So I went to court this morning for some tickets:

1. 105 in a marked 45 mph zone (radar)
2. speeding in construction zone
3. invalid insurance card
4. improper lane usage
5. failure to signal when turning
6. Reckless driving

...Now #1 and #6 are considered one step below a felony in IL. I brought a lawyer with me for $500 for 15min and was playing it safe that way. When I got up to the defense stand the prosecutor tells the judge that she spoke with the officer who issued the tickets and that all the charges will be DISMISSED!

OMG I was like "WTF?!" to myself and the lawyer looked pretty surprised too. Apparently the COP told the prosecutor that his radar was effed up and that the tickets werent valid becuz of that.

THANK YOU Mr. Illinois State Trooper!!!

 

you're really lucky

 

Dude, you would have got your ass hole ripped open.

That seriously could have fucked your life.

I think he just cut you a break for whatever reason. He could have likely perused all of those charges stating your visual observed rate of speed and or your pace in relation to his cars speed etc.

 

dude go buy a fucking lottery ticket.. you got fucking lucky. lol.. good stuff.

 

and then PM me so i can sell you proper insurance...

Sweet Steve! ..way to dodge a bullet! ..now you gonna buy my Comptech's or what?

 

nice break. i got state farm too, rl chi-town, hook me up with some discounts.

 

You will never be that lucky for the rest of your life!!!

i woulda done a backflip orrr smack my head on the ground attempting one

gratz!!!

 

Were you really going 105??

 

I was going 105mph past the cop but I wwould never speed through a construction zone. I slowed down to 70 after I pasted the guy and down to 45 when we got to the construction zone which was in another 2 miles.

 

lol where the hell were you at? 294?

 

no I was on the 90

 

You're pretty damn lucky, your lawyer is even luckier.

 

i drive on 90 everyday to and from work. i always do the speed limit (only when driving the blue tl-p) and in the morning dont see any cops, but when coming back (around 5pmish) i see them standing before and after the construction zones

 

First, Don't anybody rip open his @$$....I can already tell you whats up there! A horseshoe! ( or maybe the whole D@mn Horse and All the shoes ) I can tell you this though, If you were in an NSX they would find a way to make it all stick. Glad you got off!

 

Yeah, I learned my lesson guys. BUY A DAMN RADAR DETECTOR!!!! haha no but seriously it is hard to remind yourself to look down at the speedo when Acuras are just highway cruisers and going 90mph feels like youre doing the speed limit.
