I\'ve gotten about three. Two in Jersey and one in ATL.

I would say that they were all bullshit but I was going at least 80 mph each time.

i got my liscence 5 months ago. I speed but im paranoid a lot of the time and try to find someone else speeding and stay with them,lol. Then again i drive my parents oldsmobile so the cops would probably feel sorry for me and let me go. Not sure what the fastest iv gotten it to cuz the speedometer goes to 85 and i got it all the way to the bottom. The thing i dont do is change lanes a butt load like some of the speeders i see, that just ticks me off. Also people going either 65 or below (usual highway speed) when there is NOONE in front of them. Ill probably get a ticket eventually on one of the highways here cuz impossible not to go above 70 and the highway sheriffs can be d*cks.

2, one for doing 57 in a 50, the dick should have let me off, the other he said I was doing 50 in a 35, which was bullshit, cuz I had just gotten from a 45 zone, so the ****er should ahve cut me some slack. I wasn\'t doing 50 either I maybe doing 42-44 and he said I was following to close, how would he know if he was behind me???

About 5 years ago I lost my licence for to many speeding tickets.I only lost it for 3 months.Actually I got done by a multinova last week,there was a car next to me so hopefully they don\'t know which car was speeding. :D

Edit:Also once I was racing a cop in an unmarked car and he let me off,when he pulled me over I asked if he could just punch me in the guts and let me go.He just laughed and said on your way.

I\'ve only had my license for two months but I thought I was going to get a couple. I saw once a cop slow down and thought he was turning around. I got out pretty fast :) That happened twice. The first time I wasn\'t speeding much (like 40 in a 35) but the second time I was doing 50 in a 40 and I didn\'t see the cop. I thought we was turning around so I was about to go into a back road but didn\'t see him in my mirror. I need to slow it down a bit. If I get a ticket, my rates go up and the insurance in Jersey is bad enough.

Speeding is one of the dumbest things to do...

If you get caught, don\'t bitch about it cause you were a moron...

If I pull you over for that and you try to pull any kind of crap with me, I would make sure to delay you as long as possible and fine you for as many things as possible...

Have a nice day...

None, so far. It\'s actually quite amazing, as I rarely go slow when driving home from work, typically, during the morning hours (when I get off) I never go under 85 mph. I\'ve came close though, I\'ve passed cops goin\' that fast and just knew I was going to get a ticket, but didn\'t. I\'ve also started speeding and came close to hitting a cop, ended up getting right on his bumper, before I realized it, figured I would of got pulled over that time also, but didn\'t. Not to mention the two seperate times that I was speeding and two different cops just went around me and passed me. I followed one of them and he pulled into a gas station, so I know he wasn\'t goin\' to do something important, go figure.

24 now, only 1 ticket that was thrown out of court because cop didn\'t show.

Fastest I\'ve gone is 125mph on the highway.

Crashes: 3, none my fault.  2 while on the job.

I generally drive slow now (meanng no more than 5 over speed limit) and don\'t street race.  I guess insurance companies really know what they\'re doing when they lower insruance rates at 25.. you don\'t feel like taking as much risks anymore, it\'s not worth it.

Hmm...my history...

Speeding tickets: 0
Traffic tickets: 1
Parking tickets: 1
Accidents: 1 (not my fault)

Yay!  The traffic ticket by the way was really bad.  I was 17 at the time, and it was for a rolling stop at a stop sign...when me, and the 2 other people in the car with me were all sure I HAD come to a full stop.  The cop asked me to step out of the car, and then bribed me, saying if I could give him information on some vandalism they thought had been committed by local teenagers, he could make the ticket go away.  So basically, I was just totally targetted because of my age, and that still pisses me off.

Post by: Coredweller on March 01, 2004, 11:56:18 AM
I have never been ticketed or even pulled over for speeding.  I thought it was weird after hearing so much about other people\'s bad luck with speeding tickets.  I thought I had some sixth sense, but now I know it\'s just my COMMON sense.  I speed plenty, but I do it only in safe situations, and in places where the liklihood of being caught it low.  

Be aware of your surroundings.  Are you in an area that has a severe problem with speeders?  If so, the cops will be watching it.  Is there enough room on the street to avoid a collision if something unexpected comes up while you are speeding?  Watch your mirrors and look FAR down the road to spot speed traps.  You don\'t need to actually see the cop, just be familiar with the road and recognize places that they would like to hide.

Also, when on the interstate, I make sure that I am NEVER the fastest car on the road.  If you\'re on a trip of over 100 miles on the interstate, it\'s practically guaranteed that you will pass the highway patrol at some point.  They cannot ticket everyone who breaks the speed limit, so they focus on ticketing the worst offenders.  Make sure there are worse offenders in front of you.  :)  If the speed limit is 70mph, then you can drive 82 as long as there are a few idiots doing 90.  If there are no idiots, then you have to drive 78 or so.  It\'s pretty simple.

I\'ve had 2, one for 75-80 in a 40.  The other was for 45 in a 40...talk about bullshit.  5 mph over and he gives me a $150.00 ticket, of course I took it to court and he didn\'t show so I got out of it.  I got pulled over about a week ago but he let me off with a warning.

damn..75-80mph in a 40 mph zone?! :laughing: damn i think i might have seen you on cops!:p seriously where was you going? speeding like that is TOTAL disrespect for the law enforcement...i like ..i like..:D,,..but it seems that was more in like a residential area...not saying it\'s ok to speed on the highway either, but i would never speed excessively in a 40 mph zone like that.

This is exactly what I do. A lot of people follow me goin\' to work and have asked if I have a radar dector, because I speed up, slow down, speed up.. It\'s common sense. Check your mirrors, look for speed traps and know your roads.

the cops here are randomly cracking down on speeders. People do go really fast on the newer highways and even on the others. They had some thing on the news and every day cops are on highways to catch people. I was on one of the highways where everyone goes at least 75 and a cop was in the fast lane going below 65 and everyone was going slow as hell,lol. But going slow just annoys me when theres noone in front of you. To me, follow the rules if danger is involved and theres traffic, but these new highways are practically empty so why not just go fast?

yeah alot of the highways are bulit for speeds of up to 85 mph and higher. i see you are on the west coast,.but it makes no difference, i know when i travel to some of the southern states n.c. or v.a. there are sections of interstate 95 that just seems like it was built for speed..it\'s so wide open down there..add the fact that you have some nice tunes blazin\', hell you\'re doin\' 115 in the fast lane with the gangsta lean goin on in the whip! :D

explicit lyrics, NWS
_______
god bless de topless
show me your ass
if you\'re a good whore (in french whore = female dog)
i\'ll slack the leash
after a blowjob you know i am leaving
that\'s what i call magic love
i am leaving, i disapear laughin out loud
It\'s the best trick, i can i hear ya already say "*girl voice*he think only for himself and is dick"
but i dont listen to ya, i just analyse your body
(next sentence make no sense in english, but you can say the verb "put" wich mean "fuck" in french)
I put you like a glove
and i boot you like Italy (here again, boot is another synonym  for fuck in french. since italy look like a boot..)
dont talk to me about love, shit you dont understand?
I am not gilles vignault (poet from quebec), my name is VIC
you tell me you dont understand me, shit its the same for me.
anyway i dont care about you,
tomorow it\'s gonne "insert girl name here" or "insert another girl name here"
god bless the topless
show me your ass
if your a good whore
i\'ll slack your leash
my name is richard
i like car and baseball (wtf!)
i smoke huge blunt and drink till last call
fucking pork pow wow i order you to pump on my dart..
(here we are at 56sec)
___________________________

i am not sure i can stand it anymore. unless you really need it all ?

quebec\'s rap aint really good compare to what\'s been made in france.

edit: actually, i havent listen to rap in a while. be it quebec\'s or france. i am not really fan of that kind of music. it seems to be better then the average "pop rap" we hear on the radio.

that thread with ferrari has caused me to resurrect this thread with an update...no tickets folks but just a small encounter....a couple weeks back..i was comin from the bank about 6:45 pm...this guy in a (well i\'m assuming) suped up eclipse..comes buy me doin\' like 85...now we\'re on interstate 20 east and there are still plenty of cars on the road..so he see\'s me comin on strong and he nails it....he has about a 2 1/2 car length on me but we\'re both weavin in and out of traffic...we hit a spot were it finally opened up...and we were doin\' close to 115 mph.....i admit he got the best of me tho.

I started slowing down for fear of the cops...he kept on going...i mean this cat just kept it floored!..:p i did happen to see him at the following exit tho...it was a red fully kitted eclipse..(not the new one..but an older model)..with one of those big ass exhaust on it. I really needed my ass whooped for doin\' that tho....there was still a decent amount of cars on the road for me to be doin\' that s**t....once in awhile tho i just like to open it up....it\'s a pretty quick rush...:fro:...anyway anybody has new speeding updates?

I\'ve had 2. The last one I got was in 1989 coz I got stuck in the diamond lane (HOV lane to THX) in Old Town, Alexandria.

Strange thing is - I\'m always above the speed limit by 10 to 20mph! Just lucky I guess. I know where the popos are.

Post by: Viper_Fujax on February 25, 2006, 11:37:03 AM
I havent either. Got really close twice.

One on city streets i was going about 10 mph over the speed limit and i noticed a cop was parked on the side (was a pretty big street, length wise, with a lot of houses/cars) but luckily he didnt deem a pull-over necessary. That or i slowed down in time but im pretty sure i saw him too late. I was honestly expecting a ticket in the mail er something,lol. Thought it was a lazy cop who just got lisence plate numbers and mailed tickets..if thats possible.

The second time i was on the highway and i wasnt completely speeding, but i had to make a move around a guy going 60 so to a cop it looked pretty bad. After i got ahead of the guy going 60 i saw a cop change lanes right behind me..was like oh fuck. Luckily i was right at the exit i needed to get off of and he drove right by me. I guess highway patrol cant pull you over on city streets if you\'re not doing anything major?
Title: how many speeding tickets have you gotten?
Post by: Paul2 on February 25, 2006, 11:48:31 AM
yeah, maybe.  Since it\'s not major, they just let it go.  heh, they are humans too and humans do make mistakes.  So, since it\'s not major, they let it slip and face the other way.

If you drive within a reasonable limit and keep a level head, cops won\'t put you\'ll over.

Panick and jam on the breaks and you might as well head off to the shoulder, you\'re getting one.

I have no new tickets to report, knock on wood. My insurance has cut in half over the last couple years and my license is being cleaned of points. :)

Just got one a couple days ago for going 22.

THought I was out of a school zone.  There was a stop light in the middle of the school zone and I just thought I was out of it.  Kind of hard to start from a light and only go 15.  ANyway, they were doing a sting and there were 6 cops there pulling people over.

Kind of lame.  I\'ve gone 100+ many many times on the interstate and I get busted doing 22.

Since buying my current car, I have been pulled over twice for speeding on the interstate.  Once by the CHP, and once by the Arizona Highway Patrol.  On both occasions, I was given a WARNING.  :D

The first time was total BS.  I was driving 5 mph over the speed limit, and the female CHP officer knew she didn\'t have anything on me.  She probably thought I was a young punk who needed to be made an example of, but she didn\'t figure on meeting an old guy like me.

The second time was my fault.  I broke my own rules as stated earlier in this thread.  I wasn\'t paying attention, and I let myself become a target by being the fastest vehicle on the road.  He had me on radar at 90 in a 75, but when the dude caught up to me, I was back to my normal speed of 83.  He was cool, and I was his 1,000th stop of 2005, so he gave me a break with a written warning.  :D

I\'ve had one speeding ticket that was completely BS. I haven\'t had one since and I haven\'t been in any accidents. The cops here in AZ are fucking ridiculous. They\'re also racist. They threw my Filipino cousin in jail for speeding. They wouldn\'t believe him that my aunt was his mom. And they kept thinking he was Mexican. Dumb asses.

Just one, 13 years ago. was going 130+MPH on my motorcycle down in a full tuck, in the middle of nowhere down a 10 mile long hill. When I sat up to slow down, there was a trooper right behind me. Oh yeah, I didn\'t have a license either. He gave me a ticket for that & doing 70 in a 55.

well...i \'ve got just one other small detail to add to the mix....i think this is something 98% of us are guilty of....how many of you actually slow down when the traffic light turns yellow?......sheeit i know the majority of the time i floor it just so i can make it....:p...it truly is one of life\'s greatest satisfactions once you clear that light right?...:fro:...i mean you feel like you are the man once you blow by it...until you come up to a red light that\'s a couple of blocks down the street...:p

when i was livin\' in jersey  back in 96,97...i was going to willowbrook mall, and this was the only time where runnin\' that yellow light didn\'t work for me. i mean that light changed quick as hell!...by the time i nailed it, the light had already changed to red..and clearly there was no way i was stoppin\' so i had to blaze through that red light with my horn blazin\'....and a cop was right there to snag my ass....:D

don\'t worry, i\'m pretty sure i just jinxed myself

clips- it does feel good to clear that light.  Especially at those intersections that take freaking forever.

one thing i find myself doing when i\'m late to work is... when i see it turn yellow & there\'s no way to make it, i get in the right lane and make a right @ the light.  Then u-turn the first spot i can to get back on the road i was originally on.  sometimes it works for the better, sometimes it doesn\'t ;)

I don\'t go thru yellows now.  Did it in front of my neighborhood a little over a year ago and got pulled over for it.  When the cop asked on why I thought I was pulled over I said I knew I cut it close.  He then goes on to write on the ticket that I admitted running it.  I\'m left dicked even though I knew I went thru the yellow and my passenger agreed.

I don\'t run yellows anymore. I was stopping for one in the right lane, there was a woman waiting to turn left coming the other direction (already in the intersection) and she starts to turn just as  this asshole runs the yellow. She\'s a parapalegic now. The kid was 17, no insurance, and an unregistered car with switched plates. He got out and ran.

Guess what ethnicity he was! ;) :fro:

He sounds like a dick for hitting her, but "running a yellow" isn\'t a crime. All that other stuff he did, that is...

Rule of thumb, a yellow light stays yellow one second for every ten miles per hour the speed limit is.

I generally try to go through them, but I don\'t change speed. If you have too gun it, you\'re too far back. If you start to slow down, you mess up your rhythm and it usually turns red before you get there...

I don\'t know how fast that kid was coming through the yellow, but she\'s just as at fault if he wasn\'t speeding and she tried to cut him off either hoping he would stop or because she didn\'t want to wait through another red light.

In hindsight, an extra 40 seconds at the light would\'ve been a lot better... Gotta be careful.

I ususally hit the breaks but also run it. Its like 50/50 if I run it or hit the breaks. Sometimes I hit the breaks too hard and the anti-lock system kicks in.

Wrong. When the light is yellow, the car already in the intersection has the right-of-way. He failed to yeild right-of-way.

I think it depends on the state. Some states might interpret the yellow light differently than other states.

yellow lights can be pretty tricky but i think its pretty easy to tell if your going to make it or not. Sometimes i gas up a bit or else ill have to make a harsh stop.

I also look behind me really quick to tell if someone will be in my trunk if i break on a questionable yellow.

i agree with you here viper,...i haven\'t seen x-men 3 yet,..*will wait for dvd or cable* spidey 1 &2 and x-men 2 are still my fav\'s as far as superhero flicks go,,damn i haven\'t seen that last batman joint either tho,..which i heard was decent, ah well...f-4 was alright, but it did fall on the weak side, and i haven\'t seen punisher either, but i\'ve also heard that that movie was weak as well...

sometimes the problem with these types of movies, especially in the first movies is that it\'s really slow in the way they show how the characters get their powers, by the time they build to any excitement in the film it\'s over, that\'s why most of the time the 2nd film in the series is always strongest, being that they don\'t have to go through that painful process of the characters origin...they can just create a fresh story with the characters powers already in tact and build around it....oh and the hulk?..booooring...i actually fell asleep on that movie...twice....i second time i watched it i really tried to give it a chance,...even the special effects couldn\'t save that movie...

From the cartoon, I recall Peter, mutating into the black spider dude and then, (Cant remember his name), the guy that came from the future in X-men captured him and cured him.

And wasnt "venom" the name of the black gooey sipidey suit?

venom = brock and symbiote.     He basically had unlimited web, suit creates it. He could store shit without adding bulk to the suit and it morphed into clothing.

It also increased his strength like 10 fold.  I\'m kinda on the outs as far as how powerful spidey actually is in the films.  I mean, he takes an awful beating and can stop a goddamn speeding train though it totaly drained him.  How much more powerful the symbiote could make him could be something like tanker truck lifting type of strength.  Just have to wait and see.

Your friend should read real comics to see how the artists make action scenes fast paced, dynamic, but still comprehensible.  In this example, there are so many pages with three or more panels showing an object gradually coming closer, or a pin being pulled out of a grenade.  Mistakes like that make this look like something an 10-year old would draw.

I pay off my balance every month. Knock on wood. So far I\'ve never carried a balance.
 
Also, credit card debt is a small part of your credit score. Take out a couple decent sized loans from the bank.
 
I took out loans to buy a used car and my big tv. Once I took a loan for no reason. Five grand. Spent half and paid it all back in six months.
 
By paying it off quickly (take the loan when you have the cash already to cover it) you avoid a lot of interest payments.
 
Banks will learn you\'re responsible and can be trusted with decent amounts. Then don\'t forget to save your cash so you\'re not broke.
 
I\'m going through all this personally so I can afford a downpayment and decent mortgage on a house up here.

some of you here seriously are over 20k in credit card debt?  I was up near 8 or 9K in CC debt but paid it all off over the past few years.  I\'m using a massive credit line we have for remodeling our new house... I think i\'ve only racked up 3 or 4k so far... but that dosen\'t count. ;)

My wife and I have about 8 credit cards and all but 2 have $0 balances, we have so many because we used the 0% interest on transfers (the trick is you can\'t use the card, once you do a nice fat APR kicks in... we just cut the cards up as soon as we got them), this helped pay off our debts with less interest.  It actually hurts your credit score to cancel paid off cards because it hurts your credit/debt ratio.  It won\'t hurt that much in the long run, but we have a lot of smaller cards we are just too lazy to cancel.

And like Eik said, take out a small loan from the bank and pay it back in about 6 months or so, that will improve your score more than anything.

Also, everyone is entitled to one free credit report per year.  I actually got mine today for free through this site.  If you go to a site that asks for a credit card number then go somewhere else.  Acutally here is where I got mine https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp  You have to pay $7.95 or so to get your FICO score, but that\'s typical.

I clicked $100 - $1k  because I pay off my credit card statements in full every month.  That is usually about $600 or $700 per month, but sometimes more.  I do not carry a balance.  Paying interest at credit card interest rates is fucking stupid.
 
I owe about $8K on my car loan, but that is the only loan currently active.  
 
BTW: having too many active credit cards is harmful for your credit score, even if you are not using them and don\'t have a balance on them.  The thinking is, you have the capability to go into debt by the amount of the limit on each card, so it increases the lender\'s risk that you\'ll get into trouble and won\'t be able to repay your loan to them.  If you have 2 credit cards per person, that is more than enough.

Sorry, been so long since I had zero guess I forgot to inlcude it lol.

Yes I\'m part of the $20k+ crew (22k to be exact).  Not something I\'m proud of but paying my own way in college accounts for more than half of that.  The other part was just bad spending habits.

I have a stable job now and no desire whatsoever to get a new car, so hopefully I\'ll top out at $75k before I file for bankrupcy.

I kind of wish i didnt get one, but my parents said it would be a good idea. I dont even really use it..feel dumb pulling it out for something thats like 30 bucks max when i can easily get cash..and if i didnt have cash then i wouldnt be buying it. I could see me buying a ps3 with it, just so i wouldnt have to worry about all the cash, but thatd happen every 5 er 6 years.

No debt for me, credit cards are just a total rip off, most people can\'t even repay the interest on them.

There isn\'t an option for woodchips, so why even bother posting in this thread?

As for American\'s and credit cards, yeah, I think it is an American thing. A lot of people use one credit card to pay off another credit car. One never ending cycle.

i remember bein in the mall one time in line behind this chic, she pulled about six different cards before one  even went through,..everytime she swiped one, it was denied....she was a nice lookin\' professional looking woman....probably high maintanence(spel), but she wasn\'t embarrased at all by how many cards of hers were rejected...

Dunno how it is elsewhere, but you can\'t get credit until you have credit here. I remember I thought I was doing myself a favor not having CC\'s, but then I tried to buy a vehicle...no dice, even tho I had worked at the same place for 8 years, no debt, etc... I ended up having to get a secured credit card, and use it for a year.

I only have about 2K now, mostly on a musician\'s friend account that has no interest.

That is also true. My fiance has never had a credit card and every time she goes to get something on credit, they tell her to get one and build her credit up. I also ran into the same problem when I had to buy my first car.

i wonder if its an american thing with CC\'s..seeing as the three foreigners (to us) never had credit cards.

I kind of wish i didnt get one, but my parents said it would be a good idea. I dont even really use it..feel dumb pulling it out for something thats like 30 bucks max when i can easily get cash..and if i didnt have cash then i wouldnt be buying it. I could see me buying a ps3 with it, just so i wouldnt have to worry about all the cash, but thatd happen every 5 er 6 years.


Ditto. I only use it for gas because Discover supposedly gives me money when I need it (like a certain percentage like .01% goes back to me. Adds up with time. I can buy myself a dvd or something, lol). Otherwise I use my debit card for the most part becasue I like to use cash for a) food at diners and b) food in general or something small. I don\'t like carrying a lot of cash on me incase I lose it. Atleast if I lose the cards, I call and cancel them.

Well these days banks will throw money at you just by walking to the bank, but generally here you get a loan at the bank for stuff like car loans and whatever. They check how much money you make and if you\'ve had any trouble repaying earlier loans (if you don\'t pay your loans back you\'ll get into a central register) and base their response on that.

A lot of those forums is obviously garbage, but I read a post today that made me glad this place exists.
 
Here\'s part of it:

to stay on the topic more it is so hyped because it\'s different and innovating graphics don\'t make a game gameplay is what is.

Haha.
 
I told the guy punctuation was his friend. I\'m no grammar nazi, but damn.

Bennet Brauer: That\'s right, Bennet Brauer here with another commentary. Didn\'t think the suits would have me back perhaps. Thought they\'d have my dairy-air replaced by one of them store mannequin well maybe I\'m not "the norm". I\'m not "camera friendly", I don\'t "wear clothes that fit me", I\'m not a "heartbreaker", I haven\'t had "sex with a woman", I don\'t know "how that works", I don\'t "fall in line", I\'m not "hygienic", I don\'t "wipe properly", I lack "style", I don\'t have "self-esteem", I have no "charisma", I don\'t "own a toothbrush", I don\'t "let my scabs heal", I can\'t "reach all the parts of my body", when I sleep I "sweat profusely." But I guess the "powers that be" will keep signing my pay check until Jack and Jane K. Viewer start to go for the remote so they can get back to commentators who don\'t "frighten children", who don\'t "eat their own dandruff", who don\'t "pop their whiteheads with a compass they used in high school". Thank you, Kevin.

Venom will have 12 mintues screentime. He will be in the final battle. They are not setting it up for the fourth, due to the fact no one knows for sure if there will be a fourth. The latest interviews seem to lean towards this being the last.
