Getting pulled over is just a given.. depending on the area you live in.
When I had my 96 Vette, I was always getting pulled over. I think just because you drive a "Hot" car the cops assume you're going to do something wrong so they follow you watcing for you to do something wrong.
I got a ticke for "Improper Stop" at a stop sign... WTF!... I didn't run the stop sign.. and I did stop... I guess the cop just didn't like HOW I stopped!
Another for "Improper Lane Usage".... he said I pulled into a left hand turn too early and too quickly.
The rest of the time they just wanted to see if they could give me a ticket for not having my insurance card (busted me twice on that because I would accidently drop it between the seat and the console haveing to continually dig it out for the cops... OR they pull you over to look at the car but didn't want to say "Hey, I just pulled you over because I want to look at your car!".
I'm hoping to get my GT in Jan or Feb of next year, I can see myself getting pulled over quite a bit.
I'm going to tint the windows too, so that'll probably be another reason for the cops to pull me over.
I've been kinda noided lately at the amount of cops that end up drop jawed staring at my car...
In the past whenever the po-po has looked at me like that, it meant I was about to be arrested for something...
I guess I enjoy the appreciation of the stare... much better than being locked up...
And no, I haven't been pulled over yet... there were a few times I should have been... but I'm guessing the cop was either too busy looking at my car to care... or the cop was being a nice guy and figured the car was new and I was just getting used too it
(Yes, we actually have some nice cops round here) I once got stopped for having 3 inches of ice on the rear window of a Nova I used to own... the cops were VERY nice, scraped my window for me and told me to have a nice day... I was shocked...
1st ticket was speeding... 83 in a 65 on the NYS Thruway. I was going with the traffic flow I swear.
The other ticket was Saturday night. 200 feet from my driveway. He said I took the corner too fast and wrote me a ticket for - get this - "Inprudent speed"
All I did was accelerate from first to second. Did not break the 30 MPH speed limit... it's a residential neighborhood.
I have a jeep and a motorcycle as well and I don't get noticed in either. Besides the tickets I get a lot of cops follow me when I'm on the highway. Just annoying.
Maybe I should buy a flatbed, throw the Mustang on it, and drive the package around on the back of my Jeep. [8D]
Anybody getting pulled over often?
