    Default talk about good luck !

    True story

    ahem ...

    Its around 7:30pm tonight

    I got into my car, on my way to the gym...
    Im driving on the left lane going toward ballys, windows down, on the cell phone... enjoying the weather..

    I look to my left, and i see a cop driving the opposite lane... we make eye contact, and i KNEW he was going to pull me over...

    I speed up and get into the middle lane, and take the next right turn...

    I thought i lost him, and about 5 seconds later, he shows up IN FRONT OF ME !

    SHIT !!!!

    i pull right over... he gets behind me

    as he came, i already had my license on my lap (honest to God, i get pulled over on average once a month for the same shit, tinted windows)

    Hello officer, i am so sorry i was on the phone, it was really important, i am a little lost and am getting directions..


    He taked my license, and asks for my registration...

    I go into my glove box to get my registration, and he says

    Tinted windshield, Tinted windows, youre on the cell phone, no seatbelt, and you have a license plate frame abstructing full view of your plates (its an "audi sport" OEM plate frame..


    Officer, i am really sorry about that...

    I hand him my papers, and a HUGE stack of police cards... i have quite a few cop friends...

    he tells me, i dont want to see those cards, because anybody could have given them to me

    he gets into his car, makes me wait about 10 long minutes..
    he come's back to me, asks me for my police cars, and tells me he is going to cut me a break, and LET ME PICK which 2 citations i want him to write me..

    So i once again apologized, and told him to give me 2 tint tickets (as they are no points)

    He takes my police cards with him in the car...
    Makes me wait about 5 minutes


    Comes back to me, and tells me he is going to let me go w/ 0 tickets....

    i thanked him several times....

    I told him "officer, if you or your children are car enthusiasts, i work at such and such dealership, and i would LOVE to treat you guys to a lunch, and i will take you guys on a test drive on any exotic car you want"...

    i gave him my card, and he smiled and said he would take me up on that..


    i was so relieved !..
    i thought i was having a pretty shitty day with the humid afternoon, but this guy just made me feel like i won the lottery !

    anyways, that's all !

    Man- I purposely drive a car that's less conspicuous because I don't want them to pull me over in the first place, but what are those cards you're talking about and where can I get one?

    It's not illegal to talk on the phone and drive. What was his deal with that?

    Wear your seatbelt though...it's a good idea.

    Maybe you should get a more legal tint if you get pulled over that much for it.

    Then again, you might not be looking for advice.

    in NYC , it is illegal to talk on the phone while driving
    they want you to use handsfree sets

    i honestly get pulled over on average once a month.
    and its usually for the same thing, tinted windows, or driving fast... cops get suspicious , and they always assume i have shit in my car...

    10 out of 10 times so far, they have all elt me go..
    i suck in my pride, aplogoize over and over, and my police cards generally help out, as they have personal cell phone #'s of cops and 2 captains that i personally know..

    here is my car btw

    Nice looking car, cool wheels, and good for you for not getting ticketed, but you were way out of line. You deserved the citations. Shame on the Cop for not handing you a few coupons and a good reaming.

    Talking on the cell is a BIG problem. Takes your attention away from your driving. That kills people. Sadly, it often kills innocent people.

    No seatbelt - you're an idiot. 80% of people ejected from vehicles in a collison will die, and you're more likely to die even if you don't get ejected, violently bouncing around inside the car.

    Dark tinted windows - officers can't see in your car, which will tend to make them a bit twitchy when they approach you. Not safe for you or the officer. Stick with legal tints.

    Now, who the fuck am I to say such things?
    30 year Fire & Rescue professional, former paramedic, former rescue squad officer, current chief officer. I've personally treated many trauma victims and extricated many dead bodies from collisions caused by inattention and stupidity; and exacerbated by lack of seatbelt use.

    But - I've never had to cut the seatbelt off a dead person!

    I also attended the funeral just last Friday of a police officer who was killed by an inattentive, speeding driver in the course of performing a walk-out radar stop.

    Grow up and drive with some sense of social responsibility. You are not the only person out there on the road.

    hey i understand what you're saying

    like i said, i DO wear my seatbelt, but i was badly sunburned, and it made me very uncomfortable..

    ive been driving for 8 years, not a single accident..
    and i have professional racing license ...

    i'm not saying i'm the best driver in the world, but being on the cell phone does not take any of my attention to driving away

    btw, i was going maybe 20-25mph tops...

    Whenever I see a post here about a woman driver being stopped by a cop, I instantly think about Harvey Keitel in "Bad Lieutenant."
