Anyone from FL, besides me, having trouble getting tickets??

In 48 years of driving in nearly all the states i collected about 15 tickets.

Four years ago I mpved to FL and BINGO........I've had six tickets!!!!

I don't drive any different but the Sheriff's are all over the place down here.

Huh uh. Last ticket I had was in '85. But I always drive speed limit or under.

There was a time in my youth that I nearly accomplished that in a single month! Spent a lot of time in sitting in the DMV's special drivers ed class.

Knock on wood, I haven't had one in the past 5 years and never have gotten any traveling in Florida. South Carolina, uh-huh, but not Florida. Have heard that several of my relatives have become casual acquaintances with several of the Flordia troopers.

I'm like you Bob, in my early years I was always getting stopped. Between getting my license at 16 and my 18th birthday I lost my license 3 times, once for a year!!!! I'll tell you, walking for a year sure makes you think twice about speeding..............I never had another ticket till I was about 40, but that one could have been really bad. Entertained a customer at some watering holes till about 2 am and got stopped for 75 in a 50. Lucky part is the cop looked the other way regarding my "condition." I learned two lessons that night, not to speed and not to drink while driving. Why he let me go I still have no idea, but thankful he did.

Sounds to me like you're not having any trouble at all getting them........

No trouble getting them, BUT I'd like it to stop!!

Everytime I squeeze the throttle a little I get busted.

Maybe I've been a "kid" too long and my lucks run out.

Hmm! i hope your not calling them ticket writing nazi's to there face? it might have a lil to do with the current situation

I just wish they'd give a grey haired ol geezer in a Caddy the benefit of the doubt!!

TRANSLATION: I wished they'd believe at least one of my truth benders (lies).

stop speeding old man.

( Hey, i said it with love )

It also doesn't help if you tell them you don't want the ticket cuz you're not going to be there for the drawing, nor does "No thanks, I gave at the office" do you any good....

One final misadventure..... If the officer asks why you were speeding, DON'T tell him it's because you have a date with his wife and you're running about 5 minutes late to pick her up.....

I never really have liked cops, I guess.....

Ways To Piss Off A Cop When you get pulled over, say "What's wrong, ossifer, there's no blood in my alcohol?"
When he asks why you were speeding, tell him you wanted to race.
If he asks if you knew how fast you were going, say no, my speedometer only goes to......
Ask him where he bought his cool hat.
Pretend you are gay and ask him out.
When he says no, cry.
If he says yes, accuse him of sexual harassment.
If the cop is a woman, tell her how ugly she is, but in a nice way.
When he asks you to spread them, tell him you don't go that way.
When he puts the handcuffs on, say "Usually my dates buy me dinner first"
Ask to be fingerprinted with candy, cause you don't like ink on your fingers.
After you sign the ticket and give it to him, say "Oops! That's the wrong name."
Bribe him with donuts.
When he goes to read you your rights, sing "La La La, I can't hear you!"
Before you sign the ticket, pick your nose. You have to sign with his pen.
Chew on the pen, nervously.
Clean your ear with the pen.
If it's a click pen, take it apart and play with the spring.
Ask if he has a daughter. If he says yes, say I thought the name sounded familiar.....
When he comes up to your car, say I have a badge just like yours!
Ask if he watches Cops.
Ask if ever watched Cop Rock.
Giggle if he did.
Talk to your hand.
Ask if he knows someone named Rosy Palm and her Five Favorite Friends.
Accuse him of Sexual Harassment if he does.
When he frisks you, say You missed a spot, and grin.
When he asks to inspect your car, say there is no alcohol on my car, sir, the last cop got it.
Try to sell him your car.
Ask if you can buy his car.
If he takes you to the station, Ask to sit in front and Play with the siren.
If you know him, say you had his wife for dinner.
If you don't know him, ask if you can have his wife for dinner.
Oops...I meant OVER for dinner.
When he pulls out his night stick, say what you gonna do with that.
If you are female, say I don't do that on the first date.
Ask if you can see his gun.
When he says you aren't allowed, tell him I just wanted to see if mine was bigger.

I flew to Orlando, Fl to pick up my Mustang, I dorve to Cocoa Beach to get a T-shirt from the Harley shop. I was pulled over 1/2 mile short and asked, "Do you know why I pulled you over" I said no. he said for the crack in your windshield! I know he could not see it till he walked up to the car! I had the top down, and with the padded roll bar, I could only see thru a small space between! and the crack was low on the windshield. He pulled me over because I had a paper lic plate! The ranger (I call them that because everywhere I have been in the USA, ONLY rangers wear green ) He called for the K9 to come and go thru the car, I told him I just picked it up!, he did'nt care. Now this is early Christmas eve! After a while the K9 pulled up they talked, then told me, I had to fix it now, or he had to impound my car until the window was fixed, or leave the state now!!! I told him i'd leave this friendly state of his, he then told me the Harley shop was just ahead. We got there 15 mins after they closed!! So we drove to Daytona and then drove home on Christmas day! (You can't see me, but I stand holding my finger to FLPD!!! )

First time to Fl and I have to say it Sucked!

WELL!! There in lies your problem! The Florida troopers are mistaking you (grey hair and a Caddy) for a snowbird! You should know by now that Florida cops love picking on the hated snowbirds.

Better trade it for PT Cruiser But, for God's sake don't get a hotrod or a ratrod, cause they're just ticket magnets.

And you don't think a 450 HP Cad with Dynomax Super Turbos is a ticket magnet???????????

I'm thinking of getting a Yugo and dropping a SB in it.
