Mine also are too numerous to mention though my first ticket was for spinning wheels. I had just gotten my first ride, 55 ford f-100, 100 miles per case of oil. Backed it up against a light pole in the parking lot of a Crown station and smoked the tires off and a state trooper watched the whole thing and wrote me up...I was sixteen and cried like the baby I was. Last ticket was three years ago; 79 in a 50 zone, big money ticket and 2 points, state trooper! All the other stuff in between was nightmarish and I prefer to leave it buried. My license was suspended/revoked nearly a dozen times for excessive speed, dui, racing, failure to surrender tags, altering a drivers license, riding wheelies, car wrecks and on and on. Getting older has it's perks such as a dwindling supply of testosterone!!

now im going to screw my self
i havent had a ticket in 15 years now
80 in a 55 ok several speeding dont recall them all that was an expensive one
speed in excess of double the limit
waste of natural resource (doing 110 in montana years ago)
a couple of reckless drivings
and a couple of exhibition of speed kinda hard to get out of that one when you blow both rear tires and your fenders are covered with smoking rubber)
i got a warning for 85 in a 55 (bad day i saw the cop turning around and pulled over before the lights were on yes officer i know why you stopped me i was probably doing around 80 well you took all the fun out of it so ill give you a warning)
ran into a cop i know and he asked if i had the firebird out on the highway last night ummm no why do you ask
he said you were doing 148
and had i been caught im sure i would have had a couple of evading
portland for thanksgiving one year after i got to grandmas house they were talking about chasing a car down the highway i thought i saw bubble gums and pulled off and sure enough they said they lost the car some where around where i got off
and then there was the time i turned off the lights and flipped the brake light switch and went off into a farm field at night(replace the fuse for the brake light with spade terminals put an in line fuse and then a switch and back to the other side of the fuse block)

That was an experience. Ever notice when you're the one driving it's not so bad, but ride along doing the same crap and it's terrifying? lol Maybe that's just me, but I never have liked being the passenger for that stuff. |

yeah would kill all the lights but my fog/driving lights were on there own circut so they could be on for a bit
you just got to have a good engouh lead when you kill the lights that they dont see a reflection when you drive off into a farm field or down a lane into the woods

This reminds me... on a test ride earlier, the town cop went by (I'm just out of his jurisdiction) so I revved the hell out of it and he gave me a dirty look. I dunno why, but that amuses the hell out of me. I haven't done it too much with the newest ones, but I've tried my best to annoy some past officers. My favorite sorta recent one was when the town hall was moving. The police station was on a side street, in a little office. It was warm out and the cop car was there and the front door was open. It's such a small place that the cop had to be essentially next to the door. So I slow down to about 5MPH and then floor it right in front of the door. This was in the truck. It's slow, but it does have an exhaust that happens to aim in that direction. The cop runs out the front door as I'm "speeding" away and runs into the road. I kept on truckin'. I had a friend with me then. He said, "Dude, what is wrong with you?" I said, "I dunno, but it's hilarious" as we rode off laughing. If I catch 'em filling up with gas or in any position where they can't just hop in and get me I'll pipe 'em. I saw one about 3 years ago I guess, getting gas. I was in the old 4.6L Lincoln Town Car. Dropped it down to 1st and hopped by. Now if I'm in the Mustang, I lay off the gas and avoid them because that car is a book full of inspection tickets. So yeah, I guess I'm a jerk, but no one is getting hurt and I'm ...till they get me anyway. I think it's my little taste of revenge for the insurance premiums I'm stuck with. |

yeah when i got the firebird out if i know where one is sitting in town i will scream by in first gear
open headers and all but the joy of it is i know the police chife and he will look up and just shake his head at me knowing i have a hard time growing up
the joy of the 2 towns by me are the fact that they each ony have 2 cops a chief and an officer and i know the chifes in both of them
there was one night i can stagering out of the bar to my truck i was just messing around in the passanger side door at bar close and ron sneaks up behind me
joe you werent planning on driving home where you
and what did ron do give me a ride home instead of waiting till i got in and turned the key to give me a dui

lol I def don't know these cops. We're the same though, 2 cops total. Our cops just sit around the gas station/Subway (restaurant, not the train station lol) or back at the town hall. Sometimes they're both on duty at the same time... and I have no idea what they can find to do?
"I'll take a cold cut w/mayo... gotta make sure this food ain't tainted." "10-4. I'm inspecting the leather chair and A/C in the town hall. Call me if you can't finish that sub test."

LOL, yes we do feed the cops at Subway alot. I've quoted several times, "don't mess with the one who feeds you" (apparently the X thought for years I was gonna poison him) I like to think we have an understanding  |
