so, my friend and i were driving back to minnesota from michigan today. we got one speeding ticket, and went 57 the rest of the way. well, sorta. my friend sped up a bit when a different car came along and yeah, another cop came.


we saw it put its brakes on and commence the "i'm gonna gitchya" u-turn.


just then, a dirt road came in and we took it. we stopped and made sandwiches and then went back out and the coast was clear. we went 57 all the way to duluth (looooooooooooooong way). :|
 
I am sorry you got 1 ticket Lilly, but glad you out-foxed the law-dogs in the other instance.

I remember back in the good 'ole days when you didn't have to make sandwiches to get outta ticket. My pretty sister would just turn on the tears for the law-dogs and they would always let her go. Of course, if that didn't work there was always the "cannonball run style" deal where a couple of lovelies would get pulled over and unzip their tops for the officer to see and he would let them off from speeding.

You know what killed this ???

Damn political correctness:wink: :wink: :wink:
 
waterworks = usually a plus, howEVER several things were not in our favor:

1. we were out of state

2. we just got a ticket no more than 2 minutes earlier.

3. we were almost in wisconsin.



ok, that third has nothing to do with anything except to say that wisconsin sucks. a lot. especially if you're minnesotan and you want to drive quickly there.
 
Well I understand your deal here

Perhaps you should have badmouthed Randy Moss and confessed your love for Brett Favre then they would have let you off with a sandwich;)

The fastest I ever drove was on an alert coming back from Cape Hatteras , N Carolina (beautiful) to Ft Eustis Va. We sped in excess of 155mph in my shiny new green Z28 (one of my bosses referred to it as the green bomber) and as I slowed down to 75mph coming into Suffolk, Va, I was met by Virginia's finest state boys. I explained to his officerness that I was responding to an alert (military). He kindly handed me a reckless driving ticket and told me to "tell it to the judge, son"

I didn't show him my chest though:wink:

Oh My Lilly, you little deviant you ;) and you say I'm the evil one, ha, I've only gotten one parking ticket in my 10 years of driving ;)
 
I've been pulled over twice for speeding...however, I had good TRUE stories each time, so the officers took pity on me and let me go (and, no, I didn't even cry).
 
daisy dear, i have never received a ticket. actually, everytime i'm involved when a cop comes up, we either get away with whatever we were doing, or we get a lighter penalty.

in example:

in michigan, my friend was probably going 85-ish, but the cop only gave us 60 in a 55.

here, my other friend was going 65 in a 55. the cop let us go.



many other stories exist like this...just another reason to take me along places. :D

All the Michigan cops I have encountered have been really great.
 
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

That sounds just like what my friend and I did a few years ago!
I was visiting her in Maryland and it had been pouring rain. I, being from the Los Angeles area, had never really seen flooded rivers and creeks before.
Sooo, we(my friend and her roommate) decided to go for a drive and see how much damage had been done from the storm. We tried to cross one creek, but we couldnt see how deep it was, and then this car turns its highbeams on us from the opposite side of the creek. We had no choice but to back up and get out of there, and it seemed pretty likely it was a cop car.
So, we went down this other woodsy street, saw a sign that said the road ahead was closed(flooded), ignored the sign and kept driving. It was all fine, there was little water around, but suddenly this car way up ahead pulls away from the side of the road and starts heading out way.
We quickly assumed it was the police, made a u-ey and hoped theyd leave us alone.
The car kept following us though, still far behind, and we had a debate as to whether or not it was actually the cops. We came to the conclusion that it had to be, and my friends roommate(a guy:rolleyes:) was in the backseat, and he seemed to be enjoying this! The car was still back there, getting closer, and my friend was gripping the steering wheel with a panicked expression on her face!!! I was busy thinking up excuses: Officer, i'm not from here, i told them not to drive down a closed road, but i'm from CA and i dont know anything about flooded roads,you see....
The car was still getting closer and by now the stupid guy in the back of our car was shrieking with joy, telling my friend to go faster, or shut off her lights, which would have been a stupid thing to do and only get her in more trouble. We were terrified, he was having a great time.:no:
My friend desperately searched for a road to turn into, but there was nothing. A few driveways, but no streets.
It seemed like an eternity, but we FINALLY found another woodsy road and turned right. Thank goodness, the cop did not follow or even turn on his lights. Just escorted us the hell out of there! That was nice!!:yes:

1. Good thing you guys didn't get a ticket in Wisconsin - you have to pay on the spot.


2. From the Eagan library, zoney.



1. we had to pay $70 bond (uhh which i had to pay cos my friend was broke)

2. loveyouloveyoueagan
 
Huh? Are you saying you love zoner Lilly? :D

And how can they make you pay a fine on the spot? What if you dont have cash or a credit card? I never have money on me when I'm driving and damned if I would tell a cop I had plastic.

:ohmy: :eyebrow: :eeklaugh: :laugh: nope. i'm saying i appreciate the fine city of eagan and its facilities. not zone and his uhh...something.

they gave us a few options, pay on the spot, offer up a bond card, or give your driver's license as bond.
 
so they take your license then expect you to walk home? or just drive illegally? that's weird.............
