I seem to have the worst luck with getting pulled over. I tend to get pulled over a lot and have gotten 4 tickets in my TSX in the 3 and a half years I have been driving it. I just got 2 here recently, one for speeding (I think I was going 58 in a 35 in Buckhead which was Atlanta PD) and the other for running a red light. I was pissed at myself for getting the speeding ticket, but I felt like the officer should have let me off with a warning for the red light. I looked down for a minute when I was driving home from playing basketball and when I looked up the light had turned yellow, I hit the brakes but I would have ended up in the middle of the intersection had I stopped, so I went ahead and gave it some gas and coasted through the intersection. Sure enough the Lawrenceville PD was sitting right there and pulled me over. I was extremely apologetic and told him if I had stopped I would have been in the middle of the intersection so I asked him what I should have done. He said, "Pay closer attention when you're driving". Asshole...$84 out of my pocket.
Oh, and the speeding ticket was $250 paid online though. Very easy to deal with Atlanta PD.

I almost got side-swiped by a guy not paying attention. If I had hit the gas as soon as the green light came on, he would have t-boned me and I would be dead. The guy went straight through on a red light. Luckily, I wasn't in a hurry for once and he missed me by literally inches. That red light thing is serious stuff...

I was stopped in downtown Richmond, VA in middle of VCU campus a couple of months ago. I was trying to find a new customer location and just kept driving in circles until I found it. Well, until the kind police officer told me where it was.
I was in the right lane, bus in left lane, and the only options were L or R. I looked right and saw it was taking me the wrong way, so when the light turned Green and the bus didn't budge I turned on my blink-blink and went Left. I had plenty of space and the bus pulled out behind me but a moto-cop passed all 5 cars behind us and pulled me. Now, being a concealed permit carrier it showed up on my call in. The police officer approached and said "That's a nice looking TL. Do you have a weapon on you, Mr. Fox?" I skipped the compliment and went right to the "no". They have had a few abductions and shootings on campus and they are cracking down on violations. He handed me the tic and told me how to get where I was going. I totally forgot to say 'thanks' for the "nice TL" and felt so bad I hoped I saw him again and apologize for being rude.
I've been stopped at 105mph before (10+ yrs ago). The bugger caught up with me at the top of a suspension bridge in RIC but I didn't stop until I got to the bottom. Too many drivers get to the top and start looking out the windows at the pretty scenery and I didn't want to be a victim of stupidity (like I'm one to talk at 100+!!) so I continued down the bridge to the other side. He definitely didn't like that! I saw the bright spotlight (10pm) and heard a distinctive "click" of a barrel being racked. My response "I just wanted to see what it would do, officer" They did a standard search of the vehicle, tossed my car cover on the ground. "Dude- don't get that dirty!" Whoops. All they found was a Bible in the back seat. What a great witness I was that night.
I would love to take the TL to it's 155 mark, but it will have to be on a track. That little incident could have lost my license and my job (in sales). I got out of that though with a little, shall we say, "weekend duty".
Be safer than you are stupid, please.

Got a pretty funny story and some advice for a few of you out there!! I was in the car with my best girl friend (not my g/f), and she is not the best driver but my car was in the shop at the time so oh well. But we went to the beach and she used the turning lane to pass some one who was doing God knows what in the main lane. But since she isn't the best driver, she like slammed on the gas to go around him faster and chirped her tires as she turned the wheel really hard both to go around and to come back into the lane....so wreckless driving pretty much and speeding. And a cop was at the next intersecting just waiting for her...
The cop pulls her over and she is trying to think fast because she has just got a previous ticket for speeding in NJ (which is now where we were at the beach) and she didn't want another ticket in NJ cause she had points from the previous ticket.
So, there is a water bottle sitting in the middle console and what the heck does this girl do.....she takes the water bottle and dumps some of it on her pants and splashes some in her eyes. The cop comes to the window and she starts balling her eyes out before the cop even says why he pulled her over, as i try soo hard not to laugh and shes tells him that she had an accident while we were at a party (sorry, it was night time) and that she just had to get herself home. I started laughing and so i played it off like i was a b/f who didn't care that she "peed" her pants and the cop tells me to stop laughing and tells her to just take care of herself and go straight home! We drove off and she started laughing and i was just like WOW!!!!
On a personal note, i have only gotten pulled over twice and got them both brought to fees of $45 and $50 with not points after they should have been $200-$300 and 3-4 points! got lucky!!

i believe that howard is a fellow police officer. so when the guy pulled him over it was essential him pulling over his "boss".

when i get pulled over, i politely ask the cop to see his/her radar gun. that usually gets them upset, but you have a right to know and i usually can get by with just a warning

cops have been shot through the glass before, so it's natural they are on guard.
when i get pulled over i turn on my flashers, turn on the interior lights so he can see me, and keep my hands on the wheel in view until he asks for my stuff.

May i suggest to everyone, to avoid getting shot or misunderstanding, when you get pulled over, TURN ON the dome/interior light of the car, all passenger put your hand either on the dash board or the steering wheel, that way, from far away, police can see well lit interior of vehicle and can see all your hands.. taken that worry away, you guys may get off to a good start.
a while ago, this LA County Sheriff car pulled over a guy. actually was attempting to, the guy stopped in middle of the street on 119th street, got off the car, sprayed the deputies and black white with AK-47 as he got off the car.................. they were pulling him over only for speed violation, hope this share a little bit insight as to why police can be high strung, hands on guns when they pull anyone over....

hahahaha. stupid things...blocking the box is so annoying. you should be shot!
busted headlight is annoying to other drivers....affects their judgement. tint, you're right, stupid for having an illegal amount. illegal u-turns are debatable.
just raggin on ya man.

1) DOWN SHIFT (engine braking)
2) Pull handbrakes in a slow slow motion,
and BAM you just went from 90 --> 65mph without using ur brakes .....
hopefully ur not racing, and the person behind you crashes up to you.....
thats a mess...
DONT STREET RACE!!
TSX is meant for autoX. hehehehe
