68 in a 45, oops. First speeding ticket ever (driving for 23 years BTW). Knew this car would be trouble!!!

milloy8 · 08-31-2008, 06:54 PM

64 in a 40 last week, cop acted like he was letting me off. He folded the ticket in a square and hid it between my license and registration. I didn't notice until 2 hours later.

MrHarris · 08-31-2008, 06:56 PM

^ that is so shady.

Dude, that cop is so up tight that if you shove a wooden pole up his butt, it'll turn into diamond in 2 hrs.

How did you sign the ticket if he never gave you the directly? Maybe tickets are issued different than here? Just wondering and by the way tickets suck. If I could convince the U.S. to adopt my ratio policy, us M drivers could legally drive 1.5 times the speed limit.

Good catch. At least in CA, you have to sign the ticket acknologing the ticket and promising to show up in court (or pay the fine). Don't you also have to sign your tickets in Boston?

You have to sign the ticket when the cop hands it to you? Not so in Massachusetts.

I talked to someone else who had a similar experience, apparently they do it to avoid confrontation.

ersin · 08-31-2008, 08:24 PM

In Maryland you must sign the ticket promising to show up in court or pay, or they can take you in, i.e. arrest you. I'm surprised it's different in MA.

6th day i had my car i got pulled over for going well over the limit...ended up getting a ticket for lane change violation because he wasn't running radar and wasn't able to pace me. i was pulling in my driveway by the time he got to me. i wish he had been running radar, then i wouldn't have been speeding!

JMD0977 · 08-31-2008, 09:23 PM

113 in a 65. It was 11:30pm, first time on the highway after break-in. Shit happens...I might have to do school to avoid points ,but at least I dont have any in my record. The cop was in a very deep part after an overpass. The V1 didnt even beep.

Yeah, I was a bit worried. It think over a 100+mph gets u reckless driving and a free ride to jail here in FL too if the cops want to be assholes but I think it was the first M3 they stopped

They were like: " what year is this?"

i'll never forget what the cop asked me..."is this new?" when it had dealer paper tags on it.

positiveions · 08-31-2008, 09:50 PM

110 on 65 @ the 118 fwy. But the trooper was nice to put it as 80 so i can attend traffic school.

Boy, that's the luck. Wrote up for a 94 in a 65. No such nicety for me. But to his credit, the officer was damn nice. "Don't worry sir, we'll get you on your way as quickly as possible."

Sorry man...

yea, but I was kind of on a "spirited drive" over the previous couple hours.. had been to a car show all morning. i had easily broken the speed limit by 25+ half a dozen times, so I should probably just be happy it was only 82.

That is the reason I don't have a radar detector.

I am not against them, and I'm not slamming them or people that use them. I just think that if I got one I'd become too comfortable and get burned that 1% of the time it doesn't alert me.
