Johhny said:I had to take one of those classes also, it was for getting three tickets in a three days. The thing that sucked though is that two of them were going two miles over the speed limit. I told the cops it must be the end of the month for them, having to get their quotas. They need the extra money for the donuts and Orange juice, I even offered to buy one of the cops a cup of OJ and a Dunkin Donut, he didn't like that lol ..
Son Goku said:Still, 2 miles over the speed limit... Umm, let me put it this way. Several of the cops in my family have indicated they won't get a person for going 2 miles over the speed limit, though 5 miles they will... I seem to remember comment given to the fact that the speedometers on cars aren't perfectly accurate either. So they need a little room so as to not pull people over who are essentially going the speed limit, within a margin of error that might be their speedometer.
That might have been a ticket possible to fight, though it was probably about a $20 ticket (and points on the license of course)...
jimi_81 said:a right on a red... im pretty sure you have to make a full complete stop, as if it were a stop sign, and then proceed to the far right lane when the coast is clear.
or... if you live by the rule... 'no cop, no stop', then u can burn right thru it
Johnny said:I was upset about. I didn't fight it though. It would have been me against him, with no witnesses. The cop would have won. One of my best friends is a state trooper down in Georgia. He told me he has pulled people over for going 2 or three miles over the speed limit. They will get into trouble if they don't fill there quotas .. He also told me that he has pulled people over for having a crooked license plate, because of needing to get his quota. So, I know it happens .. The quota means everything. I think this is the reason you see more cops out at the end of the month as apposed to the beginning of the month.
It could also be the reason you see more out during the holidays. They probably get more money for pulling people over during those days, as apposed to a normal day ...
