Post Your Most Memorable 911 Ticket

Everyone enjoys reading about people being cited for gross violations or just being human and stupid. Why not share your misfortune for the amusement and possibly ridicule of others?! Please hurry - quantities are limited.

Mine are unfortunately a little boring, so it shouldn't take much to top these.

When going about 75 on a 2 laner in eastern 'Orygun' between Sisters and Bend I was enjoying the car, listening to Blue Oyster Cult, going over a series of low rolling little hills when I meet an Oregon State Police going the opposite direction on the crest of a hill, radar detector fires when the cruiser's nose just appears, and I know I am instantly dead meet. He had to be flipping his radar on and off when seeing approaching traffic. Well he lights up like Christmas , flips a U-turn and has me over in less than a minute. No sense even trying to argue my way out when he offered to let me see the reading on the radar unit.

My favorite near miss, was on a two-lane highway in Washington state behind a row of 5 cars being held up by grandpa doing 43 MPH. Directly behind me was a Honda civic, riced to the max. When an opening appears in the oncoming traffic, I overtake the 5 cars in nothing flat with the ricer on my heals. I am doing 85, and immediately pull over after overtaking, and the ricer whips past me still on the 'go' peddle. I immediately start backing off while watching the ricer approaching 3 figures - showing that lame Porsche what a Honda can really do. Well in the oncoming lane are 6 cars with a plane gold Malibu in the middle. I am probably at 70 and still decellerating when the approaching cars are just about to me, and the Malibu turns into a light show. He immediately flips a U, and is bearring down on me, and I start slowly moving over to the area over the fog line (now doing the legal limit) - he then blows by me and 3 minutes later I see the kid driving the Honda in handcuffs - game over. How I wanted to honk and waive and yell Honda's rule dude!
