To answer another post i saw not too long ago... i got my brakes resurfaced and new pads last night under warranty at 30200 miles. I had been noticing pulsating at highway speeds so they did it under warranty..............anyway so after i got them done i wanted to check them out. For those of you that are familiar with NOVA you can follow along. I was coming out 66W from pohanka doing between 5-10 over keeping up with the flow of traffic. I got to my exit, 234 S, and went on my way. I usually make the first right but noticed there werent any cars at the light in front of me so I decided to check out the brakes at good speeds. So the light turns green and i ease out to across the street then punch it... dont know how much i got up to but noticed some minivan lights so started to slow down, at the same time i notice a car coming up quickly from behind and all of a sudden lights pop on. I get pulled over and the cop says i was going 95 in a 55, 40 over is well into the wreckless driving area. My detector never went off so i dont think he really got my speed other than a visual judging. He came to the car and said basically that he was going to wait for another car to show up so he could take me to jail for wreckless driving 40mph over the limit. He went back to his car (im scared out of my mind at this point) and about 20mins later comes back and asks for proof i was getting my brakes done... i give it to him and he leaves again for about 5 mins, comes back and says that i should keep it off the streets but seemed happy i did it on a back road and not in busy traffic, then lets me go without anything. As i was pulling away the other cop showed up but i just kept going.

That had to be the closest call I have ever had!!!! The courts take speeding real serious up here!!!! The cop said they could have put me in jail for up to 30days!!!

Moral of the story....umm.... i dont know!? Dont get caught going that fast and just because you dont see any other cars out there and your detector isnt going nuts doesnt mean you cant get pulled over and thrown in jail!!!!!

 

lucky bastard! i went ot jail for reckless driving. been to court twice. the guy who was also arrested plead gulity and got 7 days in jail. FUCK THAT i told my lawyer i wanna take this shit to trial if i have to. i am acused of 94 in a 35. BITCH ASS COPS, they can say what ever they wanna say.
glad u didnt get locked down bro

 

you are one lucky biotch!!! They are hardass's down there in NOVA and I'm surprised he let you go based on your "testing out the new brakes story".

 

You must have a horseshoe up your ass, my friend!!!

 

 

Lucky! Why can't I have luck like that?!

 

no shit so far im in the hole 1000.00$ 700.00 more if we go to trial. thats damn near a set of the 19-z i want
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfu ckfuckfuckfuck

 

hell yeah i was lucky.... i was pulling that horseshoe from my ass all the way home thanking my lucky stars that i wasnt in jail having something shoved into my ass!

 

94 in a 35??? jesus christ, whats the story on that one???

 

You are one lucky SOB!

 

I Street race sometimes, but I never take it past 60-70. Late night highway racing now thats another story.

 

 

to be honest i dont know how fast i was going but i doubt 94. i know it sounds bad but it was 12:30am. he and i were the only 2 on the road, and the COP

 

i got the same ticket, 95 in a 55 but in the houston area. DAMN THIS 55 mph sucks ass, ive got my lawyer and he said that im probably going to get deffered judication for 6 months or so, lets see what happens

 

What about your detector? Did you get busted for that?

 

no... i have it kinda hidden on the visor.

i work in MD and it is legal there but i dont want to have to take it down every time i cross the line so i just put it in a hard to see place on the visor but it still has good forward and rear line of sight.

 

Of course, I'm sure that you KNEW there is a break in period for fresh rotors/pads so they can set in properly right?

 

i had no idea but that is part of the reason i took it easy on the way out to the middle of nowhere...any kind of "set in properly" tips for me?

 

Hmm.... I don't know about where you are, but here in Florida they have to get you on radar or laser. You can actually even ask to see their radar gun if you don't believe how fast they say your were going, and by law they have to show it to you.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that if they don't catch you on radar here, the most they can give you is careless driving, which is a couple fo points and around $170 ticket.

Again, I'm not completely sure of this, it's just my basic understanding of Florida law.

 

Yeah...

Don't slam on the breaks after you just get new rotors installed! Just like a motor, they need some time to get adjusted.

 

i wasnt planning on "slamming" on my brakes... i noticed the pulsating at highway speeds so i was just gonna go drive between 60-80 and tapedy tap tap tap them a few times, a second or two at a time to see how they felt, if the pulsating was gone. does this seem like a bad idea?

 

I would try and keep any type of testing to a minimum for the first 100 or 200 miles on the rotors. Once you get past that, knock yourself out. Regardless if it's highway tap tap tapping. Just drive normally for a few days to make sure you don't fuck em' up.

 

dam u r one lucky mofo.....i hate nova cops, they are a bunch of dicks....i have never gotten off for shit....i got pulled over on the toll road, while a gs430 was flyin by me, but no, hte cop wanted to fuck w/me instead...i was goin about 75, the lex prob like 90-95....i asked the cop why he pulled me instead of the lex, he said 'its none of my business'....what a focker

just out of curiousity....what is ur ethnicity?

 

white.. but i dont think that had anything to do with it.... i make it clear that i was former US air force and that i still serve our country working for the DoD... i think that had a lot to do with it.

and i also said i was sorry!!!

 

Naw, they don't have to show you the speed on radar. I'd rather get a speeding ticket than a careless; insurance.

Dude, you are lucky; epecially after they say they're going to take you to jail...and then change his mind. Wow!

Anyway, we know this already. If you're going to speed, you gotta look out behind you. It's hard...especially when you're going that fast going forward...you have a tendency to fix ahead...looking several 100 yards in front.

I can remember at least 6 times when I was paced from behind by a cop and like the old saying says "they seem to come out of nowhere" even after you check there RV mirror every 15 seconds.

BTW, kinda OT if you think that's bad, a cop sneaking up behind you, how about when the cop is driving alongside you, you on the freeway, the cop on the access road, getting ready to merge onto freeway about 1/2 mile ahead and you finally look out the passenger side window going 90 and you see a huge star on the door....

 

damn, that's lucky for you, glad he didn't get a reading, or else you wouldn't be posting tonight...

 

Well......If they want to get u for a speeding ticket yea true. But take into consideration for the people who have radar/cloaking devices. Where if a pig tries to tag u all that comes back to him is 0.0 on the gun. So then what the porker does is write u up a ticket for excessive speed. With that ticket, proof of speed doesn't need to be varified. Those type of tickets are easily squashed by traffic attournes. But don't try taken those to court urself. The best that u could probably do is have the judge squash the points but u will end up having to pay the ticket 'and' court costs $$$.

LOL!!!

Haaa that once happened to me one the Turnpike here in Ft Lauderdale. I was doing like 60 (the speed limit) and saw a break in traffic. The break was all the way to the right, parallel to the on ramp. So I dipped into the right lane and gunned it. I then noticed a car closing in on the right side of my CLS, it was a merging car. I then noticed the "State of Florida" emblem on the side of the door with a state trooper staring right into my tinted windows with a look that I probably won't forget for some time. And with the quickness I let go of that throttle and let the porker pass me and merge . He passed me and then went on his way. I had to have been doing 90 when I saw him.
That was one of the luckest times I had. I knew that I could smoke him but I just let him fly. I mean he wasn't even in those new Camaros that some on the state pigs have. I mean really come on u know that I could have smoked him.

In reguards to speeding. The way that I do it is I usually travel 10-15 miles faster than traffic. And I don't race the moment I get on the freeway (yea I usually keep it to the freeway). After a few minutes of passing traffic and scanning ahead of me to see any porkers. I then usually find the dumbass who is will to race me in his Integra LS, who was stupid enough to spend $2.5K on engine work and not get a Type-R engine. But what I'm saying is that if u travel 10-15 MPH faster then traffic pigs won't be behind u unless they are going faster than 15-20. Because if u travel faster for a good 5-10 minutes u've buried any traffic that u passed behind u leaving any pig in the dust. Sure its not bullet proof but I haven't gotten pulled over in almost a year and that is un-holly for even me. I usually get pulled over "atleast" once a month. So sit and think about it.
