Have you ever got pulled over by a cop?

Question

2 and a half years of driving I have never gotten pulled over by a cop and I never got into a car accident. I'm proud of myself. How about all of you? Are you consider a caution driver?

Answer 1

congratulations!!! me i was in a very bad accident a couple of years back it was very bad..and it was because of a drunk driver..i was traumatized after that it took me a while to get back behind the wheel ..i was very scared..and abt being pulled over ..no ..

Answer 2

i'm 23 and have been pulled over twice. tickets for both:

1st time: driving from northern california to southern arizona.... 12 hr drive, after a long day's work, no sleep, driving on I-10 (nothing but desert) and was about 1 1/2 hrs from my destination. i was so ready to be there and there was nobody around... so i got caught for going 108 mph. cops gave me a break and let me go w/ a ticket saying 98, so i wouldn't lose my license right there on the spot- which is the law. speed limit was 75. the ticket was $375... i was about 18 yrs old... sheesh.

2nd time: much less severe, i was going 62 in a 45, on an unheavily traveled back road, in a hurry to get to work. i went to a driving course for this to keep it off my record so my insurance wouldn't go up. i still had to pay court costs and class fees- about $120 total. i was 22 this time.

that's all i've done. but i've slowed down a lot since then, especially now that i have a daughter:)

Answer 3

Oh hell yeah. I have been pulled over about 15 times in my life, and I am 32 years old. I have been driving since I was 19.

I used to have long hair, and cops just adored me (sarcasm!).

Man, I got pulled over and searched for drugs, weapons, stowaways, friggin Mexican 'shrooms, friggin Mexican fightin' bullfrogs, etc.

Boy, were those cops disappointed. I have never even tried illegal drugs once in my life. Ha ha ha.

I don't drink alchohol, either.

I guess they think that they have a "duty" to make snap judgements about people who look guilty or dangerous.

I also used to speed all the time. I have gotten about ten tickets in my life, for the following violations:

1. Speeding
2. Running a red light
3. Getting in the turning lane too early
4. Expired tag
5. No proof of car insurance

and other crap, too.

But NOW, I am indeed a cautious and careful driver. I used to never wear my seatbelt...but now, I do, because my Fiance convinced me of how important my safety is.

Answer 4

Driving a car and motorcycle for 18 years.
Pulled over about 5 times.
Been involved in 3 accidents.....none my fault.

Answer 5

I got pulled over for:
a) going 90 mph on the freeway
b) riding around with expired stickers
c) riding around with bald tires

I've also been stopped when walking for looking like a bad guy. The cop wanted to check the contents of my book bag. There were books in it.
