so i am up in orlando visiting a friend. it's a hick area. I am out on the back country road, it's nice to be going around the curves around 110mph, very few cars, not sharp or blind curves. good fun.

All of a sudden I see an SUV coming at me with what look like running lights. Something didn't look right. I brake hard, next thing my radar detector is going off. He nailed me.

clocked at 89 in a 45. He said since i was cool about pulling over (I pulled over even before he turned around, cause I knew he got me) that he was only giving me a moving violation. not recording the speed at all. WOO!

Radar detectors are pointless if they only turn on the radar when they see you. I need to work on inventing a cop detector... billions i tell you.

The good news is, I got my new battery in. For those that don't know, you have to remove the rear wheel to change the battery. I also got my flip up DVD player in. Building a small fiberglass box for a 10" sub tomorrow.

moving violation equals what in the state of FL?

Failure to obey traffic control device, running stoplight, driving with blue/red neons or strobes... Even playing music to loud is considered moving violation depending on where you are. As far as points go, it's usually 2-4 points depending on the infracation and the officer.

plus it was only $150. 44 miles over the speed limit, with a speeding citation, is like $350 in the city i got nailed.

That's pretty nice. I got a ticket for doing 62 in a 50 (Yes, I was actually doing 62. Refer to another thread where I said that cops never give me a break ). Anyway, the ticket cost me near $500 and my insurance still went up.

I hate Jersey.

I was doing a good 130 on a highway in Delawhere? when a cop merged on next to me, I slowed, he got me at 89, I got a ticket for 59 in a 50.

Yes, sir. No, sir. Do you have any vaseline, sir? Thank you, sir.
