passed and opened her up and then I saw the lights. Can't seem to learn the first time. Now I use the cruise control set at 70. Sucks to see all these other cars fly by, but I can't afford another tickie.

Yeah, it sucks because I was going to get another discount in June because of having 20 years of driving. I was down to $1150/year. I'm not looking forward to the increase.

Sorry to hear about your ticket, but traffic enforcement is an important part of our job as well as solving murders. Most motorcycle cops mainly do traiffc enforement, so don't be mad he's not out solving murders. We all like our S200s and LOVE to go fast, but you can't be mad at the cop for doing his job. Just gotta find the right places to go fast

i used to agree with #7, until they put up those red light cameras...my dad got one, $100 fine in the mail, and i got to admit, the picture came out very clear...time to get a plastic cover that will fool the camera...until those become illegal...

but that sux bad vez...i'm frequently late to things as well...

Sorry to hear about that. The fastest I was clocked was doing 143 in a 55 on a Yamaha r6 I used to have. That was about half a mile from my house. CHP biker pulled me over and talked to me for about 15 minutes then gave me a warning, I nearly pee'd my pants. I must say that was some of the most uncomfortable 15 minutes I have ever experienced.

And the last time I needed one, when my step-daughter was missing for a couple hours, it took an almost an HOUR for one to show up even when they were told I had an open line on the phone FOR AN HOUR and could hear my step-daughter's muffled cries on the other end with 2 strange guys talking to each other, all of them unaware that here phone was on and I could hear what was going on. I should have gone speeding down Olympic Parkway looking for one. I'm sure I could have found one in 3 minutes.

Sorry, but telling me they are just doing their jobs, at least around here, just doesn't cut it with me at this time.

That really sucks. If you contest it, it will probably get dropped since only 5% of all traffic tickets get contested. If you show up and the officer isn't there, then you automatically win since theres no one there to accuse you of anything.

You can also talk to a prosecutor and get it reduced to probably 60 in a 55(by guilty plea) since you've had a decent driving record.

Yep traffic enforcement is a very important part of the job. Where else would they get all that revenue from?

Things that will draw cops attention. Excessive lane changes. Moving at a different speed than the prevailing traffic. Following too close (my pet peeve). Flashy sporty cars. Changing lanes too close to another car. Cops prejudice against certain cars. I have had cops tell me that, so I don't want to hear it.

On the freeways look in your mirror as you pass the on ramp. Look for the guy in a hurry and follow at a distance. Stay with the pack. Don't go through the intersection after the light turns yellow.

Not trying to preach here. I spent much time driving in various cities around the country and especially in Southern CA. Had 1 ticket in the last 40 yrs. Driving a yaller stewie, I'm extra cautious and try to stay close to the limit in residential areas. I am by no means a slow driver.

Yes, they have quotas. They don't call them that but they are expected to write a certain amount of tickets in a given period, based on the amount of traffic.

Great stuff Phil. Also, know the local taboos. Around here, I keep it at 9mph over the limit if I can't see well enough to know where the highway patrol may be hiding, and often drive right by them with no issues. When I visited Connecticut a while back, I found everyone was going the posted speed limit so I did the same, and ran into troopers running at it as well. The truckers in particular are a good clue - if they're at the posted limit, it's a good idea to stay there too, or if they're at +10 that's probably safe.

On my way to a client and going down a 2 lane side road that has a 65 miles per hour limit and I had this gut feeling it was being patrolled today. So, I was doing only 60 and 2 miles later, going down into a small valley where there's an overpass with brush was a waiting motorcycle cop hiding with a radar gun. I wanted to flip him off going by as he was trying to get his quota in on the last day of the month

So, yesterday I'm heading down Palomar Airport Rd to the same client where I got nailed for speeding before and I'm thinking to myself "Yeah, it's the end of the month. Be on the lookout for revenue generators needing to meet their quota."

I just got my new perscription for my glasses, so I see better. I'm coming up to the spot I got nailed and lo and behold, my great vision picked up from at least 100 hundred yards and maybe more, not one but 2 revenue generators sitting on the median looking to "serve and protect." I quickly slowed down to 40 in a 55 in the left lane and everyone behind me slowed as well. When I went by them, I looked at one and gave them a big F.U. smile. And then after I went passed, I flashed my high beams to every oncoming car. It made my day!

I hope they get fired for missing their quotas.

Well, traffic enforcement is protecting and serving. You know how many young people die each year from speeding and wreckless driving? Do you know how many people are found with open warrants from a traffic stop? Do you know how many guns, drugs, missing children, missing people, wanted people are found from traffic stops? Traffic enforcement is an EXTREMELLY proactive way to police and to PROTECT and SERVE.

You hope they get fired for doing their job? Hmm...sounds mature.

Just to make you all even happier, I just received an award in front of police officers from MD, DC, VA, PA, and NJ for my efforts in traffic enforcement. Not to brag, but people shouldn't be pissed off all the time because you were speeding and you got a ticket. Respect others and their professions.


Can't we go back to talking about S2000's! Have a good day

I'm sure Vez feels much better now! The award should go to the cop that can tell the difference between a kid risking lives and a man late for an appointment with a client. Was Vez running drugs, guns, whores, or bootleg whiskey?? No. OK nobody run's bootleg whiskey I guess. But Terps, you aint going to generate any love for ticket writers round here so you might want to give it up. Don't guess you will though.
Sharks bite, Fat kid's fart, and cops give tickets. We dont have to like any of it.

I just don't get it with you guys. Each any every officer is just " doing their job". After all........who pays them for their service ? You Do !

As Terp says, lets converse with the Honda subjects as this personal sh%t gets way to deep !

i had a similar experience where i was on a two lane state road north of atlanta that merged into one, when out of nowhere as the lanes were merging cop goes by me going well over 100 and merges literally no more than 3 ft in front of me. No light flashing or sirens to indicate he was coming. He was going so fast i didnt see him behind me when i had just checked my rear view mirror. a couple miles later he is sitting in the median (i guess waiting to write tickets or just chillin).


i always wonder if he would have hit me If it would have been my fault. He was being super wreckless and could have killed me.

My conclusion with cops is that many of them are on a power trip and do their job just because they like the uniform and dont understand the power that they have to help or fu$$ people over. There are still a few who are really out there to serve the community and keep us safe.

+1.

BTW - Moving violations suck. Get a good lawyer. I have one and have never paid a ticket at full value and have never gotten any points. Well worth it. If you live in Florida and need a lawyer, I know a good one. He has won every one of my last 10 tickets over the past 5 years.

I agree with you there... I love yellow, but it calls to much attention to you. evey cop in the world basically looks as you go buy.

I remember once when i was on my way to the air port to drop off my girl friend off. I was going maybe 90 and the speed limit was 70, and there was a bridge coming up. i was the only car on the road basically. i look at the bridge and a big cloud of smoke appeared, mind you i haven't passed the bridge yet. i slow down to the speed limit then i see a charger appear(state trooper) i slowed to the speed limit before he clocked me but man was he eager... it was like he wanted to make sure he got a good reading. if he would have waited a little longer. he would have caught me clean.

Glad he was overly excited of that ticket would have killed me.

Traffic enforcement is an EXTREMELLY proactive way to police and to PROTECT and SERVE.

You hope they get fired for doing their job? Hmm...sounds mature.

Just to make you all even happier, I just received an award in front of police officers from MD, DC, VA, PA, and NJ for my efforts in traffic enforcement. Not to brag, but people shouldn't be pissed off all the time because you were speeding and you got a ticket. Respect others and their professions.


Can't we go back to talking about S2000's! Have a good day
Congrats on the award. At the risk of being hated I completly agree with everything that you have said above. I have had my fair share of tickets and i hate getting them too but I know that it's my own fault that I got it. That's all.

We can all complain for a ticket, but if we were breaking the law its time to pay up and shut up, even if it feels unjust.

I completely agree with you there... I made the mistake of speeding so i paid the Consequence. But i do hate the cops that profile me and pick on me all the time... i mean there is this one lady cop that no matter what i was doing she would pull me over to talk to me and make sure i wasn't doing wrong. Isn't that harassment??? I mean it's not like i know her, or like her. She put me in jail. for a reason i still dont know. Anyway back to the point i respect cops for all that they do and put up with i know i couldn't.

No one asked you to come into my chapter forum and post your thoughts. If you want to restrict anything other than S2000 talk in a forum that I moderate, take it up with the admin.

You're right, you can say whatever you want. I guess I just like to defend law enforcement in general, but I am highly outnumbered here. However, I just like to try to prove that cops aren't bad people and do an important job in society. I didn't mean lets talk about S2000's stating you can't voice your opinion here, I was just trying to refer to the only thing (S2Ks) that people wouldn't hate me for. Nor did I reply to that post to be generally directed to you. I don't want any of you to get tickets and I want everyone on here to be be safe and to have fun!
