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.

      ESPN’s recent grades has Charlotte with a B. I haven’t paid attention to any others really.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
