Re: What the luckest you've been?

i pulled a state troop off a center divide after he followed me for 4 mile running my plates and tailgating like no tomorrow i mean it was so bad i couldn't even see his headlights.

Now how he got on the center divide, well in New Jersey we have highways with center divide like 7 inches high and people other then emergency officials off-road on to get to get to an exit 4 lanes over form express lanes to local lanes. I know many people here know if its to high you slow down and go over one tire at a time, well this cop miss that lesson in driving school he hit it balls off and high centered the crown vic on the highest part at at like 75mpg the sparks and metal grinding, man he destroy whole underside lol he lucky i wasn't the a-hole type to leave a person high and dry and i got to drive backwards on a highway lol.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

i was transporting my car back to storage since i had just taken it to get inspected. at the time i had a suspended license. no insurance and the hood was straped down with 2 ratchet straps.. (long story).. car starts to sound like its ganna run outta gas and im about 1/4 mile from where i need to be. so i step on it a lil bit to pass this car so i can get in the left lane and turn. well as soon as i hit the gas i see the state boy.. to late i was already going 10 over and that was b4 i was trying to pass the other car. so now im doing about 15 to 20 over the speed limit which was 55.. the state boy cuts down threw a steap incline median.. and the light infront of me turns yellow.. i think to myself i can make it.. then think if i dont thats just another ticket. so i slow it down for the light but hes still not behind me just yet. light turns green i take off like normal like i didnt notice he was following me. i go to make the left turn and he right behind me lights on so i stop.. he gets out and he asks for my license registration where im going and where i was comming from. i tell him that my license was suspended i gave him the registration and i told him that the car was just inspected and i was bringing it back to park it. (this was my 3rd time getting stoped with a suspended license.. in va thats automatic jail).. well there i am sitting in the car shaking thinking that im about to go to jail for the first time act... and he comes back to the car and gave me a ticket for a broken speedo and said that if he catches me driving again that he was going to arrest me and take my car, i didnt know what to say.. this man had my life in his hands and he decided to give me a break (first time i ever got one from a cop) he got back in his car and left... later that night me and my gf were leaving in her camaro (which is almost the same as mine only shes got a 6 and not an 8)and there he was parked right outside my road waiting.. we pulled out he turned his lights on.. came up to the window and b4 he relized who was driving he said I THOUGHT I TOLD U THAT IF I CAUGHT U DRIVING AGAIN THAT I WAS GANNA TAKE U IN.??? (he gets to window) O HI MISS I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIM DRIVING HAVE A NICE NIGHT MAAM.. havent seen him since.. so all in all i consider myself lucky cause he could have givin me about 8 tickets that day and still took me in and took my camaro on top of it all..

Re: What the luckest you've been?

I remember i went to a street race down in Compton and i was next to race a honda accord and soon as the driver in front of me started burning tires the cop pulled next to me. Everybody just ran and i started driving away but the cop was closing in on me when this red honda civic started speeding on the opposite side of the road so the cop stopped and started to chase the honda. It was super close.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Not too long ago, in my 3rd gen. I came to a stop sign and when I looked across the way I saw some ******* kids playing outside in thier yard. I siad to myself "I think I show off for the *******s(I'm one too.....I can say it). So I wait for the car in front of me to pull off (A really nice new pretty ,dark blue Impala) and he did. he didnt have far to go and neither did I. Turn on one road and turn off 40 yards or so onto the next and turn again(Left turn then right).Well.........I bring the mighty 305 out in the road sideways with smoke show'n! I strighten up and continue down to the next turn. I noticed the guy in the Impala looking really hard in the rear view and that he had slowed way down on the on ramp. As I drew closer I begain to notice some very small blue strobe lights right below the roof line, tucked away nice and neat and VERY Descrete! Well.........we pulled on out onto the main highway and he wouldnt go above 55. It just so happens the speed limit on this road is 65. I just fell in behind him and refused to pass. He then took an exit which also had an on ramp across from the top of the exit ramp which I fully expected him to come back down behind me. Well, he didnt lucky me!

Re: What the luckest you've been?

This was a number of years ago, when I had my first car, a 1969 Cutlass S (455 Rocket under the hood, sigh). We had this town marshal, who we called Papa Smurf (old guy in blue, not very original, I know, but we were teens).

One snowy night, he was sitting up town in front of the fire station, where he spent most nights hanging out drinking coffee with his wife in the car. I dropped my car down a gear, tromped it for a few donuts right in front of him, waved and sped off.

He did not catch me. But I nearly died of fright getting away, lol.

When I would see him after that, he wouldn't even acknowledge what had happened. Until one day when I was home on leave from the Army and I ran into him. He asked me if I still had that Cutlass that was so good in snow and winked at me.

Ahhh, the good old days...

Re: What the luckest you've been?

you're right that was the ONE time I was let off. That probably would have been BAD if they threw the book at me lol. Just recently had to get my driving abstract for the lawyer and it shows 2 speeding tickets in a week in '04 when I first moved here, a tint ticket in '07, a speeding ticket in the friggen FJ in '07, and the speeding ticket a couple months ago.

OH wait, there was one other time I got let off. I just got my hood/bumper painted and a good ole bedford boy camped out on 460 near the trooper station pulled me for no front plate. Told him I just got the bumper painted and he let me go....

OK, so maybe im more fortunate than I think, and maybe I just drive too fast sometimes

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Well i don't know if it was luck or just the fact that the cop wasn't observant. I was coming home from helping my brother and it was about 10pm. I was behind this BMW that was going a little slower than i usually went on this stretch of road. The road i was on went from 2 lanes to one when it went over a bridge then back to 2 right before a light. So right before the bridge i passed the BMW doing probably 50 when he was doing maybe 30. after crossing the bridge the road went back to two lanes and i began to slow down for the light. right as i did the same BMW comes flying past me probably doing 70 then slams on his brakes to stop at the light. i pulled casually up to the light in the right turn only lane while he was next to me in the lane going straight. i look over and what do i see, a car full of college age idiots probably tooling around in the dads 3-series. Me being a college freshman myself i decided that flyby was definitely not going un-answered. so even though i was in the right turn only lane as soon as the light turned green i broke the tires loose and peeled out infront of them cutting across to go straight. as soon as i crossed the intersection i noticed Needhams finest in the oncoming lane. I thought oh ****, he just saw everything. but as i passed him nothing happned, no u-turn, no flashing lights. WOW talk about oblivious

Re: What the luckest you've been?

good stories guys!

heres mine

I had just bought my 91 rs from a guy in santee. we worked out a deal since he hadnt registered it since like 04 (this was in 06) he wanted to take the front clip off and put it on something else yadda yadda ya. so, drive i home fine, and leave it sittin around till i get the money to current registration. well i DID add it to my insurance but figured in the mean time theres nothing wrong with goin down the street to local corner store, etc. me and the wife go to blockbuster one night down the street. it was late and a cop pulls behind me and im like **** i hope he doesnt catch it. he did... lights me up and i pull into a side street with run down houses/apts. I play the "im from another state and in the military" and not sure what a smog is and hes like ohhh i see well just get a smog and then make sure you register it or get a temp slip to put in the window. nicest cop ever, him and his partner and he was real young. so im like ok i can do that and i apalogize then he hands me back my DL and runs off to the side walk and grabs this dude walking im like wtf? either i got lucky and this guy just did something in front of the cop down the street? or thats why he didnt waste his time with me, or maybe he got a call about this dude and happened to be there. weirdest thing ever i ask my wife if she saw what this guy did and shes like i dunno i guess the dude was walking or running and just happened to get wrapped up by the cops that were interrogating me. no use of sticking around since he just let me go so i busted a U and went to blockbuster and went home. crazy night.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

One night i was out on a stretch of road next to my old elementary school. it was empty besides the car behind me. at the stop, i pull out my phone and start the stop watch, and punch it. i was doing a 0-60 run but there was enough road i was able to hit 92mph and then i saw the blue lights.

i pulled over, and waited. Hes walking up and he says "I can still smell that burnt rubber, what happened?" i said "i dont know officer" he asked for my license, took his time, came back and said "you are 17, who pays your insurance? if i give you a ticket it will go up" i tell him that i pay for it, and he tells me "well ill give you a warning, because a 92mph in a 35 will get your license pulled since you are a minor"

i thank him, hand shake and a have a good night and we were on our ways. turns out he was in a charger car, the lights were hidden. First time to get pulled over, and a lesson learned

as for the 0-60, about 7.53 secs. that would of been a costly 0-60 run

Re: What the luckest you've been?

I had a 98 f150 2wd 5.4 triton. I had just came through town with 3 bras hanging from my mirror and 3 naked girls in my truck. Me and my buddies had a great night lol. But before I had dropped the girls off they had picked up a big bag of weed and they had lots of pills on them. I had dropped them off went to walmart and cleaned out my truck where I had found pills they dropped and threw them out. Me and my 2 friends went to the Mexican restaurant and met up with a few other people and when I left i did a posi burnout from one side of the parking lot to the other and as i was sideways about to go into the road 2 cops drove by. The cops u-turned and got behind me and pulled me over. He said "You were coming out of that parking lot pretty fast weren't you?" I said yeah i was just show in off he told me the reason he pulled me over was because my license plate light was out. also I was on a restricted license I was out later than I was supposed to be and I had 1 more person in the truck than I should have. After searching my truck he let me go off with out a ticket when he could of got me for reckless driving, license plate light being out, being out later than im supposed to, having to many people in the truck. I Hate to think of what would of happened if those girls were still with me.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Guess i've been lucky quite a few times but will post two. Once was before i got my RS i was in my 88 Fiero Formula with a buddy of mine racing a s/c regal from one town to the next in a 45mph zone passed a police station but since i had just got my license and being young didn't really care about that "what if's" anyway we got out to this nice long stretch of road when this tan impala flies up behind us so i got in the lane behind the regal expecting both of them to go at it but the race never happened and my buddy an i couldn't figure out the reason why, well lets just say about 20 seconds later when the impala got in my lane i decided to be mr.cool and go speeding by him and the regal at 110 a little later down the road i look in the rearview and see the flashing red and blue at the point i'm like "you gotta be f'n kidding me" so i pull over and the cop comes up to my window and tells me that he could take my license right then an there but instead he says "well since you're being a nice guy i'm going to let you go with a warning".

The other time is after i had just got my rs. i was messing around with a few friends of mine, and a buddy and i were running about 65-70 in a 35mph zone we were both about to gun it when a sheriff comes up to the right of us with his lights on and yells at my buddy to slow before taking back off on his merry way lol. i thought for sure i was f'd that night but i guess he wanted to get the import guys in front of us with the lead foot.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Ok, so i was on the highway in the second lane goin about 75 in a 65 area. So as im passing by some blackish/blue 4 door ford, he sppeds up and stays beside me. I look at him, he seems like a guy in his late 20s that would do a friendly race so i revve'd my engine a bit and mashed the gas pedal to the floor. He hangs back but quickly followed. After about 10-15 secconds he was beside me and looks at me and chuckles. then he flashed on his lights and flicked his sirens. It was an under cover cruiser lol. To my surprise he shut the lights off and we slowed down to 65 and he just drove away. That was my closest call with the cops, but it was a funny memory though

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Funniest:

One night I was outside a 7-11 and every now and then down here I will see an interstate narcotics interceptor crown vic. These things sound real mean with loud *** exhaust and you can tell they're cammed. I've seen the same cop and same car at that 7-11 before. We both go out of the 7-11 at the same time and get into our cars. I start mkine and rev it a little. He starts his cruiser and let's loose on the exhaust, he then backs out, revs a couple of times and does a burnout out of the 7-11 parking lot.



Luckiest:

I was hanging out with a racing crew I hang out with down here that gathers once a week every friday night. Like 60 - 70 cars. After the meet me a couple buddies and random dudes decide to go do something stupid. It's me, my buddy in his Vr-4, his buddy in a base model RSX, a turbo civic and some dude in a pickup truck. We all drive down the road and gather in this neighborhood. Mr base model RSX challenges the trubo civic to a race. VR-4 drives down the road to be raced to scout for cops and comes back 5 minutes later to report the road is clear.

Well we all take off down the road, make a U-Turn at the light and start heading back the other way. RSX and turbo civic get side by side, honk 3 times then take off from a 30MPH roll. We all are keeping up behind them to see who wins, when we all BLOW BY a county cruiser going the opposite direction. We get back to the neighborhood we started at and park and turn our lights off. We're talking for a minute, then off in the distance we see the cop driving up the way we came. We all thought, "Ah he's probably gonna heads towards the parkway to see which way we went. All of a sudden he hook s a left turn and starts driving down in our direction. We all were like @_@ jump into our cars and scatter like roaches through all the culdesac's of the nieghborhood. Everyone got away. He probably still looking for us .



Stupidest/Luckiest:

The day I bought my car was the first and only day I got pulled over. I had a one way trip permit in the back window since it had no plates. This means I was to drive the car from point of sale to HOME with no trips in between. Well, like the genius I am I decide on the way from the point of sale, I will drive it to work (At this time a shift manager at local pizza hut) which is only 5 minutes away from my house, then drive it home AFTER my shift is over this way I have a chance to show it off. I hide it behind the shed and clock in. Throughout the day, I am showing everyone my new ride and going in and out of the building behind the shed.

Nightfall hits And It's 10:30. My ex girlfriend is there waiting for me to get off and I look outside to see about 5 town cruisers roaring towards my neighborhood with their lights and sirens blaring. Turns out they just raided a crack house. I think OH CRAP WTF!? HOW AM I GONNA GET HOME!? I decide to hang out and shoot the **** with fellow employees and buddies across the parking lot at the local ice cream parlor. I pick up me and ex a couple of shakes and before you know it an hour and a half has gone by. So I start coming up with this huge diabolical scheme. I figure, "OK. Enough time has gone by. If I slip out the back way of the parking lot, cut across the street through the gas station, drive up through the shopping plaza (Which unbeknowngst to me they JUST moved the police station to a couple weeks earlier ), make a left onto Rt.1 and hook a right taking the backway through my neighborhood, I'll be out of sight and simultaneously avoid police hotspots.

Well, me and the ex get into the new fangled car and I start the engine. Being the stupid testosterone driven male I am I just HAD to show off and rev the engine up to 5000RPM. As I am backing out, I notice I had caught alot of attention in the parking lot. I'm like, "Sweeeeeet. Everyone loves me!". I drive the car exactly 20 feet and see lights and sirens. THERE WAS A FREAKING UNMARKED CAHRGER IN THE PIZZA HUT PARKING LOT! I turn the car off and the douchebag officer who is a real **** walks up to the side of the car. He tells me to roll my window down so I turn the ignition to on to power the windows. He then get's real jumpy thinking I'm about to run. After I roll the window down He then proceeds to ask, "Why ain't you got no plates on this here auto-mo-bile". I proceed to tell him I had just bought it and that there was a trip permit in the back window.

BTW, Now would be a good time to mention that if any trips are taken with the vehicle other than point A to point B on that permit the car will get impounded.

So this idiot cop, who looks like a wanna be duke nukem (who we call puke nukem), begins asking me if I was drinking or was on any drugs. He takes my ID, then asks me how old my ex was. When I told him 18, he must have thought I liked em young or something cause he took her ID too to check. He then comes back and starts to open his arrogant mouth again, when the sargeant pulls up in a marked charger. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? LEAVE HIM ALONE HE'S THE MANAGER HERE WE WON'T GET FREE PIZZA NO MORE!!!". "Oh, Uhm... You work here?! That's all you had to say!". He then makes one last dumbass remark saying that he would, "Have to have a bionic eye to see the trip permit in the back window". I told him I was just placing it where DMV instructed, and everyone was on their way after that.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Well it was not a cop it was a NJ toll booth operator, I was playing with a newer BMW M3 in my 87 T-top Iroc on the NJ Turn pike and was "making really good time" the BMW turns off at the service plaza and I keep going to the toll booth, turn my ticket in and then the toll both operator begins the speech about turnpike racing and how this is not place for or the time and how she could go get the Nj State Police, , what ever she took my money and that was it, but I had a blast with that M3

Re: What the luckest you've been?

I had just finished putting my '89 IROC together a few days before and was still workin some things out with it. Decided to do a little test & tune about 2 miles from town.(At the time I lived in a very small town in SW Missouri) Gave it the full 1/4 run to see how things felt and just as I slowed down to 60 I hit the top of a hill and passed a County Sheriff flying the other way. He instantly hit his brakes when I passed him, though he couldn't turn around yet(thank God for 2 lane roads with no shoulders). In light of this fact I decided to take my chances makin back to my house before he can catch up. I flew into town and raced down my driveway, pulled into my garage and as me and my friend get out to shut the garage door we see the Sheriff pull up to the stop sign on my corner. He paused for a second trying to decide which way to go and finally turned right and floored it not knowing he would never catch me. Little too close for my taste, but I enjoyed it none the less!

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Not a 3rdgen, but still a good story. My brother was driving a bike doing about 80 on a freeway in downtown Chicago. Cop pulled up tight behind him, hit the siren and the lights. Instinctively, my brother hit the brakes. All of a sudden, he hears tires screech and sees the cop car sliding sideways, just nearly missing him. He just casually keeps on going - never saw the cop again...That night, he relays this story not realizing that I drove through the same area about 5 minutes after he did. I tell him that I had seen a cop car in that area - on the side of the road - buried up to its axles in mud. At the time, I just chuckled at seeing a cop car stuck, putting the 2 stories together, we know what happen and both have a pretty good laugh.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Not a thirdgen, but still awesome.

This was in the 70s. My uncle and his friend, both in ss chevelles, stopped at the start of the bridge and raced. They were going around 80+, and suddenly my dad pulls right into the middle of them, stands up on his motorcycle, and taps both of their roofs! It was insanely dangerous, but awesome.

Another time my uncle was driving home drunk, in a stingray, and my dad flies by him with the motorcycle. But he's going so fast that the motorcycle is dragging on the ground, creating a huge line of sparks. After about 10 minutes of driving my uncle spots about 10 state troopers way up ahead, chassing sparking streak. My dad got away, stashed his bike in and elderly couples barn(he didn't even know them) ran home and went to bed. The cops come to their house(They all know him) and ask my uncle if my dad is there. He comes up, and they ask him if his bike is around. He tells them he let his friend borrow it and doesn't know where he went. And they tell him to have a goodnight and leave.

Then when he got drafted he was stationed in Germany and met the autobahn.

If only it was still like the 60s n' 70s.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

I was pulled over doing 145km/h in a 110km/h zone. I had my cat with me and the car is meowing like crazy because he hates being in his carrier. The cop comes out and I can barely hear him over the cat and he says nice car, you were going way too fast. I reply im in a hurry for an appointment and he asks whats wrong with my cat and I say he doesnt like getting pulled over. The cop bursts out laughing and procedes to tell me stories about his cat for 15 minutes... lol i guess theres a price to pay sometimes but hey as long as its not 300 dollars then im happy.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

My luckiest

I was driving around downtown at about 11pm with four people in my little l03 rs lol, we pulled up to this stock looking civic....it wasn't very stock. So my ignorant self there was an unmarked crown vic behind both of us before we even started to race lol, so i started to pull on him because we started from a 10mph roll. I got ahead of him at first because he had to duck behind me because there was a bunch of car in his lane and that cop was at the front lol. So when we past the cop, at about 80-90mph the cop flips on his lights and goes after the civic. So me in my teenage testosterone filled he decided to show off to the girls in my car flipped around went down a side street and parked and ducted down. About 30 seconds later i huge excursion or suburban I couldn't tell which flew past us at about 50 lol. And that wasnt the end of it. after about 10 mins go by I decide its o.k. to go, but stupid me turns down the wrong street and end up sitting at a red light with a state trooper sitting right next to me. :s But i got away so its all good. My parents still dont know about it.

I end up finding out that the civic i pulled up next to had about 350bhp and weight about 2000lbs

Dads luckiest
We were driving down a rural highway in his 03 Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo SS heading to look at a C3 Corvette for his midlife crisis lol. He kept catching himself hitting 90mph in a 55. well he did it about 3 times until his luck ran out. He was back up to about 85 when we came over a hill and a Chevy 2500HD cop was coming the opposite way. He didn't think anything about it because the only other time we've seen a truck used for a cop was by Mall of America which is about 400 mi. away so he slowed down a little after the truck flipped a U-e. Flashed his lights and pulled us over.

Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over.
Dad: Ya I was in a hurry to go look at this car and I was speeding...a little.
Cop: Well Sir, you were doing 89 in a 55
Dad: Oh s**t, I didn't think i was going that fast.
(as its getting ready to downpour)
Cop: Well I would right you a ticket, but i don't want to get wet, have a good night.
Dad: Ok, thanks

Meanwhile me in the backseat trying not to burst out laughing.
My dad did about 5 under the whole rest of the way there and back.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

The luckiest I've ever been was back about 6 months ago in the 2nd gen on the day that I got a tune. I was leaving my gf's house and got on a long straight away by her house and did a quick left and didn't see anything no cars no traffic nothing pitch black. So I dropped it in 1st did a quick 20 roll. Threw 2nd, 3rd and let off at about 90 in a 35... I see a bright light behind me out of no where like one of those ufo documentaries lol then 80 so I let off and he turns the light away and nails it. I was like... ooooooohhhh loooorrrd lol I just got away with a for sure license removal. Either he was busy with an emergency or was just having a good day w/e it was I thank that cop.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

I've got two story's ones mine and ones my fathers his wasn't so lucky lol. I'll start with his, back when he had his 69 camaro SS he was very well known but there was an officer Named Rossetti who just really hated him we never knew why we all just figured he took his job very seriously lol. Anyways he was a block away from the house and he ran the red light just before turning into the court and the cop saw him and followed him home but he realized the cop was coming so he whipped around the court pulled the car behind the house's side gate and ran in the house and told my mom not to answer the door sure as hell he knocks on the door my mom answers and he says "nice try" lol.

I was driving my 88 iroc-z through town down our main street and I notice a cop in the turning lane at the last minute when i was downshifting for a turn and I rev'd it real high he just gave me the classic robo-cop look and i made my turn before he made his but he followed me down my street but luckily I got down my residential street quicker not really speeding(ok maybe a little) and I park the car in the back and kill it he never found me =)

Re: What the luckest you've been?

This ones gonna be kinda long..

Ok so my buddy and i are both car junkies, ive got my 89 RS, not a whole lot done to it, headers, exhaust etc, posi, and he has his FC RX7 TII. 1.3L Rotary, pushing stock boost with 4.10's in the rear, hes got a full turbo timer, fuel cut defender and lets just say his car stock, rapes me lol we were bored as hell one night at about 3 am so we decide to go to target and do some stupid crap, so we go behind target and they have a huuuuge slab of nice slick concrete thats fun for sliding our cars around on, so we started with a few burnouts, of course hes gotta whore off his turbo rotary, revs it up to about 6K, gets a good burnout going, pushing 6lbs of boost he started circling my car like a prick, so i decided to attempt it back and we ended up sliding in a circle tandem style... tons of fun right? lack of sleep stopped us from processing that all the cops in town hang out at dennys this time of night which is oh say 50 yards away we've both got loud cars and we were drifitng at 3 am in the quietest town ive ever seen.

So like youd figure one of the cops got off his butt and decided to check it out, i know these guys well, every time i got in the car with my brother he got pulled over so they knew me lol the cop flies up, we did the intelligent thing and shut off the cars, my buddy took his keys and threw them toward the cops car i looked over with this look like "wtf are you doing" and he just said "dude we're screwed and i dont want to make it worse." So the cop runs up whips out his taser and just stopped when he saw me.... remember how i said my brother always got pulled over? well THIS GUY decided to pull out his taser on my brother once because he was getting " out of hand" and he fired at him, MISSED and hit me!

Back to the sweet stare down: he puts his taser away and asks me "what the hell do you think you two are doing?" I told him we were having some fun and then i asked him, "hey... arent you the cop that tased me? by complete accident? you know when i didnt do anything wrong?" so he looked at my friend, looks at me and he goes: "just get the hell out of here and dont let me catch you doing this again, takes my buddies keys and tosses them back to him

i think i came extremely close to dying when i saw the cop car fly up but i knida got that thought in the back of my head "well desperate attempt is better than no attempt" and it made me feel better after the fact, nice to know the cop wanted to reconsile for his mistakes lol, needless to say our tire circles are still there and i havent tried it since i figure one lucky move is probably the only one ill ever get

oh and BTW the im in the army excuse is my absolute favorite! play dumb and itll save you butt any time, i actually got pulled over with my brother the other day and he was in the passenger seat, cop walks up and says he pulled me over for speeding, my brother leaned over and handed him his ID and said, sir, i understand my brother might have been slightly speeding, but i just got flown here from Germany because my daughter is at phoenix childrens hospital right now, im a bit jet lagged and derranged, i JUST got to germany from iraq. After his schpeal the cop goes oh well sir im sorry i delayed you two, after he walks away my brother looks at me and goes " be happy in 2 months you can pull the saaaame BS, but it takes a fine talent to get out of a ticket" haha

Re: What the luckest you've been?

I never got pulled over doing anything dumb, I only pull over in my truck cause it's always for something dumb like a inspection sticker (and my cousin is a local cop so they don't do anything.. one time the captain of the department took my expired "pink DMV paper" and stuck it on my windshield and told me that now his guys most likely won't pull me over). Well one time I was doing a burnout in a local town during the day, local cop comes from the opposite side of the road, pulled next to me and shook his head.

When I was really little my dad took his 87 Grand National out onto the highway, he had a beer in between his legs (he wasn't drunk, he had an open beer and he wanted to finish it) and got randomly stopped at a DUI stop. Cops came up to the window, my dad still had the beer completely visible between his legs. Cop shines the light at the beer, smiles at my dad and tells him "You have a very nice car, it's what I want when I retire". Lucky lucky lucky.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

i got one. a couple of weeks ago i was behind a civic coming home. we came to a car in front and we both went out to pass him. we both opened up the throttle and i was gonna pass him too when i saw police lights. i saw the motorcycle cop and he waved like "slow down" so i did. and he pulled out, pulled the civic over, and gave me a wave as i drove by. i don't think cops like hondas.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

I got 3 equally lucky ones. 2 while I was driving, 1 while I was the lucky passenger.

When I wasn't driving, I was in my friend's '84 Monte Carlo SS w/383/TH350 and all that good stuff. We're on the way to the beach and we stop at a light, and some people in a lifted truck yell at us to do a burnout, so my friend smoked out the intersection pretty good. The light goes green (we had only stopped spitting rubber for about 2 seconds before it changed), and as we roll through the intersection, there's a state trooper sitting in the opposing left turn lane. How we didn't get pulled over I'll never know. Not to mention we were cruising with a '99 Z28 and an '88 Formula. Wonder who did that burnout.

2nd was when I was actually at the beach. I made a right turn onto the main road out of our hotel parking lot. Mind you my right blinker doesn't exactly work (loose steering column) so I have to manually move the stick to make the light blink (front bulb still won't light up, only the rear). I pass by a state trooper and he pulls out and flicks his lights on. I pull off onto a side street thinking he saw me turn without my blinker lighting up. I wasn't about to tell him I had a loose steering column. I roll my window down and he only asks for the registration. Then he leans in the window, and looks at my friend, who I now notice isn't wearing a seatbelt and says "let me see HIS license". I just laughed. Freakin priceless.

Lastly, I was on the highway one time and I was flying. I don't even know how fast I was going, but it was definetely faster than I should have been. At least 30 over. I come over a hill and there's another state trooper (its always a state trooper, isn't it?). I slam on the brakes to slow down and didn't even look over at him. He never pulled out. I pulled into a gas station to fill up, and when I left I drove back the opposite direction not thinking about it. As I drove by him, he had someone else pulled over. I looked and realized that the cop was my friend's brother, and that he probably recognized my car and let me slide. That woulda been a hefty ticket.

Of course the fact that my friend had an '85 Z28 at one time probably helped too

Re: What the luckiest you've been?

Up to this point I've never been pulled over for racing or speeding really really fast. I got a speeding ticket a few years ago for doing 96 in a 60 zone, in my Jeep, but so far in my Z I've been good. I think it's cool to race & speed for fun but there are alot of things to consider when doing so. But I got pulled over for doing 93 in a 70 zone down in Georgia a few years ago but the cop gave me a warning after he saw that I was a combat veteran. He asked me what I think he should do & I said that I was speeding, so I have to take whatever you give me. Then I got pulled over a few months ago for supposedly doing 14 over but I was only doing 8mph over 60mph. The female cop was rude but I got that ticket fixed. My speedo is off by 5-8mph, so whenever I'm doing let's say 60 I'm actually doing 65 to 68.

Re: What the luckiest you've been?

Not sure if this counts but a little BS story...
I was driving my 91 Trans Am vert back in October on some windy road in the woods somewhere probably in Burlington, CT. Naturally I was going a bit faster than normal, going around those curves is fun as hell. I drive up a blind hill and once I reach the top I see some electrical pole repair crew on my side of the road not too far away. I overreacted and slammed on the brakes, locking up the front tires and sending a good amount of smoke out. Turns out there was a cop there too and he gets out of his car and stands in the middle of the road and gives me the "pull over" look. I did and he asked me why I did that. I just said "Uh... I hit the brakes too hard by mistake?" and he just "Ok just be careful next time" and let me go. I had to turn around a 1/4 mile later on that same street and slowly passed by the repair crew and the cop again... just a tad awkward.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

lol, ok. so i had my camaro for like a week, stupid me still hadn't got it insured yet. I had insurance on my other car which i THOUGHT covered any vehicle I drove for up to 30 days....turns out I had to report the vehicle to them for it to count..whoops so anyways. my battery died at work and I had my brother come jump me. he came in my toyota corolla ( i know, of course they aren't fast) but my camaro was new and I hadn't really had any races, so in a hurry we both left, playing around down the street with little pulls here and there, and we finally get to the straight away home. the speed limit was 35, we were going about 60 when we passed a cop on the other side of the road. Sure enough I see his tail lights in my mirror and he flips one and comes after me. I'm freaking out now thinking I'm gonna lose my new car for illegal street racing, so I slowed down to speed limit. Yep, there are his lights now, my brother passes me and keeps going, and I pull over expecting the worst...the officer comes up and says, do you know why I pulled you over? I lied and said no lol, he says, well....did you notice your headlights arent on? .................................................... "WHOOPS SORRY OFFICER NOPE I SURE DIDNT, I LEFT WORK IN SO MUCH OF A HURRY I MUST HAVE FORGOT" he said that was understandable everyone wants to go home, but dont let it happen again...he took my lic. and registration, found out I wasn't insured and I got a nice big ticket for that lol. But at least I still have my car

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Haven't had too many bad instances. The only one i remember well was last summer i was on my way home and there's a stretch of road that has hills in it(quick hills) up, down, up, down, etc. for about 30 secs(big enough to hide a Chevy 3500) I'm coming into one and my radar detector is quiet like usual and all the sudden i see lights about to break the top of the hill coming towards me and my Detactor goes nuts! I am doing about 70ish so i slam on the breaks and hit 60 just as he passes me. I look in my mirror and i see him pull over to start a u-turn and then he just pulls back into the road and keeps going the same direction. Made me nervous! lol I figured maybe his radar didn't get a definate speed so he didn't bother...

Re: What the luckest you've been?

yeah, I dont know I've had cops follow behind me after speeding, but its like if I'm not speeding once they're behind me they really don't pull me over. lack of proof? or luck? I don't know. Any officers out there care to comment how that works?

Re: What the luckest you've been?

OK for the quick back story I moved from my moms to my dads in a different city an hour away and I still wore the old letterman's when I was not at school. Also it is in the middle of the winter and my car has no heat. The car i had at the time was 94 camaro that had an exhaust so it was already a cop magnet. I was hurrying one night to drop a off a movie so I didnt have the pay the stupid late fees. After I turned at an inersection I kinda gun it and take off. I notice a county cop on the other side of the road and I am like ha your on the other side of the road and keep going quickly so I dont freeze. I hurry in and out of the parking lot and gun it again. Well apparently this about the time he finds me again but he is an suv so he doesnt keep up. After a few minutes I get back on my street and half way down I notice that this suv is flying around the corner but I think nothing of it. When I pull in my drive he is still two three block away but now he hits the lights and I just realized he been trying to follow me. I sit there freaking out because I had been going at least 20-25 over the limit in the middle of town on more than one street, slid aroud he few corners since it was a lil slick, only had one plate on my car and I also ran stop sign on my street like normal. He pulls behind and gets out and asks for the usual. When he comes back he why in the hell i was driving so crazy. Then he says i had you going at least 45 on this street and its only a 30. I know I had been speeding and i didnt try to deny it. I did respond saying I thought it was a 35 and that I had been at my mom's in bethalto and was up visiting my father and was hurrying since I had no heat. My lincense still said I lived with her and i guess he believed it or didnt care. He gave me everything back and just gave me a verbal warning. I was like holy **** did that just happen.

Re: What the luckest you've been?

Alright, this is still freash in my mind. I am cruising down 664 towards Va Beach. I was looking at a nice Harley and pulled up with him, then I noticed it was a police bike. I looked down and I was doing 76 in a 55. The cop looked at me and put his arm out like, helloooooo im here! I just looked laughed and slowed up and he sped off.

/agree

There's stops like that all over here in Ontario too. Rediculous.
