Can you imagine that. 8000 miles in a GT and the one and only time I go over the speed limit I get a ticket. 68 in a 50. Open road - no issue. Just isn't fair. :biggrin Stinking radar hiding off the side.

i got pulled over the first week I got mine, but thankfully the cops were more interested in looking the car over then they were in giving me a ticket, so I got a warning.:wink

sorry to hear about your bad luck, but at 8000 miles it was bound to happen. Mathematically speaking its just a matter of time.:biggrin

Just so you know...here (Cali) we get to take 'Traffic School' to drop the ticket off your record. You can do this every 18 (???? somebody step in here please) months (btwn tickets). You can even take the class online.

In Chicago when i drive in the city cops will deliberately turn around (esp unmarked crown vics) to see if they can get me on a violation. I usually spot them and park someplace for a while till they get bored and leave.

I have yet to get pulled over though...knock on wood!

This duth illustrate the pure GENIUS of Pocket's 'Perpetually Parked Policy'.

'CAN'T get a ticket...speeding or otherwise! AND! There's the extra added benefit of knowing one's car will ALWAYS be a "low miler"! ...A very CLEAN, totally blemish free, "origional factory condition", low miler! :lol

(Here it comes............)

My first (and only, so far) ticket in my car was for XXmph OVER the current national speed limit...:eek and yes, I was in fact slowing down when I sailed through the beam.

I've been a little more careful since then.:thumbsup

edit: changed my mind about posting the excess of my violation, but it was 'significantly' over the limit.

I wish. Unfortunately some of us have annual traditions in which we donate to the local police in several surrounding states. :lol
