I'm 50/50.
Here are the warning stories...
First new car (eagle Talon AWD) driving on a newly paved 4 lane road in town. The speed limit is 35. Must have benn going 80-90 ish. I was so far ahead of the cop, I had to wait for him! By the time the cop got to me I had all the info out for him. I hand it to him without looking. He asks if I was in a hurry. Turns out it was a good buddy from High School. Hadn't seen him in years. Got a warning.
Just got home from a 7 day 3500+ day motorcycle road trip. I got home and was anxious to get to my girlfriends house, wink, wink. I literally got off the bike and hopped in my Audi (a 2001 S4). The Audi seemed so slow/comfortable compared to my bike I was driving like a maniac. Got pulled over 2 blocks form my gf's house. I just told the cop my story ( i had my helmet, gloves and jacket on the passengar seat. Still had my riding boots on) and he told me to slow down. He said if he saw me again, he'd throw the book at me.
Driving from Vegas to Phoenix in my 993. Again the road was striaght, flat and empty. Going 75 felt like standing still. I got up to around 110, then realized I shouldn't temp fate. As I was slowing down, I get nailed. Since I still had a NJ drivers license and an AZ registered car. I got a nice tour of the rear seat of the police cruiser. When all my info checked out, the cop hands me a piece of paper tells me nice car - my uncle had a red 930. Hard to drive 'em slow huh? Turns out the paper was a warning. That was the good news. Bad news was the call went out over the AZ troopers radio and every cop would be looking to catch me again. That was a looooong trip home.
Plus numerous other times. It seems if you have no incidents on your record, you are more likely to get out of a ticket. So any time I have a ticket, I hire a lawyer to knock it down. So I've got nothing on my record for about 10 years.
Be careful out there...
