When's the last time you got a driving citation?

On my way to work this morning (three minute commute) I was pulled for rolling through a stop sign, in my neighborhood.

 

 

I can't stop thinking about it and it pisses me off more each time I do. With the court cost the fine is $288.

 

 

Make me feel better by sharing your ticketing stories.

The last time I was stopped was about two years ago after taking my son to school... some lady was taking forever to turn left so I went around her on the right on a two lane road.  A deputy was 2 cars back and pulled me... he asked me what the hurry was and I told him there wasn't one, I just got tired of waiting...  he laughed and said don't do it again... and let me go.

 

 

The last time I got a ticket was 1996... I was speeding because I was tired and simply not paying attention... I was probably going about 62 in a 45 and he wrote it for 54 in a 45.

I got a speeding ticket back in March.  It was around 1am on a Wednesday night and I was on my way home from a gig.  This particular road turns into a highway after you cross over some railroad tracks, but before it crosses over it's 35MPH.  Right after you cross the tracks it's 60MPH.  I was going about 50 and almost made it to the tracks before I got pulled over.  Cop was just chilling under the bridge waiting for someone because EVERYONE speeds through that area.  He wanted me to be drunk so bad, gave me a field sobriety even though I was stone cold sober.

Yeah tickets are expensive and I would also have to listen to my wife bitch if I got one.

 

I try to keep it no more than 5 over and have had good success with that... plus I'm white.

 

 

I've had one "dick" cop pull me over... I was about 17 and he was about as asshole as you can get...  I was speeding and deserved the ticket but he was a jerk.

 

Out of the probably dozen times I've been pulled, I've gotten two tickets...

Yeah I've gotten out of at least 5-6 tickets in the past 10 years by sheer luck and kindness out of the officer.

I got an expired tag ticket two years ago. I got the ticket on the 3rd of the month....it had been expired for three days. But I renewed the tag and faxed in a copy if the registration to the da's office and it was dismissed.

Before that I had nothing since my DUI 8 years ago

One time in college I was showing off with a buddy in the car... got a wheel and took off and a cop pulled me... he could have got me for speeding, reckless, and probably several other things but he got a call to a gunshot or something right as he walked up to my window so he told me "if I see you again you're toast" so I gtfo of there.

2007 I think, speeding, went to the DA and got it under 10, and paid the fine. I've been pulled three times for speeding and I've never gotten away with a warning. I must not be doing it right.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
