The title explains it, lets hear it. How many times have you been pulled over, what for, what ended up happening and for statistical reasons what color was/ is your car?

Ive been pulled over 3 times in my silver tib

1st time - Pulled over for suspicion of purchasing drugs... lol long story short, they searched my car, didnt find anything, basically told me i got pulled over for being white in a bad neighborhood.

2nd time - Bout 2 weeks after my first incident i was pulled over for doing 71 in a 55, but i got lucky when i was called a few days later and told the ticket was dropped for some reason that i still have no clue why.

3rd time - Just a few weeks ago, i was pulled over for having the male genitalia drawn in the dirt on the back of my car, cop said i could be arrested for disorderly conduct, but still no ticket.

For being unlucky, ive been relatively lucky with no tickets so far.

So lets hear your stories, i know you got them.

I've been pulled over 3 times.

1st time in my old candy paint orange camry (got the car for a steal but looked ridiculous lol)- Anyways, I got pulled over in Miami for my tints being to dark... (they worn't) it was evident they just pulled me over because of the car. Result= no ticket. However, being harassed by the police was the main reason I got my tib.

2nd time was in my tib- I was on campus by greek village (next to the police station), well I missed the stop sign at the roundabout (never had been in greek village before) and I was going a little faster than the posted 10mph. Result= no ticket... and a couple jokes between the cop and I lol.

3rd time was again in my tib- Some guy got behind me and was riding me. In a fit of road rage I gunned it and got clocked at 89 in a 70 ( I have a feeling I was doing a little more than that and the cop knocked it down.). Result= ticket, took the online class which doesn't put points on your license and has like a 18% discount on the fine.

Twice for me. First time was in WV, I was there for a wedding. It was late at night and I was trying to find the hotel, and needed to turn around. The road was completely empty (2 lanes each way with a turning lane), and I almost went into the wal-mart parking lot, but decided to go all the way around in a u-turn instead. Anyhow, only one car was around, which happened to be a cop. He pulled me over and gave me a warning, because 'U-turns are illegal in WV'. Even though I clearly had a AL license plate on... Right... Alabama guy knows every weird WV rule. Sure...
Other time was when I was cruising the interstate and trying to pass someone. He was just camping in the left lane right next to a car, so I couldn't get past. I was following the normal 2 sec behind him and we were all doing the speed limit. Suddenly he sees a police hiding on the side of the road, so he decides to slam on his brakes (assumed he was speeding, and slowing down would prevent him from getting a ticket....) Anyhow, I wasn't quite ready for that, and I don't like to slow down like that when I see police, so I ended up getting pretty close to his back end, just as we were passing the policeman. He pulled out and pulled me over. Real nice guy, said he just 'wanted to make contact' since it was a Friday afternoon. Checked my license and I was good to go, once I explained the situation. So note to all of you out there - don't bother slowing down if you see a policeman. By that time it's already too late, and it's about as good as admitting your own guilt. Plus it ticks off the guy behind you.

I've only been pulled over twice.

The first one was in my Elantra running a stop sign in a less then desirable neighborhood.

Second ticket was for "display of power". I was coming home from a meet in Maryland and was passing a M3, going alittle too fast in a 65mph zone, and the cops saw my front tires light up in 5th gear going about 90mph. Luckily I knew the cop, and was able to get out of it!

I was pulled over once or twice.


I had a 85 camery
I was leaving a friend's house, the wheels spun on ice, they stopped on the pavement, my differential gear busted a hole in the transmission and landed on the ground. My buddy and I got out, found the problem and started singing "piece of shit car" and kicking the tires and stuff... I guess a neighbor called it in and an officer came up behind my car ( we were sitting in it) and wrote us both tickets for disturbing the peace. Ticket was dropped.

I never got a speeding ticket because there were no speed limits on the higways


I was doing 35 in a 45 in my 66 impala and the officer pulled me over and gave me a warning
I was doing 65 in a 45 in the same car and the officer gave me a warning
I was doing 45 in a 35 and the officer gave me a warning.

I was never pulled over in my 91 civic DX hatchback, my 2001 escort, my 85 Cavalier,

I've been pulled over a few times in my tib.
Once for speeding in Montana 90 in a 75, paid ticket
Once for headlights, was told they were ok. Again for headlights, was given a ticket, pulled out the laws and showed the officer they were OK. Told him to check with his supervisor because they were OK 2 weeks ago, got the ticket anyways.. Then when I left, his buddy pulled me over and told me I accelerated too fast, so he wrote me a ticket for wreckless driving. I saw the MP's boss about the headlights and the ticket was thrown away. Then I went to JAG and asked about the wreckless driving and the officer wrote on the ticket that I was swerving through traffic, I went into oncomming traffic, I was drag racing and all kinds of other stuff that's physically impossible for a lowered car on a deserted road with a median in the middle of the night. So that ticket was thrown away
I was pulled over for doing 85 in a 70 trying to pass my buddy, because my buddy passed me and was supposed to be following me, but he was busy messing around with someone in another car and we had to turn off in less then a mile.
I was pulled over for doing 75 in a 70 and improper tint, warning
I was pulled over for brake lights not being bright enough, warning.

whew... That's all I can remember.

The remainder were things like "Swerving" & "Going too slow" frig i've been pulled over 4 times for going parking.

Oh the tibby is black.
