speeding tickets and the z.......

Doesn't matter what State, Country, Province, Island or Colony I'm in.

They will never catch me riding dirty.
 
Gauss I apologise if this is out of line but what does this mean? Do you have a Z4 or a different car, or what? I'm not getting the punchline here. :?
 
You guys are bad luck! Got my first one since 2003 tonight... 52 in a 35. I was honestly surprised, I would have guessed maybe 45. Top down, not paying attention, country road. Dang it!

So here's a theoretical question: I was clocked within 100 yards of one of those radar speed signs which was facing the moving bike as it clocked me. You don't suppose that there is any documented evidence of interference affecting the operation? Long shot, I know.

First one since 2003 and that's GOOD?

So Rosie, are you implying that a ticket every 4 years is a bit too often? I'm just happy to have had an entire year with a clean record!

Licence is kept despite 82mph road offence
Jul 21 2007
by Laura Wright, South Wales Echo

A BUSINESSMAN with a sports car has escaped a driving ban despite speeding at more than 30mph over the limit.

Raymond Dickens, 60, was driving a BMW Z4, which has a personalised number plate, at 82mph in a 50mph zone.

After pleading guilty to speeding on the A473 near Coychurch, Bridgend, he said: “I hadn’t been to Bridgend in some time and I thought it was a national speed limit, though I accept 82 was not in that limit either and that’s why I pleaded guilty.”

Bridgend Magistrates Court heard that Dickens had been caught speeding twice before, more than three years ago.

Dickens, an insurance broker, of Well Road, East Aberthaw, added: “Unfortunately I’m exposed to speeding cameras because of the time I spent in a motor car.”

Dickens was fined £500 with £50 court costs and given six penalty points on his licence.

The scariest was in France cruising along when a car in the opposite direction flashing vigorously with his headlights made me slow down,
Flashing headlight as a warning is now illegal in Pennsylvania and the State Police have actually set-up stings to target and fine drivers that flash their headlights as a warning. The violation is improper use of headlights.... :headbang:
I never quite get that ... you're just telling a driver he's driving too fast. It's a safety warning. If someone was driving down a one-way street the wrong way, would it be illegal to point this out to them?
 
None yet.....but that doesn't mean it ain't coming....That's why I always wear my flyboy mask when I drive,and have a Buffet CD at the ready 8)

um...YEAH!!! Try at least one decade...i've gone more then one...

Just got the bill and i can breathe again it was only $145, I was expecting $300 or so. I may take driver school and get it erased...and thus keep my clean record.......sorry Roady.

I would flash people except that in Vegas the norm is 10mph over the speed limit. EXCEPT in a school zone! But I think that's universal. Hell yellow lights here mean speed up quick! You come quite close to getting rear ended if you try to stop for a yellow light.
Oh speeding tickets. Well I haven't gotten one since germany (almost 2 years) and that from a stationary camera on an exit. Side note, in germany if your on the autobahn and there is a speed limit sign, there probably is a camera or speed trap right around it.
 
2 weeks ago, I tested out of the driving school and supposedly no longer have the point against me. I'll follow up to make sure it gets properly removed.

Anyone want advice on the school, take it on line, its so nice to do things while you spend 8 hours taking the chapter tests etc.

Wouldn't THAT be nice to be able to satisfy traffic school online. Orange County doesn't allow it :x I think we are the only county in the country that is holding out. In short, don't get a speeding ticket in the OC...let 'em chase you to LA. Then again, that brings its own consequences :guns:
 
My wife is now calling speeding tickets performance awards too! Last week she was pulled over in her E91 and was issues a "performance warning". LOL.
 
155mph, how did she manage getting off with a warning. I was wearing a short skirt, little top and am blonde, course it was midnight, so maybe he couldn't see, and this is assuming that this should have HELPED get me off. But I STILL got a ticket.

What exactly did she have to do to get off with a warning...or would she not tell you? LOL!!!
