On my way into to work today I get pulled over by the OPP (I'm sure you can think of some of the many euphemism for Ontario Provincial Police) doing 140 KPH in a 100 KPH (90 mph in a 60 for you Yanks).
Officer - License, Registration, Insurance
Me - Sure Officer
Officer - Do you know how fast you were going
Me - 140 Officer
Officer - Didn't see me get on at James Snow Parkway eh.
Me - No Officer didn't see you until you were in the left lane about a klick behind me.
Officer - Why were you driving so fast
Me - Have to get to Tim Hortons by 2:35 PM or I will be late for work
Officer - LOL
Officer - When was your last ticket
Me - 96 or 97 It was June, Sunday around 7:30 pm I got tagged for 70 in a 60 (speed trap at the end of the month)
Officer - LOL
Officer - 140 is to fast slow it down some
Me - Yes Officer
Officer - Okay I'm letting you off with a warning just slow down.
Me - Thanks Officer
The only speeding ticket I ever had was the result of month end speed trap although I've been pulled over about 7-10 time since 1995 for speeding I just never seem to get a ticket while others I know just get hammered the first time they get pulled over.
Oh 140 in a 100 is about $400.00 and 4 points not to mention what in does to your insurance.
My uncle got a$4,000 dollar fine for speeding, and some other shit, the officer was like, "Hey, since you never been pulled over, this'll be a warning, but next time, I'm takin' no shit!"
I was in the car, it was when i was like 2 years old though oOo:
The reason you weren't ticketed was because you didn't act like a jackass. You guys seem to forget that you write your own tickets. Act like an ass and you get written up. Show a lil' respect, joke a lil', and show that you have your shit together, you drive away with a verbal warning. It's that simple.
Me - Have to get to Tim Hortons by 2:35 PM or I will be late for work.
..isn't Tim Hortons that donut place you guys have mentioned?....never mind being let off!, its a
wonder that cop didn't insist on giving you a high-speed police escort!... Chief Wiggum style!! cool:
