Default Got Pulled Over for Speeding

I have been pulled over a few times before and its the same shit everytime. Please step out of the vehicle, end up with a ticket, and deal with traffic school, etc. I am 28 and I don't think 4 tickets is too bad, but would rather use the money for something else.

I always did the same thing ...... pretended I didn't know what I did, answered with "the flow of traffic" and it never got me anywhere .... i always got a ticket .....

i was driving in west boca ... ( west on yamato and right turn at 441 ) at 10 pm on tuesday night. For people who dont know anything about Boca cops, they have nothing to do. Everytime i drive at night they are usually sitting at a gas station or empty parking lot talking with each other .....

The guy pulls me over for not stopping and yielding at the red light when i made the right turn and also for going 70 in a 45. The first thing he tells me is.... it seems like you are in a rush, if you are I can help you out ... "i was thinking the whole time (is this a trick question ??)

He asked me when I got my last ticket (4 years) .... what was it for (speeding) ... his response was "thats a surprise". After I admitted that I shouldn't have been speeding and making that right turn and how he was right ... he sort of calmed down a little bit.... he still ran my license to make sure everything was alright ....

His next question was when I graduated from UF and i was like 07 ....... he went to UF from 96 to 99. We cracked a few jokes about how he was lucky to have Spurrier as a football coach since i got stuck with Ron Zook for a few years. So I guess that $25 annual fee for the alumni gator plate paid off for me at the end ... got me out of the ticket.

Now i can use that money on springs .... i don't speed often but i guess when i did the other night i got caught .....

doesn't happen often man, but that's sweet. Goes to show you and other people that when it comes to the Police, not ALL are bad guys.

Nice story, but please, leave those springs for integras/civis/preludes and get a proper set of coil overs, S2000 man, it's a real sportscar, needs real suspension parts, otherwise keep stock.

Even used coilovers are dirt cheap, look for them.

+2 for the coil overs
The spings are a weak way to go. the shock are gonna go bad SOON. then your cars gonna run like poo. So do it right the first time


ps: I never get tickets
