average speed on the highway outside my house is about 90, speed limit 70. when a cop comes out its like a pace car for the Daytona 500
That made me laugh out loud because I can see the tiny Toyota Avalon pace car being followed by 30 speed demons.
its similar here, the speed limit is 55-65 depending on where you are, and the pace is 85-90 and a lot of people go much faster than that. When you pass a cop on the side of the road it's like a braking distance competition.
@VJ Sev7veN oh yeah, all of the above.
@@bobtheguy6241 you in Jersey? Because you just described driving on the Turnpike to a T.
As someone from texas, you really have to be moving to get pulled over. You'll be going 85 and a state trooper will pass you at 95
So.. Hear me out here, a ceramic coating, On my lawn mower.
Fuck yea. AvaLAWN King, baby.
The best part about it is that is that grass won't stick to the bottom of the deck.
@@bikecrew5892 the funny thing is, my mower is deckless.
So you want to ceramic coat your Honda?
@@Akky_08 Its actually a Husqvarna. need to clean up some rust first.
Got pulled over by a local cop today in my Tbird. Cop: "why are you out here making all this noise?" Me: "I'm trying to fix my transmission" Cop: "Okay, have a great day!"
local cops usually are nice. for someone like me who been back and forth through states. i do notice some small town cops will pick on out of state people. easy to write ticket, mail in fines. no courts usually cause who wants to drive 100s of miles to fight a 50 dollar fine....... but it all depends.

One dumb thing that he probably does all the time when he thinks no one is recording.
Casey simply respectfully says, "This is not the 944 you're looking for."

The cup holder from a BMW E34 fits the center console of the 944 if you're looking to not hold your mug in your lap anymore.
Wait what, ive got a 94' E34 540i and it annoys me so much that it doesnt have any cup holders. Were they an option?
I'd like to start by saying, you are right. Most cops are pretty cool and got into law enforcement for the right reasons. However, policing for profit is absolutely a big problem all over the U.S.
Generally its not the officers themselves behind it. Either they are incentivised by politicians to write tickets (i.e. write x number if you want to keep your job), or municipalities install things like speed and red light cameras. Things that are shown not only to have ZERO impact on safety, but also may increase the number of incidents because people are way more likely to go full ABS panic stop to avoid an expensive automated ticket, and get rear ended.
Bottom line is, there are little towns whose economies have been in decline for the last few decades all over with crappy, desperate local government who generate more than HALF of their total revenue through tickets. There are little towns in Georgia and Louisiana who have recently been busted for generating over 90 PERCENT of their total revenue through fines and fees.
Well said.
@@snek9353 Thank you. Criminologist. Couldn't help myself.
And then there was the civil asset forfeiture scandal in an Alabama town; it got so bad that when citizens found out about it, they ran the officers in on it out.
So do you think things like ticketing for income and ticket cameras (those scare me) are mostly used in smaller towns/those that are really strapped for money?
@Rob T true, but do you think there's any truth to the fact that, like he said, especially in bigger cities it's just not worth it financially to have cops everywhere, and bigger cities would, I presume, have better ways of making money, and it would simply be more difficult/expensive to thoroughly cover a bigger area?
Funny story. I was on my way home from visiting a friend, going 80 in a 65 on the freeway. Other traffic was passing me but of course me in my 944 got pulled over. Now obviously I was speeding but it’s frustrating when everyone else is also speeding, (even the officer himself was going above the posted limit). Now obviously I was annoyed but I owned up to it. I didn’t argue with the cop or try and fight with him. I stated my case but of course it didn’t matter.
Fast forward about a month and a half later. I was involved in a very minor accident. You’ll never guess who the officer was that showed up. You guessed it! Guy that pulled me over. I thought I was done for. To my amazement, he was kind, and was even happy to see me. He got out of his car and was asking me questions about my 944 and even checked out under the hood. He let me go and even console me for what had happened because I was beating myself up pretty bad. (Was my fault rolled off the clutch into someone in a difficult intersection)
If you bring attention to yourself, you are going to get pulled over, and piss them off. Regardless of what other people are doing.
If you treat them like humans, it might come back and save your butt in the long run.
I would like to add that today, I was in the right place and right time. Someone pulled out right in front of me and cut me off and would have side swiped me if I hadn’t avoided it. The sheriff that was turning left next to me made quick work of that guy lol. Finally. The automotive gods blessed me. There was a cop when I needed one. 😂😂😂😂
Casey, I'm a 26 year old. I came from a C7 Corvette and now have a 03 S2000 for track/autocross/nice weather and a bright red 2015 STi.
My S2000 has aero and I have been stopped for my exhaust (which is a header+HFC+single exit with muffler). And being respectful and telling the officer it's a car I use for competition to keep their roads safe has usually faired me well even though I haven't been speeding.
However
My 100% stock STI has cops follow me for miles just watching it. It's so bad that I'm considering selling the car. I seriously have gotten to the point after 10minutes I just pull over. Usually they throw on their lights and ask me what's going on. I just pop the hood and said it's running hot and they go on. My 6 hour drive from Florida (traveling nurse) I pulled off over 20 times and was pulled over twice.
One officer was extremely cool when he pulled me over, he mentioned if he had the car he would be Hooning it. He asked about my Scrubs and mentioned his sister was a nurse. He told me where a good restaurant on the state lines was and told me to follow him. It looked like the opposite of Baby Driver!
In my 60’s and retired. 43 years on fast motorcycles with a couple strong cars sprinkled in the mix. I haven’t had an accident or a ticket in 37 years. For the vast majority of my life I had a huge respect for law enforcement. Most of what you just said is spot on. But some
data is clearly missing from your outlook.
Please don’t let blissful ignorance cloud your vision or drop your guard.
Excellent comment & I'm in complete agreement with you.
What do you think is missing?
@@VAspeed3 There are some jurisdictions that DO "police for profit"
@@rosebarnes9625 you think? Like cops getting bonuses for pulling over more cars or something? I've heard people say things about cops having a quota to fill every month or something but it's hard to tell if that's truth or just urban legend.
@@christopherpape4823 I can see it just by the amount of officers I see per day along the side of the road at certain times. Around my home area its the middle if the month.
That being said I haven't had a ticket in years. Keep it to around 10 over or so. Don't tailgate. Drive in the proper lane. All of my speeding tickets I've ever had when I was younger were for more than 15mph over the posted limit. I've never even been pulled over for going 10 over even when they are zapping.
When I was on one of our local police departments part of your annual evaluation was the number of tickets you wrote. You were expected to write a minimum of 60 tickets per month. The amount of the ticket was broken down to 50% to the department that issued the ticket, 25% to the police academy, and 25% to the state. So there is money being made.
Yes, plus all the money they get from lucky stops. Rather it be drugs or money. If you have cash, its confiscated and you better be able to prove it. Also there is lawyers which are not cheap, and they are all connected!
So for a 20 day month you wrote 3 a day. Not a lot where people seem to think speed limits are suggestions and not the law.
I used to have a car with 'go faster stripes' on it. I was speeding slightly when we all passed 3 state troopers on the side of the road, but I was only going as fast as the 10 cars ahead of me. Guess who they tried to pull over? Me. Fortunately I saw the state trooper coming up at speed (but no lights) behind me. And also luckily, an Army convoy was in the right lane and I was just about at the front of it. I passed them, took the next exit and drove on some unknown road that ended at a logging company. The trooper was stuck with the convoy blocking them from the exit. No one was at the logging company, so I just waited it out. Had a snack, then went back on the highway.
And yes in Louisiana, the cops are there trying to make money. And they will ask if you have cash and if you say yes they will take it and say it must be drug money. If you don't say yes they will claim they smell pot and then search you and the car and take anything of value even though you had no drugs and never used any.
Ahh.. the I see you coming bailout maneuver... always a good way to find interesting out of the way locations.
And I have heard some scary tales from the south about getting clipped over the limit...
LOL, see now that's the way to evade, done things like that myself a few times. One is kinda funny and a good lesson in not driving a flashy car. I was hanging with a bunch of Honda ricer guys(late 90s). They had gone to a parking lot and set up a bunch of cones to play around. We were having fun then all of a sudden there were cops coming from every direction. Most of them took off running, a few stopped, I in my not flashy Datsun 510 just stopped in a parking spot and leaned my seat back. Those that stopped the cops stopped for a bit, took their info, told them to stay put, then went and joined the chase. I however must have just looked like a parked beater, no cop approached me. After the cops left, I said later to the guys left sitting and casually drove away.
You talked about how cops aren't out there trying to make money by buying tickets, but how would you explain cops giving tickets to people going 5mph over using speed traps?
It is their bosses, the local politicians. A cop doesn't care if your 10 over safely.
Quotas
Pavorish...haven’t you seen Boy Meets World? “It’s a speed trap”...lol
People, I can save you 14+ minutes of your life: Casey avoids speeding tickets by never speeding... you're welcome.
"same people that are hoarding the toilet paper," lol, instant like
In the state where I am, its a “super speeder” state, so if your going 5 mph or less, its a warning only as long as your not in a school zone or high ped area, acting really stupid, etc. They largely won’t bother with you. If your clocked going 14 mph or less, your fined but its no insurance points off, typically if your cool and the cop is cool, they’ll write the ticket down to 14 if your busted under 20. On the rural interstates, State police will rarely bother with you under 80, because they are focused on “super speeder” fines, but local police will. I respectfully disagree, speed enforcement is a business in and of itself, with even local PDs sitting on the sides of interstates in rural counties here.
Cool, what State?
I guess Michigan lol
@@shaikhahmed7929 sounds like it
Terrible that people are going so fast. If you can't handle the speed limits maybe you should give up driving. My father always said drive as if you were taking your road test. With that theory you will not speed and you keep your insurance rates down and above all less accidents.
Most speed limits in the U.S. are not set on the 85th percentile.
I must admit I do get aggressive especially when left lane hogs come up. Down in Charleston people sit in the left lane with two lanes to the right. Often Bumper to bumper doing 70-80mph and the posted limits are 65-55.
The contrast between getting pulled over in my NSX vs my 1990 Accord is astonishing. In the NSX I'm treated with overall kindness from the police, and they always let me go. In my accord I'm treated like a dirt bag kid that up to no good. Its insane. But interesting.
Yeah the car absolutely matters, just not in the way most think. Cops are looking for dirtbags with no insurance, suspended licenses, etc. If you drive a car that's common to those types or looks like shit you're more likely to get stopped.
How often are you stopped to be able to make these comparisons? How about slowing down or is that too much to ask.
I know I'm late to the party, but the difference couldn't be more stark between when I drive my beater '06 cobalt versus my wife's fairly nice SUV or my Miata that's in good shape. Especially as a younger looking guy
@@shuper_j5819 finally this guy shows up!
If you ever wondered, this is always the best way I've found to think if you enjoy sports car driving! What are your experiences?
Basically, don't hoon around on public roads, don't stand out, use some common sense, be courteous. Have fun, but don't be an idiot. Be gentlemanly, truthful and respectful if pulled over. I have talked my way out of tickets I REALLY deserved to get, by being friendly, respectful, and owning up to what I was doing.
My experiences have me no longer driving "sports cars". My car these days certainly isn't slow, but it's grey, four door and not typically thought of as fast. In most situations I can actually drive faster with less worry cause I don't drive a sports car. In our current police state "grey" is absolutely the way to be.
You need to read my comment Casey !!! I should've sent it as a reply.
I drive the same 944, same color.. an 84. I run it from Northern NJ to my buddies garage in Easton PA. I've hit 110 (yes I know this is dumb and careless) on a few occasions that I was in a rush, but it was late night with nobody on the road.
I've thrown Bilsteins I'm the front last year and am doing the rear now that it's warming. Also replaced all bushings for from end linkage.
As you've said in previous videos.. and 80s racecar doesn't handle like a 2000+ model. I've grown used to the balanced weight and when the rear end gives out on turns. But I'm always careful.
So far, cops don't care about a red 944.
Buying a 944 and then binge watching videos of 944s.... Then driving and listening to Danger zone whilst popping the headlights.... 🎶😁
Thank you Casey for putting this out there. You are absolutely right. We are all in this together.
I wonder how many times Casey had this conversation with himself on the way work and it’s just today he had the camera on?
Great video. Attitude is a big part of whether you get a ticket or not get a ticket. The last time I was pulled over was over 10 years ago in a C5 Corvette. I had just got it and got a little excited on the throttle and I was totally honest to the officer. He was real cool about the situation and didn't even ask me for my license and registration. He started telling me about his C4 Corvette and said he understands that sometimes they can get away from you. He then told me to slow down and keep a tighter rein on the car. You just be honest and respectful and 90% of the time you should be okay.
Yup. My last ticket was 96 in a 55. 2010 mazda 3. Ohio state cop going the opposite direction, the second I saw him I was pulling over. I had to wait like a minute for him to get to me on the side of the road lol. He just asked why I was going so fast and I was honest "last day of school I'm almost home" he gave me a 180 dollar ticket and let me go. That's a felony in Ohio and I should've been towed and charged. Nope because I immediately pulled over and admitted it, I just paid the ticket and I was good
This is solid advice!
Dude your so funny I keep coming back thanks for all the info
Couldn’t be more true with the advice!
It's not exactly true in other countries...
I've been picked out of the whole crowd twice, first was a warning second was a ticket :|. But turns out driving a lifted yellow WRX is not a good idea lol.
Thank you for this Casey 🙏🏿😁
I drive an FRS and cops are constantly looking at me. I even had a moment where I was coming out of Canes and a cop pulled up and was accusing me of doing donuts in the parking lot and kept trying to push me to admit it when it wasn’t even me hahaha
great advice as always
Man, you are spot on what everything you said in this, couldnt agree more!
Solid advice. Digging the beard!
My opener is ALWAYS " Beautiful day for a warning isn't it?"
That's funny, I'll have to steal that.
@@snek9353 please do! It has worked for me a few times
This one worked for me: get pulled over by a cop who bought the same car before his shift.
Not very reliable, though.
I drove a Crown Vic patrol car for 5 years ,, once got pulled over by the cop who used to drive the same car... chatted for a few minutes and drove away...
Beautiful sound of this engine!
I rented a Corvette in Florida, and went for a blat in a rural area. I went through a t-junction without 100% stopping without realizing it was a stop sign (since learned that's a big no-no in america) and blasted it up to around 80-90.
Two cops coming down the road saw me and turned their lights on, and I pulled over before they even got to me.
Was shitting bricks a little bit as ive heard rumors of american cops being hardasses, but they commented on how they thought the car was cool, and If i hadn't have stopped they couldn't have caught me!
They explained what I did wrong, I apologised, and they let me off with a warning.
Hahaha coffee cup in the groin...gotta love not having cupholders. Thanks, Germany! And I'm pretty jealous you found an early 944 without dash cracks.
Great video Casey. I also listen to the advise of the VinWiki channel, I forget who was talking about it, I think it was Rob Spaghetti, but just treat the officers with respect, and even roll your windows down and turn the engine off to show the cop you're not trying to run and have nothing to hide. A couple of weeks after watching that video I got pulled over in Jersey (For going around the left lane hogs, so I did deserve to get pulled over) and I did that trick, and lo and behold the stop was 10 minutes and I didn't even get a ticket. Did the same thing when I got caught speeding (Jersey is not a good state for me) a couple of months after that, the stop was 5 minutes, and even though I got a ticket, it really could have been much worse as I was doing 95 in a 65 and in Jersey that is a reckless driving charge, but I only got charged for speeding. So the bottom line is always treat the officer with respect and they typically will treat you the same way.
Man, I definitely could have used this advice a few times.
my friend story ( you are the best Silve) :
after the policeman pull over his car the policeman said. "I've been waiting for you all day." To which my friend promptly replied "Thank you officer, I came as quickly as I could.^^" 🤣🤣🤣
The perfect and most boring way is to stay in the right lane going the equal to or under the speed limit while behind and 18 wheeler. Or you can just learn where cops usually sit on the parts of the interstate or highway you travel the most on.
Issue with sitting behind a 18 wheeler is that it will kick up dirt and debris, and some states have lower limits for them the for car. IE Cali. One stretch of I5 is 70 for cars yet for rigs or anything with a trailer statewide is 55.
I think I've deserved every ticket I ever got. I've also, always been nice to the cops. They're just people. Have I gotten out of tickets I deserved? Absolutely! Be nice people!
I love your STAR WARS Lunch Box!
No cup holders in 80's cars. :)
Thanks for the dose of common sense. You're exactly right on all points covered. My parents and friends growing up would always talk about how cops look for that red sports car etc. LOL. IF that same red sports car is hauling ass, doing donuts, burnouts, or revving loud exhaust, then yes. I love the Star Wars lunch box. We grew up in the same era for sure.
I’ve lucky avoided several tickets over the years that I totally deserved. Amazing how far honesty and shutting your mouth when it isn’t needed or wanted will get you. Knock on wood haven’t had one since 2008.
I was driving on a road that I didn’t know what was the speed limit and just drove what I felt would be reasonable and a officer pulled me over and just asked for my insurance and drivers license and then came back with my ticket and told me how to pay it. I didn’t even know I was even speeding. I’m curious what kind of day they were having where they didn’t even ask me if I knew why they pulled me over or anything. I was in a completely stock Volvo S80 that looked super basic so it’s not like I looked like a hot boy. It’s not too big of a deal because I haven’t had a ticket since and I pretty much keep things to private roads or the track anyway. Just was weird that the only ticket I have gotten was when I couldn’t find a speed limit sign. I definitely know the speed limit now.
But I wasn’t driving, I was traveling!
Oh no, the road pirates will get you 🤣

I wish I watched this before yesterday when I got a 120mph speeding ticket on top of an hov lane violation😂

Any thoughts on best manual daily driver old and/or new?
Years ago i got caught on radar at 100 in a 45 and ended up with a $20 ticket for "waste of a finite resource" (basically getting bad gas mileage)
I had just got my S13 set up with good tires, opened up intake and exhaust and some fuel tuning. On an empty road through a tunnel i dropped a gear and did a pull to redline to hear it, cop was on the other side as i exited and started braking. I saw him, he saw me, and i just got on the brakes as hard as i could, flipped an e-brake 180 and was next to him before he could pull away saying "Sorry, ya got me". By this time the cop was actually sort of amused by my antics and cool with the fact that he didn't have to chase me, so he gave me the minimum ticket possible with no points.
was fooling around with my nephew on a side road in a mazda miata doing the lock the ebrake to turn the car quick. I did not notice the cop till after. We had the top down and he had his window open. I just came to a stop. Blink look over at nephew "See that what NOT to do with this car" then drove off reasonable. I think I saw the cop chuckling in his car. We were safe on a disused road.
Very good observations about the police needing to do their civic job to keep people safe and for the driver be aware of the need to maintain a respectful attitude when interacting with them. There are, however, some situations in which revenue for local municipalities is a high priority. I have been stopped and told by the officer to contest the ticket he was writing. The reason is that is if the ticket is just sent in, the state gets the revenue, while a plea to a lesser charge in the local court, like Parking on Pavement, or a seat belt violation results in all the money staying local. Always contest a ticket by going to court.
I got a ticket a few months ago here in NYC. I turned left from a left turning lane and got immediately pulled over and was given a ticket. There was a small no turn left sign on the traffic light which i did not see and i was not having a good day which probably added to me missing it. The GPS telling me to turn left with the left only turning lane did not make me think twice. I was upset after i was given which would be my very first ticket, and I was nice to the officer. The officer said they recently put the signs there. I personally think all the NO TURNS signs should be big with RED letters to make them stand out more cause some of them are very small and could go unnoticed.
Next we learn how to put on a seat belt.

I heard of a lead foot driver once who was driving the Ohio Turnpike back before EZ-Pass was adopted in OH. When exiting the Turnpike the tollbooth attendant waved his finger after looking at the timestamp on toll ticket calculating that point A to B took him less than 2/3 of the travel time!
Owned and enjoyed 4 different Porsche's since 2011. Only one I have been pulled over in, (knock on wood) was my Cayenne Turbo S. It was late and I shot across a rural intersection onto the road I live on and hit the speed limit so quickly that from a distance, I guess it looked suspicious. I got chased down and pulled, even though he didn't get a read on me.
I went to high school with him and our grandfathers were best friends. All good!
Hey Casey, what do you think about yt channels like Critical, where this guys posts videos about his getaways ?
Going with the flow of traffic. 20 cars lined up in the right lane. 10 mph over the speed limit. I was the last car in the line. I got pulled over and got a ticket. Speed trap for money. Period. This is a daily thing in that area.
Love the natures cup hoalder 👍🏼
Just fell in love with my first 80’s car, the bmw 635csi...
I drive a modified car in California and I have never been pulled over. I hope to never be pulled over. But I don't drive like a maniac. I keep a very low profile. I follow the advice that Casey is giving out. I continue to do so and simply...I just drive normal.
Triple digits is okay on country roads with very few other drivers either waaaayy a head or waaaay behind. Just having a little fun.
Last speeding ticket I got I was going 80 in a 65. This is in So Cal. Cop told me keep it 75 and under and more times than not you will not get lit up. Not sure it’s true everywhere but ever since I set my cruise control at 75 on highway going through the city in my 6 Speed Civic Si have not been pulled over since been years now. If I want to get on it and drive in a heavily spirited manner I go out to the boonies.
Why is your rear screen wiper in the wrong position? On a 944/968, the rear wiper ( if fitted) stands vertically on the screen and wipes down.... or is it just ‘buggered’ ! Lol
Shhh. Quiet folks, what we have here is a Porsche 944 968 enthusiast. No sudden moves, or you'll scare him away!
I’ve fibbed a bit with cops before...no tickets yet😅
Solid dad moment right here
Have a road close to my house that connects to 2 highways through my town and it has a huge sweeping turn and two ~1mi long straights on either side and I learned a ton of driving technique on it because there’s no cops around it ever because there’s very little traffic and fields on either side
I can't talk about the USA, but here in Germany Cops in certain cities have quotas for issuing tickets they gotta meet. And yes, speeding tickets are there to make money. Mostly not the ones issued by cops but the ones from speed cameras.
"It takes a lifetime to build a reputation, and just one dumb moment to ruin it."
How have I never heard that phrase before? That's a great point.
I bought the whole speedometer so Ima use the whole speedometer 😤
Any opinions on radar detectors and laser jammers?
Do you like the 944? They're relatively affordable now, and I'm kinda Into them
Been driving 31 years only one fine for speeding 82km in 60km had no idea of my speed. As I pulled on to the highway speedo stopped reading, traffic cop stopped me and wanted to know why I was speeding I explained the issue and was pleasant about it, that changed the mood of the stop he even helped find the problem opened the bonnet to find a freshly snapped cable. Because I wasn't an ass about it i got a ZAR 50 fine instead of a ZAR 400 fine,
I definitely need to take some notes... I just got yet another speeding ticket today. While driving a beige on beige grandpa-spec 1995 525i. So far my average has been 1-2 tickets a year for every single year I've had a driver's license. I should probably invest in a radar detector at this point too.
Damn, I've been lucky. Not one over the last 7 years. Quite a few warnings tbh though
"Don't be an asshole." Nailed it. I daily a rare and red sports car and it's the only vehicle I've ever owned that I've never gotten a ticket in. Why? Experience without ego. No loud pipes, no jack rabbit starts, diligent turn signal usage, and observation of road workers/ emergency vehicles. I only roll the dice on the dragon's tail on interstate on ramps at night. No tickets. More money for cruising.
In quebec it's generally understood that there is a very low chance of a cop actually stopping you for doing 20 over the speed limit on the highway and 10 over in 50 zones (km/h) and at night you'il catch a bunch of people cruising at 130-140 depending on the region (km/h)
You know what I love about this channel? Casey talks to the viewers like they're idiots. Which, on balance of probability, they usually are.
Casey Punch is a cool guy.
When I had a red 500 Abarth, I got the "red is a cop magnet color" comment too. Had no issues with getting pulled over in that car or even my bright blue BRZ. If anything, my old sun faded dark green '96 Infiniti G20 was the only car I got pulled over in.
The only automobile i have not gotten in a ticket in was my old bright red "sport" car. It was also the only car i have owned that got waved through random breath testing points without needing to be tested multiple times.
Own dark blue 944 and red 944 red 944 draws three x more stops. Red 911sc got the most, but those guys gave me a lot of warnings. Mostly they wanted to know what year it was or where I got parts.
Just stay with the flow especially on the highway
William St.George I tried to make that argument when I got busted hahaha. He said “there’s no such thing a a flow of traffic” I made it very clear that I disagreed with him but at that point I was getting a ticket no matter what 😂
being pulled over is one thing, up to officers discretion, but also the possibility of getting points on your license.
Photo radar there is no discretion, but also no points.
I personally have never been pulled over, but I have been passenger in a few vehicles that have been pulled over. Everytime the driver was respectful, and everytime they went home without a ticket. I have received photo radar tho (in borrowed van, fun explaining to parents), but that's it. Tho I am currently wondering if i have a ticket for 50km/h (31mph) over coming in the mail. Found some girls in an Audi in the middle of the night on an empty road...
I've had the "I thought it was a 55" but it was a 45 situation. There's 2 sections of the same road one is 45 one is 55 and both are hilly and curvy. I thought I was on the 55mph section and was going 62 (with a truck and trailer, but I digress). Passed a cop driving the opposite direction as I pass the 45 sign, oops. He did a u turn but I was just honest and he was cool about it. He knew what I was talking about because it all looks the same. I was in a company labeled truck though, so that may have helped. (a FOP sticker from "shop with a cop" helps too 😂)
Have you expressed an opinion about the new C8..?
In Alberta, Canada, private security are hired to shoot laser for speeding tickets. Often they will hide behind blind spots, at bottom of hills, in pair distanced apart so when you think you are past the first one, the second one nails you, etc.
What’s being in the right lane have to do with anything?
The best advice for speeding is, time and place. Location, location, location. Know where the speed traps are. And as you said, no speeding in populated areas.
I think most unsafe speeding scenarios are created by left lane hogs.
I've had my Charger SRT upto 150mph. Was it on a busy highway in the middle city? HELL NO! It was in the middle of nowhere on a flat, straight county road with the only ears listening were on the rows of corn that surrounded me.
Having to travel the distance doesn't mean you have to take the well beaten path..
Love the 944
My husband got pulled over once for "improperly passing a horse." The officer couldn't tell us what the "proper" way to pass a horse is.
Little do people know im in my white 2 door mk6 golf R with 320hp. Most people think im just driving a regular golf! highly reccomend.
I've been pulled over 3 times in my life. Every one was a learning experience. Once for doing 11 over in the middle of nowhere. I was doing 56 on a back corn field flat af road, didnt realize the limit was 45. (warning). Once for expired plate on a work vehicle, (warning bc not my wrong doing). and once for following a bit too close (warning)
While I certainly think vehicles are profiled, back in my 20's I had two different red super charged coupes, excessively broke speed limits often, and never was pulled over. In between those two cars, I had a lowered mini-truck with ground effects & a 4 banger. That truck drew tons of attention & I was pulled over multiple times, only once for slightly speeding.
Never understood those people who give cops a hard time, by refusing to roll down the window, or show their ID, being belligerent, questioning a cop in an aggressive way, etc. You turn a traffic stop that may be ten, fifteen minutes of your life into hours by being arrested and taken down to the police station. As Casey says be chill, don’t make a bad situation worse.
In my 25 years driving on the NH/MA highways for 30+ minutes every day i've pretty much always stayed 10 mph over the speed limit and i've never been pulled over for it. Just maintain decent distance to the car ahead of you and use the left lane for passing.
