Speeding Ticket

Daughter got a speeding ticket for 81 in a 65 zone on the interstate ythis morning by the NM state police. She said she was only doing about 70 and the radar detector never went off. It has never failed to warn me. She was in a brand new sports car (temp tag still) full of pretty college cheerleaders in skimpy uniforms on their way to teach a cheer camp when she was stopped. I would have thought that alone would keep it down to a warning. Wuz up wit dat?

hhmm, gives me an idea, next time i ram the throttle in my 911, i'll make sure it's full of pretty college cheerleaders in skimpy uniforms..that may help keep it down to a warning.

No, that was my first thought too. A guy in his 30s or early 40s by all accounts....If 18-25 year old women can judge that. I quote "you know, old!...maybe late 30s".....LOL

You must drive a POS if you have to "ram down your throttle" to go 5 mph over the limit (70). Of course you wouldn't mind getting a ticket for going 10 mph more than your actual speed by a cop that never turned on his radar, now would you? I guess you liberals just ultimately believe in wealth redistribution regardless of whether it is fair or honest. Thank God your side does not run this country!
Besides, you would need to tie a porkchop around your neck to get a mutt to ride with you, much less one of these nice girls.

Just what exactly did you have to do for the "nice policeman" to only get a warning ticket back in Feb? Maybe no panties under your short skirt...like Mul's post insinuates? Must be nice to be special!

stoney, if i saw a car load of cheerleaders drive by, i would probably stop them just for the look! if it makes her feel any better, i got one on the wed, before her. vertially the same speed over the limit. damn it! oh well, no way the panty trick would have worked for me, not even in san francisco.

cliff,
see her in driving school?

Seriously - do you think she really was doing 70, etc? She might be lying.

If not, then I think the internet is full of sites about how to avoid speeding tickets. In fact, there have been a few threads here about it too.

I think to help you figure this out, we might need photographs.

Well, from what I've seen, the cop break for "pretty college cheerleaders in skimpy uniforms" is only a trend; not a rule.

Just take a look at some of the women bashing threads here. I imagine there are plenty of cops with hottie g/f's or wives. . . but are Really sick of their *****.

. . or, the doughnut eating, lard-ass, pimpled faced cop, with bad breath knows that any woman with a pulse is sooo far out of his league. . .

I dunno. . .maybe her 'tude. . . she's already pissed me off today, by making me feel old.


heh-heh.

I had a friend pulled over this weekend on the freeway by a WSP for racing. A Mustang club flew by him & the tail guy kept slowing down & speeding up to try & get him to race. He never went over 60. My friends 72 911 sporadically globs oil on his exchangers & the cop thought it was tire smoke. The cop went ballistic & told my friend that he was going to jail. What the cop didn't know was that my friend’s passenger was a State supervisor of safety directly in his chain of command. After my friends story matched the guy's story in the Cobra that was egging him on he had to let him go, but the Stater is going to be facing some disciplinary action this week. I hate cops that abuse there authority.

I was just looking at the ticket...hard to read. For speed, in the ones column he had written a 5 and then changed it to a 1. he also marked the box indicating that she was a male. She was not appreciative of that.

That's it. . . he thought they were guys of to a drag party.

Times have changed.

Fortunately there are still guys like Mul, willing to help a pretty girl out, in distress . . or out of a skimpy-dress. . .or. ..
