What was the last excuse you gave to an Officer for speeding?

I’ve never been pulled over for speeding, but skwerl88 always says he’ll argue that he was just going with the flow of traffic so as not to be a radical. He wants to be predictable.
If it were me I’d prolly not argue.

I wasn’t speeding, because I was driving side my side with the cop and never once was a head of him. He still pulled me over. I think he was just bored. He asked for my license and asked me to step out of the vehicle. I didn’t have to say anything to him. Once he saw my last name he asked if I knew someone who worked in the DA’s office with the same last name. He said “Oh, great” and let me go.

No excuses – I know girls cry to get out of it but I always took it like a man.

I’m not old enough to drive! haha… but this one time i was with my grandmother and she was going a bit over the speed limit. A police officer pulled her over for speeding (it was in the middle of december) and came over to the car. she said “ooh! i heard the police have been pulling over people to wish them merry christmas!” lame… i know (and sooo far from the truth)! well, the police officer just knda rolled his eyes and looked amused but the funny thing was he let my grandmother off the hook for her speeding ticket!!

The last time I was pulled over it was obviously a trap intended to catch drunk drivers since it was a fairly empty road late at night (1:30am-ish). The state trooper seemed disappointed that I was in fact, stone-cold sober and only gave me a warning.

officer :: “do you know how fast you were going”
me :: “of course not officer, i had my eyes on the road, i didnt want to cause an accident by looking at me speedometer.”

Its only fair that i got a ticket for obstruction of view, hahaha

Well I got pulled over for ALMOST not stopping at a stop sign. When the officers asked me why I was in such a hurry so late I told them that I had gone to get a toilet for our homecoming float at a neighboring town and that I had lost track of time and was late. No ticket but then again I wasn’t doing anything wrong.

Me: “I’m going to magistrate court, and I’m running late!”

I got the speeding ticket, but 20 minutes later my traffic citations for the accident I caused the previous month were dismissed by a very forgiving judge (who didn’t know about that morning’s speeding ticket).

And no, I wasn’t fluthering.

I just look at there Crotch and wink :)

I was driving 165 mph on I-5 over the Grapevine. I flew past three offramps when I decided to check my rearview mirror. When I looked ahead of me, I could see a CHP getting on the I-5 SB. I said, @$$)$%*% at the same time my friend just happen to look behind us and i heard her cuss! Well, i decided it was best for me to just pull over and wait for them. Within perhaps 3 minutes we had three CHP’s infront, beside and behind us.

By the time Officer Albertri walked up to my car, I’ forgotten the story that we made up, so when he asked me, “Do you know how fast you were going?”
I answered, “The question is… Do you?” he started laughing so hard, I figured he was going to let us go. Wrong! Although, I did get the ticket I so rightly deserved. But it was for 85mph instead of 165mpg.

Since I happened to live in Frazier Park at the time we became friends. I think it was a couple years later that I confessed to going the speed I was. He told me he wrote 84 instead of 85 because they would have had to impound my car and arrest me for Reckless Driving. And yes that really did happen…

I believe I have only had one other ticket, but I have been pulled over many times..

@sccrowell, you drive fast, like me =], i like that!

Once on the NJ Turnpike I had an Offier pull me over and ask the usual “Do you know the speed limit in NJ?” I have out of state plates
My response was “I am assuming not 85 from the tone of your voice”

I got a chuckle and a warning

“Just trying to get to a bathroom”

It worked!
