A) I was pulled over because you think I've done something that at least warrants a stern talking or you are bored and you wanted someone to talk to.

B) How fast I think I was going doesn't really matter since the law doesn't provide for speeding tickets based on intent. What matters is how fast you think I was going.

Of course, these truthful answers will do nothing to help you if you are trying to not get fined. :laugh:

[Pliablemoose]

All that means is that you should try harder. How else are you supposed to get to know cops?

The last time I got pulled over, it went like this.

Cruising down a back-road highway, two lane, 55mph. There's a semi infront of me, and a white toyota pickup behind me.

I go to pass the semi, the Toyota follows me.. except when I get back over, he stays in the left lane and passes me too.. So I'm like, ah.. okay.. and keep pace.

So we're going about 90, and sure enough.. a state trooper pops up over the hill.

We were still going ~80 when he passed us and flipped a bitch. I was hoping and praying that he only got the truck. So he finally catches back up with us, and passes me with his lights on. I'm thinking at this point that maybe I'm going to get away with it.

As he's pulling the truck over, he sticks his hand out the window and motions for me to pull over too. DOH!

So I do.. He comes to me first. "Why were you going so fast?"

"Um, er.."

"Following him?"

"Yeah.."

He smiled, and nodded. Took my info, and gave me my ticket, asking me about my car and stuff the whole time. Super nice officer.

He said I was lucky that I slowed down, and the reason he was giving me my ticket first was that the guy in the pickup was going 86, which is 30+ over, and he will be towed.

I asked the officer if he was going to show up in court, and he said "Of course! I get paid good money to show up!"

It was good times.

A) You have a miniscule penis and the only way you can feel good about yourself is to carry a gun and exercise the tiny bit of authority you have.

B) No, you changed the outcome by measuring it.


NEVER answer anything except "no" to those questions. If you answer yes it will be taken as an admission of guilt.

 

[Savij]

1) God morning officer, what seems to be the problem?
2) Not sure how fast I was going, I saw you and slowed down first then I looked at my speed and I was going 5 below.

I prefer the 'you were going 47mph in a 35mph zone; is there an emergency?'

I had one guy imply that he did have an emergency, but didn't volunteer what it was.., saying something to the effect that it wouldn't affect me...lol

Oh, then please share your vast wisdom with us unworthy humans and explain in detail the times when it is better to admit that you know you were committing a crime.

A) No, and insist that he tell you why he pulled you over.
B) Yes (but don't actually answer with the speed).

If the officer presses you to tell him how fast you were going, then ask him what his probable cause was for pulling you over. If he pulled you over for speeding, then he is required to tell you how fast you were traveling.

 

[olds]

I always admit I was speeding and blame it on inattention because of xxx.
I am polite and respectful. I get out of the ticket a vast majority of the time.

Speeding isn't a crime.

It's an infraction.

 

[Juno]

b. pretty damn fast, i was experimenting newton's laws of motion!

Whether or not you get out of a ticket depends mostly on the severity of the infraction, your driving record (which on the police computer includes previous unticketed stops), and the officer's 'quota.' Your politeness and respectfulness factor very little into it (although I recommend that everyone always be as polite and respectful as possible of course).

 

[Gothgar]

1. Yes, you pulled me over to give me a ticket to the policeman's ball
2.???
3. Profit (in lulz)

Maybe I was raised with the mindset of a few generations back...but I was taught honesty and self-responsibility. Lying to a cop isn't something I grew up doing..apparently unlike a lot of people here. And, as Eli pointed out, speeding is not a crime. It's a noncriminal / civil infraction.

Eh...if somebody's a complete asshole, they proably have a better chance of getting cited than someone who's polite and admits their mistake. Some guys write 'attitude tickets'..some don't..

But hey, what do I know.

Instead of saying what the answers should be, I'll instead tell you the best ones I've heard/said:

A.) Do you know why I pulled you over?

Best answer: (from the mother of a friend of mine) "Don't tell me, let me guess.....you want me to buy a ticket to the policeman's ball??" To which the policeman in question responded (I kid you not!!), "No, ma'am......policemen don't have balls"!!! My friend told me her mother just sat there, looking at the cop, completely straight faced......and after a couple seconds to digest what had just come out of his mouth, he handed her back her driver's license and insurance card, told her to have a nice day, walked back to his patrol car and drove off without ticketing her!! She also said her mom decided in a moment's notice that the best thing was to keep a straight face, since she figured cracking up would only ensure she got the ticket. :laugh:

B.) Do you know how fast you were going?

Best answer: (from me, after getting pulled over by the CHP, years ago) "I believe the real question is......do YOU know how fast I was going???" :laugh:
That was after he'd lost sight of me after clocking me at 70mph in a 55 zone, going over the San Rafael Bridge (SF Bay area). In reality, I figure I was going well over 100 at one point, but had taken my foot off the accelerator, and was just coasting down in speed at that point. Oh yeah, I made certain to pull over AFTER the exit to San Quentin prison, not before!!

I've heard stories of your first one before..either it's happened multiple times, or it's an urban legend running around. I don't doubt that it happened somewhere along the line, though.

As far as your second one...that would be why I don't ask such questions.
