Thread: My first encounter with the Highway Patrol

Brian when you were a kid if you walked in the street you were concious of the fact YOU were in the road. Todays kids don't & don't care. They have no sence of right or wrong. When you or I screwed up the old man would bust your butt and that would be it. Today the old man can't bust the kids but or he can be up on child ABUSE charges. I realy beleave all the do gooders are the ones that should be up on child abuse charges as they are F**^%$g up the next generation.

Yep---I agree

We take my freinds Chevell to buy a lottery ticket each week. Passed a couple of cops looking hard at us but no hassel as we are older and were not going to fast, on the way back the cops stopped us to look at the car and said we probably should take the wheelie bars off. We forgot they were on as it was late getting back the night before and we backed the car in.

my last court date was a few years back . I was going to work one morn and a fellow worker in a probe was going to pass on the right. I was driving a 99 150 with a chip so needless to say i pushed it down . We hit about 100 (in a 45) but open road. I hit the binders slowing to our turn was coming up and a cop was coming toward us. Him still on the side was never seen . I hit the pedal one mile to work and got stuck at the gate when she (woman cop) caught me. She said didnt you see me i said no i wasn't looking behind . In court first cases we dismissed for officers weren't in court, When she called me up judge says to whoever it was get the officer in here now. Well the long wait resulted in a 77 in a 45 zone and a $105 ticket and one year supervision. Was glad turn was coming up or she would have made the grade that morn .

I'm running a Superchip Program in my 04 truck now .

You shouldn't be doing 100 MPH because a piece of crap probe was passing you. No need to show that you are faster than him, should have let him pass and go on and get caught by himself.

When I was about 16 the county had freshly paved a section of hi-way.
Well my friends dad was a local contractor and us kids that night took a rolling tape and rolled it from a truck and marked off 1/4 mile.
We painted the square just like you see on the hi-way you know the ones that the "bear in the air " can check your speed with and then radio down to a guy in a car to then pull you over.
We thought we where very clever.
Later that night we went back and there was a whole group of cars and it was being busted by some State Troppers.
We went back home and got a differnt car the old junk Chevette.
More than a half hour went by and the troppers where still giving out tickets.
No one raced there for at least a month.
I also would like to say I don't condone street racing of any type or kind.
Hey,I was only 16.

Mr. Fisher I couldnt agree more this is one of my favorite soap boxes to stand on. The thing is I got bum knee right now and it's an awfull taaaalllll box. So I guess that I will spare the sermon I imagine being sunday some have already heard on for today.
And hey erik in the great (greaty begrudged) comonwealth of virginia they used to impound your car and you didnt go and just pick it up. Well you could after you won the bid on it at a open public auction. Yep they used to configate your ride and then auction it off and if you didnt out bid the other guy tuff luck. and they also gave you the ticket and depending on how hard you were to catch you got to spend the night in the can. Hmm, another one of those hard lessons.
