$175 Ticket

On my way to Easter Shore, MD. 7pm clean strech of road no cars in site on bridge about 3 miles of run. I floor it, get the car up to about 110mph, hit the bridge and theres a slight right turn took it like a champ..music blasting. now I'm comming off the bridge and on comming in the other direction is a local police cruiser I instantly drop the car in neutral and he hits the lights and crosses the median. Pulls me over I give me some excuses and he said " I would normally take you in for this young man but I'm gonna give u a ticket." Breaks me off with $175 ticket and then says "I'm sorry I had to do that, drive slower next time". hops back in the crusier, crosses back over the median and goes on his way.

Oh yeah speed limit was 50 mph..

a friend of mine got pulled over doing about 120 and the cop ran up with his gun drawn. he was pretty pissed...friend had to get a lawyer and pay all sorts of fines and lost some points on his license.

Wow the cop actually said he was sorry for giving you a ticket? Sounds like a pretty nice cop.

they always say they'll usually take you in for things but in actuality they're just too f*in lazy to do the paperwork it requires to arrest you and impound your car.

I told him that I heard that some people had been driven off the road by local good old boys and shot. Did not watn to be a statistic.

He was like "That was a long time ago, doesn't happen any more"

Wow.. that's cheap. I paid $375 and had two points (uncorrectable) after going 105mph.
