    I was pulled over last week for an expired inspection on my weekend car-- a a '68 Bentley. I will pay the $35 fine on Monday.

    A few years ago, I was pulled over by the same rookie cop at the same intersection on 4 consecutive nights. The stop bar is about 40' in front of the stop sign. If you pull up to stop sign, you get pulled over. He is simply looking for drunks. I was coming home from a poker game each night at 3:00.

    Got pulled over a couple weeks ago.

    Two freeways merge and the right white stripe on the left freeway comes to a point with the left white stripe on the right freeway. This is called the "gore point". I was merging from the right. The traffic in my lane was almost stopped and there was no one in the lane to the left of me back for about 1/4 of a mile so I cut over the line.

    Got pulled over about 2 miles later by an unmarked car. The cop asked me "are you aware that you can't cut over like that?" I told him I didn't want to say anything that might incriminate me.

    I got a letter in the mail a week later stating that the charges were dropped because the infraction started in City A and ended in City B. The problem is that these 2 cities aren't even connected.

    You're not at all likely to get nailed for that but it is accurate info. I hate those cover plate things that hide the numbers and get cloudy.....I'd pull a car over for that, if I was copper. I'd let the snow-blocked plate slide, though...that cover won't last long, not going to bust balls over that when it snowed just yesterday.

    1995 BS illegal right on red in a snowstorm in Southfield Michigan. Was in Windsor, Canada on EasterEve. Amazingly, I was the designated driver and was actually sober. Cop made me walk the line, blow the breathalyzer and everything at 4 am. Was let go but my hyena friends were not making it easy.

    2am pullovers are for potential DUIs and parolees; that is the only reason he pulled you over.

    if you want, take a picture of it from where you have to stop, and fight the ticket and you will get out of it

    Many years ago....A cop caught me on radar doing 98mph in a 50mph zone.

    Lost my license for two weeks for that offense.

    seems fairly lenient IMO !

    98 is pretty fast on an interstate highway tagged at 65-70 , then you're in a 50 zone.

    Not in this situation. Everything was clear, nothing blocked, one inch holder very basic. I learned something that day. My current car has no plate holder at all.

    I believe you 100%. I just use the standard srews, nuts and bolts , no cover plate plastic BS. I think you know what I mean about those plastic covers ? I'd never use one.

    i was going 90 in a 45 on my motorcycle. went up a hill and down the other side, a cop was in the median facing me i can see he had a radar gun. he didn't even pull out when i past. not sure if the motorcycle is not big enough to catch the radar so he didn't know exactly how fast i was going or if he figured i'd be too long gone by the time he made the u-turn.

    i've had my motorcycle up to 140 one time, had more to give it but i ran out of road. i live in the washington DC area, not a lot of good roads and there are always too many other cars around. This was on the Yamaha R6. i also have a Harley Softail, but i've only had that up to 100, it's chopped out and not really made for speed.
