Who Will Be the Next To Get a Ticket?

[dazzleman]

Realistically, speeding's almost not worth it. Unless you're really sweating for minutes, you don't save that much time.

People don't really speed to save time.  They speed because driving fast is more fun than driving at the speed limit.

I speed for both reasons. Going 10 - 15 over on the freeway for 8 hours can save 30 min to an hour.

25-30 over is better on both counts...

[Rupert]

100 mph for 8 hours isn't really a great idea, fatigue-wise.

[Laconian]

Who speeds for rational reasons? Its just fun to do.

Road trips are the only time it's logically worth it.

Sometimes I like to roll the windows down, blast some music and cruise at 50 mph in the right lane.

It'd be cool if you could somehow take the roof off while you cruise.

Vegas to LA is monotonous...I speed (100mph) to get it over with quicker. Slow lane is doing about 90 so it doesn't really matter.

And hotrodalex's parking ticket just reminded me of this one time had to fight a BYU parking ticket entirely in spanish. The resolutions officer learned it long ago and wanted to practice when he found out I went to Argentina.

I got it down from $25 to $5, so I was happy.

He'd need to buy a convertible for that.

[dazzleman]

or he could cut the roof off....

[Rupert]

Yeah, he should just take a sawzall to his Miata's hard top.

[dazzleman]

I agree.

Nice, I'll have to remember to start off in a foreign language next time I talk to an officer here.

Exactly.  The velocity and illegality both add an edge of fun to an otherwise boring drive.

Yeah, that's true.

Oh STFU.

Cut over an hour off today's totally awesome epic drive. And this:

Done got caught!

But my charming personality and "yes, sir" attitude got me out of another ticket.

Good thing, too, because it would have been for the lamest speeding I did all day (13 over in a 40).

Haha, it's funny when you're doing all this crazy shit and then get busted for something lame.

Your personality in dealing with Johnny Law must be very different than it is on here...

[Rupert]

Yeah, cops love me. I call them "sir" and everything.

[dazzleman]

Yeah, cops love me. I call them "sir" and everything.

I'm sure they do.  You do lame violations and then crap in your pants when they pull you over.  It's a nice power trip  for them...

[Rupert]

I just know how to get away with it.

[hotrodalex]

Going through a small town?

[Rupert]

Yeah, hardly even that. Like four buildings, none of which appeared to be occupied.

[dazzleman]

I just know how to get away with it.

You just know how to bend over.

[hotrodalex]

You just know how to bend over.

He's got a nice chest.

[Rupert]

I do! And if it gets me outta tickets...

[dazzleman]

I do! And if it gets me outta tickets...

Would you give the cop a BJ at the side of the road if that were required for you to get off the hook?
