Default Pizza Joins the Club

I can no longer brag that I've never had a ticket in the Crossfire. 84 in a 65 on the way to the airport.

I was zoned out thinking about the disaster that I'm flying into (other guy called me an hour before and said that within an hour of landing, I'm gonna wish I never went out there), and NEVER even saw this guy along the highway with his laser...

Worst part is, I was not having any fun, just in a hurry to get to the airport. Of course, I get here and my flight is delayed anyway...

(Didnt mean to go over 80.... should have set the cruise. Officer even said, "Yea, you really stood out - I knew you were speeding before I even picked up my Laser".)

BIG MISTAKE, you never wanna be the fastest car out there.

Yea. Wish I'd at least been having FUN.

My second ticket in a month. Last one was in a rented Captiva in Missouri
That one was $85, this one is gonna be a lot more....

Ouch Mark!
I've toned it down here lately.. seems the cops have been pretty thick lately around work. Co worker got pulled over last week but just given a warning.

No more 60 mph corner in 3rd (35 zone..lol) for a while. It's an industrial zone with no intersection, just a tight sweeping 90 degrees.

Wonder if that has anything to do with the "extra" cops...

That sucks PIZZA but I gotta say the police have racheted the program up.

I haven't received a ticket in 15 years until last fall. Now I have had four in just five months.

One was for the broken license plate on my trailer, the result of a just then fragged tire taking it out.

None in my Crossie but then it has been in storage a lot.,

They will pull you over for anything so be watchful, and be good.

Yesterday my friend got one for driving 47 MPH in the acceleration lane going on an Interstate. It won't hold as there were no signs designating a speed limit. But, it just shows,,,,,,tax revenues are down,,,,,,They are getting desperate.

The third day I owned my Crossfire, I got pulled....

I think I was going 110+ on the way back from Chicago. My detector went off, I started slowing down, but he still got me for 83 on a 70.

Had to BS with him for a little bit, but he did just let me go with just a warning. I was very thankful.

Havent had a ticket yet. But I keep my military ID next to my drivers license. Most cops and troopers are in the National Guard. Once you get them conversing about the military they usually let you go with a warning. That is if they had a "positive" military experience.

I have received 3 warnings in my Crossfires. It's either my smile or they find out I have a CCW. They lost their monopoly..............
