Many years ago while driving a rented van home with six friends home from a day of skiing, I made a left turn onto a friend's street to drop him off. This was in the Art Museum area of Philadelphia. I was stopped for making a left turn through a red light. The problem was that the street I turned onto was on the same side as the traffic light from me. I didn't cross the intersection that was controlled by that red light. My friend who lived on that street argued in my defense that the ticket would be bogus because I didn't go through the intersection that was controlled by that light. After about 15 minutes of back and forth debate with the cop (he was very polite the entire time, as was my friend and I), I asked the cop to call a supervisor to get an additional opinion. The supervisor agreed with my friend and me, so the cop let us go without a ticket and he actually apologized for the confusion. |

A driver ahead of me in the left lane of two is driving about 20mph under the posted speed limit weaving left and right. I get in the right lane and wait for the driver to weave left and punch it. I get up to the posted speed limit and pass. I get pulled over and my papers run. The more amusing ones are when I'm biking. I was pulled over for not teetering on the edge of the paved surface. I was pulled over for yelling 'green light go!' when a driver sat still on a green signal. Of course there were times I was pulled over simply because the officer wanted to run my papers, where no event had occured and the cop did not give a reason or clearly pulled one out of his ass. |

Years ago (early '90's), I was driving south on I-95 just south of the I-4 junction. A Volusia County Sheriff's Deputy pulls me over and orders me out of the car over his PA. Then he gets out of his car, and says to the effect, "Sorry, I got the wrong car. I didn't realise it untill I was right on top of you." I haven't driven that stretch of road since. Even now, when I hit the Volusia County line, I get onto US1 at the first opportunity. -- "The world's gone crazy... You know how I know the world's gone crazy?

Yet it sounds like you get > pulled over for a "papers check" at least once a month. Just purely checking papers? One checkpoint, two pull pull overs. Now thinly veiled excuse to check papers? add about 4 more. > How do you account for this? It's not the 1980s any more Scott. Before the late 1990s I had only been pulled over twice. Once for doing the speed of traffic through a suburban speed trap and once for a papers check in chicago. You take the train and ride the bus. You're probably not driving between 11pm and 3am much, I do so at least twice a week. You're not a vehicluar bicyclist. Last time I was pulled over while biking the cop says first off, 'I don't like the way you ride your bike, that's not a car'. Then he went into how I yelled 'go green light go'. Is that enough reasons? |

I used to get pulled over all the time in my old Scirocco, not once (knock on wood) in the Porsche. I guess the Porsche looks more respectable although in truth it's only four years newer. nate |

A couple of cops spent half an hour looking over our van, MC trailer and motorcycles looking for SOMETHING to cite. They ultimately settled for a ticket for an illegible month sticker on our license plate, which we replaced in Fresno, for free, in about 15 minutes and it wasn't even out of our way. -- Cheers, Bev oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo "Few skills are so well rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims." --Thomas Sowell |

I don't get it, I'm still the same guy and I don't drive any differently. I am convinced that it has to do with something about the car, although I'm not sure what. Nothing else makes sense; I still live in about the same area and while I drive on different roads I still drive quite a bit, a lot of it in neighborhoods that I don't look like I "belong" in (you have to go through the bad part of DC to get from where I live to Annapolis) nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
