biggest almost ticket I got was in Evanston Wyoming. I got stopped for 155 in a 65. I passed a State trooper in a ditch (5.0 mustang) and never saw him. About 3 miles later I passed another mustang with his lights on. I slowed down and stopped because it was closed to one lane ahead. Long story short they let me go but I had to pay the fine right there. 300 bucks cash but it never showed up on my record.

I got stopped for 116 in a 65 and got let of with a verbal warning! all of a sudden some explorer got up on my a** (i was doin about 72 )so i got pissed and kicked it down. he started to fall back right away (mind i was drivin my 94 SHO, oh yea powered by YAMMI! 220 ponies:yesnod ) well at about 115 or so the explored decided to let me know he was a cop and lit me up. SHIT! i pull over and tell him how dumb i was, and he goes "well i clocked you at 72, but then you just kicked it down) i said yea i thought you were some cager tryin to ride my a** HAHA he came back to my car after runing my lic. and gave me a verbal warning.

I once got pulled over for doing a wheelie @ over 130mph. It was on a 3 mile stretch of straight highway no on or off ramps. I had my license and reg out as well as proof of ins when he got to me. As he got close to me I held out all the info and he just came over and took a kick at my bike and tried to push me off of it without saying a word. Then he took a swing at me. He was going for my chest and I dropped my head and he hit the top of my helmet. I think he might have broken his hand cause he just started yelling and screaming obscenitys. It was at this time that another officer ran over to him and subdued him. Apparently another car had pulled up right after the first one and neither if us saw it. It turned out to be his captain and another officer. I got off the bike and took off my helmet and all of a sudden the first officer broke down. It seems he had caught his wife sleeping with a guy the day before who rode a bike just like mine and he thought it was me. I felt real bad for the guy cause that would be a real hard thing to deal with. I thought about pressing charges but after hearing about how he lost his job and was looking at loosing any visits with his kids due to his recent behavior I just couldn't due any more to the guy. Plus he didn't really do any damage to the bike or me.

I've only got one ticket on a bike, and that's only cause the cop got close enough to see my plate before i noticed him(unmarked impala) anyway he had me for speeding at 130km/h in a 60, while pullin a wheelie,while lane splitting, and changing lanes without using my non-existent blinkers. After he pulled me over he said "you better have a damned good excuse for pullin shit like that on the street", and i just said "no sir, i just haven't ridden in a couple of weeks and im kinda excited". He went back to his car and came back with an imprudent driving ticket for $150.00, then he said "im lettn you off easy cause you didn't bullshit me".

Fleeing and attempting to elude,wreckless driving, speeding, running a red light, failure to yield to emergency vehicle. All in the same night, then I spent the night in jail.
How much in fines that end up being? Also any felonys involved?? :D

I've only been stopped twice. Both times in my car. Never on a bike. 1st time was for a burnt out head light(verbal warning). The 2nd was for going 66 in a 30. Just to give u all some background. It was on this road in the middle of no-where. As long as I can remember it was always in horrible shape well they paved it this past summer. Road is straight as an arrow so I figured I'd have some fun. Had it over 100 at one point. Well I thought i was going to jail. But since I have a spotless record and my family is well known in town, he gave me a wriitten warning for 48 in a 30. :D

$483 for both my buddy and I. So they made $966 off of us.
The cop was a miserable bitch, who didn't lean the slightest and thought she was the cat's ass.
We were even slowing down a lot as she clocked us. :butt

No ticket anyone here has received will be as bad as the one that a gas tanker truck driver got here in South Florida last Friday night.

This driver had just filled his truck with several thousand gallons of fuel, and while taking an onramp turn too fast, his truck overturned and crushed a car that was driving next to him.

The truck burst into flames, turning three people in the car into ashes. They were so completely burned that the medical examiner couldn't figure out at first how many people had been in the car.

A fourth person in the car managed to escape the wreckage, and covered in flames, jumped into a nearby pond. Unfortunately, he died a short time later in the hospital.

What is crazy is that me and four friends were riding around the different ramps on this interchange (there aren't any other twisties around here) just minutes before this accident happened!

Anyway, the driver of the truck was injured, though not badly enough. Apparently he had received a large number of tickets over recent years, including tickets for speeding.

On tv they were interviewing a tanker driver and he said that their trucks are governed at 65 mph, which is nonsense. I've paced tanker trucks on I-95 at over 80 mph!
