Police are people too...no need to insult them by doing burnouts in front of em.

took the big block out yesterday with the grand daughter...  did a 150' sideways burnout... she loved it.

of course... everyone does.   and why wouldn't they?  

Don't you guys ever do anything just for fun once in a while?  just to get the juices flowing?

Perhaps some people should consider buying themselves a nice dildo… It would be a much less expensive substitute for a noodle than the hopped-up cars and speed fines.

Wonder if there's some kind of way that I could link a car phone into their radio speakers:


"beep, beep, beep... mileage indicator shows above pre-designated limit."

stereo which was previously blasting is auto-silenced on Mom's remote command:

 
Sweetheart, bring your friends back home and then come on back. You're car privileges have been removed for once again driving over the preset limit, honey.

You are so full of it here. :lol

You don't normally get to see the drivers face until just about the time of or right after the vehicle stops. Kinda hard to "target young people" because of that.

Of course it couldn't possibly be that folks who have sports cars tend to drive them fast and aggressively..... Nah, that couldn't possibly be the case. I'm sure folks who have sports cars, muscle cars and built up ricers all drive like the proverbial old lady on her way to church every Sunday morning.

I used to love folks with radar detectors. They would get so mad some of them would throw the detector across the car. It went off just in time to tell them they had been nailed.

:rolleyes:


I've witnessed the radar detector warning about cops beyond visual range. For laser there's the built in scrambler.

Only way to get caught with the detector is if the cop activates the radar just on the spot and doesn't illuminate the car in front of u etc.

I thought the detectors were BS untill I saw it in action. They're strictly illegal in Finland btw. :rolleyes:

You really should at least look into diversion with the local prosecutor. Might save you a bunch in the long run, not the short run.

The local prosecutor will let you plead to a lesser non-moving (ie: no points)  charge that will not go to your insurance company.

In return, you will pay a much larger fine, typically 2X or 3X normal and get some dippy punishment like going to a driver's safety class.

Your lawyer will know if this is possible in your area.

It usually is, after all this is all about money for the local taxing authority, not safe streets.
