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.

What a dick that officer is.

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.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
