65 in a 35 zone. I'm so proud, and to-be $184 poorer. My first time!

Um does anyone remeber what the law is for getting your licence taken away? I can't remember..I'll look it up. The officer was pretty nice anyway...

That's hardly something to be proud of...

I think it's more of an accomplishment to speed on a regular basis and never get a ticket.

thats state by state basis, in kentucky 21 over and you go to jail, or can that is. also it qualifies you for a wreckless driving ticket on top of the speeding ticket, go to court with that and you loose liscense for up to a year

as a side note, wreckless driving carries a 5 point violation which is one less than a DUI

Ahh, I just found out. For drivers under 18 (me) 26 mph over means 90 day suspension of license.

26-30 mph over means 5 points on your license. I'm not sure if I'll get a hearing, but maybe I'll get a nice judge

Yeah it wasn't really a residential area, just some houses at the crest of a hill. I was endangering no one, I always make that a rule.

Anyway, I'll most likely lose my licence for three months.

I look at it as an oportunity to save money and owrk on the cars.

You just have to drive a car that looks not-so-good, and your troubles will dissapear. Pam was way too good looking to get away with much.

I really shoulda known better. These smalltown cops always sit in the same place.

Hell, I'd get a daily driver if that's what it came to, but I'd never want to drive it instead of my seven.

I was doing 130mph on the highway at 3 in the morning one night and luckily there was a friendly explorer which flashed his lights at me to let me know about the cop up ahead.

Boy would that have been a bad night!

One time me and my friend were hauling *** on the highway doin 120 and there was a cop ahead of us! I went from 120 to 65 in like 3 seconds! That was an adrenaline rush.

BTW I do this at night when there aren't lots of cars there.

hahaha oh man sorry I shouldn't laugh...

There's this one road between my friend's house and mine that has a "deaf child" sign and one time I was doing my usual 70 in 35 (it's not dangerous, trust me) and we were joking about a deaf kid being in the road, "Timmy get out of the road!!!" "maaaaawwuuuaaaaaahhaaaaoooww... butterflyyyyy!"-BAAMMM!!!


Holy hell I'm a horrible ******.

ahhhh.....the horror.

I'm currently driving on a suspended license. Its suspended for 3 months for having 26 points on my license in Indiana.....which I guess is a lot, anyways, its suspended from September 26th until December 26th IIRC.

I'm driving because its easier than riding the dumb *** 22cc gas scooter I have to work. (Sure, its fun to goof around on....but cruising past a high school as all the girls are leaving for lunch......not so cool).

SO yeah...well....today I was heading to the post office, to ship out more ebay stuff, and this crappy old Taurus just stops in the middle of the 2 lane, no passing road.......no signal on, which turns out to be for their left turn. While I am behind the person, I am revving it from 1k - 9k like 30 times. I suppose the horn would have worked, but it doesn't make all the cool POPO POPOPOPOPOPOP noises.

FINALLY this jerkoff 147 year old lady turns, and I start to take off......and what do I see in the parking lot she just turned into (church) but a nice Mr. Motorcycle cop.

F***in sh*t. I was just bein a jackass in my car on a suspended license IN FRONT OF a cop.

Thankfully, the rotary gods froze time, and the officer didn't bust me. I've had it happen before on a suspended license (....see 26 points above) and I know they would have just gave me a hefty ticket and made my girlfriend drive the car back home....but damn. Close call. When I saw him, I almost crapped my pants in cloth interior.

Oh man that's not cool haha. I'll probably end up riding my bike to work and having my friend pick me up. That's gonna suck but hey, it's the price you pay for having fun I guess.

I'll definitely be finding some large parking lots and going to the track so I can keep driving somewhat legally.

Do any of you know if autocross events or drag strips will let you race with a suspended license?

I think you can get a permit which will allow you to drive to WORK ONLY when you have a suspended license.
