You are more likely to win the lottery than to get a speeding ticket.. I saw your driving on youtube..

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
Hey, I got a tug for a faulty fuse, not for speeding!!! Non the less I prolly was being a bit of a tit when I slagged you for speeding. Now I know you better I feel....well, not bad exactly lol. You must have caught me on a bad night

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
i got pulled over 3 times in one month. the first time i was speeding at 45 in a 30 zone but it was the middle of the night and nobody was on the road. apart from a TAG van, which dont usually stop traffic. She said if she was a traffic bobby i would have got a ticket but instead she gave me a producer. Second two times were in salford (near rockly for the benefit of silly sod) after pickin 'somethin' up but both times i got a producer. I been driving for almost 3 years and never had a ticket or points on my card.
B astards only pulled me over cos i got a shaved head... police in US might be polite but all the ones i came into contact with in UK have been nasty people.

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
I bit the bullet and got one for this last ticket. I had been good for the last two years but I figure if I get a ban I'll move state, play the 'fresh off the boat immigrant" and get another licence. I figure if I do this through all 48 states by the time I get back to NY my licence will be clean again.
lol think you need to change your user name to "Leadfoot".

Re: My First Pull (driving that is)
In 4 years I've been pulled over about 10 or 12 times. All for speeding except on time the trooper wanted to put a dog in my car to check for drugs. Ive had a total of 8 points and Im expecting another two next month. Ive paid over $1000 in fines and $400 in radar detectors which have probably saved me my licence and another $1000 in fines.
Yes, the troopers are usually very polite and courteous and love to hear the accent as they bend me over and **** me in the ass for another ticket for being 10 or 15mph over the limit.

Whats a good radar detector to get for reasonable money... should i avoid the $100 ones? Just picked up my new TT and dont want to hike my insurance already!

Having said that..I'd have been banned 2 years ago without it.
