Got raped today

You shitty civic is capable of going 80 MPH

My 2006 civic (regular one, not si) topped out at 125mph. I miss that car.

Now you see why I drive so damn slow. You know that one jerk who drives exactly the speed limit through construction zones, like 35mph when everyone else is going 50mph? I'm that guy. Speeding tickets suck. The people behind me can suck it.

I don't necessarily go the speed limit when I drive, but I'm generally not going to traveling faster than the flow of traffic or more than 15 over (if it's an interstate/expressway). One speeding ticket when I was 18 was enough for me.

80 in a 55 is too much. 80 in a 65 with a cop nearby is cutting it. keep it to +/- 10 and don't complain. If oyu get pulled over for 75 in a 65, then you're just unlucky. Get pulled over for 80, well that's your fault. It's a gamble many of us make all the time.

It should be a 65, but they made it a 55 so they can ticket you. It's got 4 fucking lanes going one way.. It should be 65 damn-it!

Wow that cop is a dick. Were you being ignorant & smart or something?

Hehe you don't want to know how fast I was going today or how many laws violated. Hint: 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R.

I'm guessing they're hurting for money or something because he didn't even say anything. He just got my license and registration and then gave me the ticket basically. I was like, "wtf, srsly..." As soon as he did that he just setup his detector right where I was and started watching people. There was another cop just ahead of him too. They're out for blood.

Minimum safe following distance is 3 seconds.

You were nearly a tenth of a mile behind the next person?

Maybe they should pull over every single person on the road that night. Very few people were that far apart.

IIRC, you have a civic too. >_> Shuudddup.

Even if it were a 65, you should have been going under 70; not 80.

Most people on the freeway on a 65 zone are going 72-77mph. Ironically... NO CAR CRASHES!! ZOMGZ!!!

You would still have been speeding. By a good margin.

Come on, you're being ridiculous. The only time you do 80 and not expect to get ticketed is on roads with posted limits of 70-75, and you're still flirting with danger if the limit is 70.

Those roads don't exist here.

 

[QueBert]

Bullshit.

Nope, it's really simple to not speed. You look at the speedometer and don't go above the posted limit. I drive every day as if I'm taking the driving test again. If you go 40 on a 35 zone you instantly fail with the test. You don't believe me? Come drive with me, I promise you it'll take us 65 minutes to go 65 miles. I have horrible luck, so with my luck if I was to go 70 in a 65 zone I'd be the one to get pulled over. Not worth saving a few minutes to risk a ticket that'll run me hundreds of dollars.

They didn't need to get all of them. They got YOU.

That by itself makes the roadways safer.

 

[Gothgar]

lol @ tags

sad face, this is madness, trident failed

 

[SagaLore]

You are a superior idiot. :hmm:

 

[alm4rr]

you didnt get raped. You got called for being an idiot.
If your parents had done it once or twice while you were growing up..........

+1.25

It's a 55 because there are major on/off ramps ever quarter to a half mile once you get past West Linn, and it's usually busy. It's one of the only stretches of freeway in Oregon where you'll constantly see speed traps. The only people who speed on 205 are tourists or idiots.

good thing we know he's not a tourist...

I'm a tourist! I don't go on 205!

I know I drive a 2004 civic... I'm just saying that HIS civic is not

You're a moron. :hmm:

 

[squirrel dog]

Wait till your insurance company learns of your driving 'skill'.

 

[alfa147x]

You're a moron. :hmm:

I found you

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Then don't drive that fast.

As someone pointed out. Near cities they slow things down. The 101 and 880 as they run through San Francisco and Oakland slow down to 55. It's a 4 lane road each way too. You did 25 over. Stop whining.

Whine if you get slapped 10 over. You're a disgrace because everytime I think of myself through my 18-21 phase (I'm only 23 right now) I was never as immature as you. Thank goodness for learning to drive at 16 and still not getting a ticket because I don't drive like the stereotypical 16-21 year old who bumps up the insurance rates...

 

[rcpratt]

I got raped yesterday by an auto insurance quote after moving back to Michigan. More than double what I was paying in Indiana, screw that.

 

[CKent]

Glad they nailed ya. Hopefully you'll slow down and stop tailgating people.

 

[Anubis]

As a side question do you guys go over the speed limit because you guys are purposely doing so or do you guys have some kind of trouble controlling the gas pedal?

Why not use cruise control?

its called driving with the flow of traffic, if you were actually driving the speed limit you would be a serious risk to everyone else on the road at that time

even out here in bum fuck nowhere people drive 75-80 99% of the time
