Sedan_Clan, earlier I asked you about your opinion on traffic doing/going under the speed limit whenever they see a marked police vehicle on the road and IIRC it annoys you which is understandable as it disturbs the flow of traffic.
Today on the highway a cruiser was driving on the left lane doing the speed limit (55) with a line of cars behind (3 lanes). He moves over to the right and merges onto another highway that I’m getting on as well. This highway now has two lanes and he’s on the right lane going the speed limit (70). I’m about 2 cars back so I proceed to pass. On this highway I do 80 and have been clocked by troopers w/o getting pulled over. So as I’m passing this officer (75), he immediately gets into the left lane and turns his lights on. I pull over, lower my window and he approaches asking for the normal paperwork. This is how it went down: Officer: can you explain why you would ever pass a marked police vehicle? Me: ?????? (I’m thinking he must be in a bad mood or bored). Me: you were doing 70 in a 70 and I passed you going 75. Officer: so you admit you were speeding. Me: yes at 5 mph. I know it’s a major offense (sarcasm). Officer: this constitutes a $250 ticket. Me: ???? (I just stared and nodded my head up/down) Officer: do you want a $250 ticket? Me: no, I’m good. Officer: take care and please don’t pass marked police vehicles. |

You don't see that much around here. Normally if someone wants to evade a toll, they'd drive onto the toll road with a paper dealer plate. Now that California no longer uses dealer plates, that method would garner attention.

Wow. My first ex wife was blond, and my second ex wife was brunette......the current bride is arctic blonde.....and beautiful. When we started dating she used to colour her hair all the time, and it changed a lot. She was brunette when I met her and showed up on our first date with touches of electric blue, I recall my favourite was her "tribute to autumn", it had a lot of red's in it......it's all good.

Okay, so I confess I speed. Who doesn't? What's an acceptable over the limit mph? 5-10 range okay?
I hate when everyone is scared to pass the cop who's cruising in the lane next to us I'll go right by him and be going 5 mph faster than him. Unless he's in pursuit that is lol. |

You can "spoil" a ticket once you've started to write it. The police have discretion to lay or not lay charges and they can change their mind once they start writing, although I'd suggest that once they start to write you up it's because they have made up their mind to. I always looked at it as "does this person need a ticket", getting charged has ramifications for the person getting the ticket, insurance and the cost of the fine or cost to fight it. That might be the grocery money for a family for a week or more so do they need the ticket or the break, which will have more impact. If you scare them by stopping them and then warn them they might learn a lesson, have a better view of the police and grocery money for their kids....some folks need to get strapped on though.

So all of my toys have made great noise but I have very little tolerance for guys that go out of their way to piss folks off with loud exhausts that get cracked on side streets. etc.
