Correct me if I'm wrong but NO one on this post has said they had given someone a ticket for being 2mph over...(someone did say the reason to stop could be 2mph over ). Dont be too quick to jump on someone's back and call him a Dick. Get the facts first.

 

I really don't understand what saying "I'm sorry" to the LEO has to do with it. Like it's an offense to him that I was speeding? If that's the case, then it sounds like a personal grudge and I should have similar leverage in court. BTW, I have never, ever, ever gone over the speed limit with my scooter.


Really!

 

When I get pulled over by Johnny law I pucker up and kiss as much *** as he wants.The one time I recently got out of a ticket for about 15 over I just said " man I know I wasn't payin' attn. and looked when I saw you" He said have a nice day and slow down.

 

That one has worked for me as well!

 

Get stopped a couple of times a year.....yet to get but qa warnin. Generally tell the truth and treat the law manwith the same respect he shows me. talk if talked to and smile. hell i got hit by a couch that came of fthe back of a pickup in front of me after leaving a bar and the officer asked if i was drinking said yes with lunch at a place down the road. he smiled said nice piece of riding as he saw the skid marks and told me to stop for a coffee at the next diner. i did and he walked in so i bought him a java as well. now i ride with him a couple of times a year......


no **** just be yourself

 

I just tell him........ I just shot my wife and gotta hurry to get this heroin to the dealer before my parole officer finds out,and I only have 2 min's left on the alarm on the ankle braclet.. works every time!

 

I generally ride 5-10 mph over the posted limit and have never been stopped and I have passed many a speed trap at such speeds. An AZ HyProl even passed me once as I was doing 65 in a 55 zone without his lights or siren. I guess they don't much bother big touring machines around here but I have seen bunches of Wannabe Knee Dragers pulled over every weakend.

 

I stopped a speeder once and when I asked him why he was going so damn fast he told me that his wife ran away with a cop last week and he thought I was bringing her back...

 

DDDeepdiver,

I think you may be slightly misinformed on the "You now have to be at least 5 miles an hour over the speed limit to get a ticket in Fl. The state passed that law largely due to these towns on 301 ticketing drivers for a couple miles over the speed limit......"

I believe it is FHP and FDOT policy (not law) that prohibits the LEO's from pulling you over and ticketing for less than 5. additionally, I believe they can still pull you over forsome other safety infraction and then hit you with a 3 MPH speeding ticket. I don't believe the local yokels in Lawtey, Hampton, Waldo, and etc conform to the state LEO's 5 mphpolicy.

and Ithink the 5 MPH thing only flys for highways and highwayspeeds. I wouldn't try doing 19 MPH in that 15 MPH school zone or 34 in a residential 30 mph zone either.............
