[SilverTurboRidin]

when was this http://www.delvalracing.net/Forums/html/emoticons/shortbus.gif

[07BlackSS]

Tonight when me and Gorilla Unit left we were flyring on I-95 on the way home with a Black Si. We got F*cked in the butt. I really don't know why but I got off really easy....Gorilla Unit and the other Civic weren't that lucky......

[G1GSX]

i got pulled over at 118 at 330am one night the cop pulled me over asked where i was going and why i was going so fast i told him i just worked 12 hours and wanted to get home he was like just slow down have a good night and got back in his car and left . :cool:

[07BlackSS]

Damn thats sweet! Lucky you! Actually I got really lucky tonight too

[Gorilla Unit 33]

this is such bull****

[WhiteXFire]

Unless you somehow talked your way out of it, which I doubt, they probably actually timed LJ and estimated how fast you two were going since you were all together. So, for some reason, instead of giving you all the same ticket, which they can do even by visually estimating your speed based on him (or just putting his speed if you were going faster), it sounds like they gave it to the car they actually clocked (which I guess makes sense because the city gets money and you can't fight it based on the fact that they can't accurately time 3 cars at the same time with one Tracker).

[Gorilla Unit 33]

wow i need a cop asap

[07BlackSS]

Well thats kinda wierd I was behind them both I was in the middle, lj was in the left and the Si was in the right, This is how it looked



X= Gorilla
S= Civic Si
M= Me

He clocked me at 108 and Gorilla at 98.1. This just doesn't make sense....I guess he just guesstimated my speed but We were all definatley going 110 by the Betsy Ross Bridge. Just kinda doesn't make sense, I really don't know how I got off guys

[Gorilla Unit 33]

this is bull i dunn even know where the betsy ross is and it was like 5 minz after the civic was gone that we got pulled over such bull and by that time i was following you and wow this is bs

[WhiteXFire]

Well, actually that makes perfect sense because, as I was telling LJ, they tend to sit behind the divider on the right at that exit, timing people as they pass the end of it. So, if you were in the back, they would have clocked whoever was in front (and probably in the left lane). Did you pass them or catch up to them?

[07BlackSS]

All I know was the cop that clocked us pulled me over and said, after he gave me my ticket, "that he got my two buddies" and I asked him who and he told me the silver nissan and the black civic. I don't know why he let me off but he gave me a ticket for section 3111A which is a 100 dollar fine, no points and insurance will not know about it. I think they clocked gorilla and the civic and clocked me right behind him just following. That is the only reason why I think I got off was because I was following, I wonder what happened ot the Si.

[WhiteXFire]

If he was almost exactly in line with LJ, he may have gotten the same thing as him. But, if they simply clocked LJ (maybe LJ was more in front?), he prob got the same ticket you did.

With Tracker, they time you over a predetermined distance on the road, so they have to start and stop it based on a single car crossing the points.

[07BlackSS]

No they were about dead even....what I don't get is that we were all doin the said speed of 110. He clocked me at 108 and i got away. But a different cop gave lj a huge fine and was "clocked" at 98. Something just doesn't seem right man.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

i was "timed"

[07BlackSS]

i was "timed"

I have been saying clocked because that is what the officer said to me...he never said anything about being timed....unless it states that on your ticket, but the cop told me clocked.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

timed is on my ticket .... it bull**** im going to bed but puking first this makes me sick and i got work in an hour and a half

[WhiteXFire]

Any Philly cop on the shoulder or hiding on a ramp that pulls you over on I-95 is using Tracker. Radar detectors can't beat old-school technology of basically using a "stop watch".

Here's how it works, if you don't know...
http://www.radartest.com/article.asp?articleID=5500

Tracker is basically a competitor of VASCAR, but the same technology.

[07BlackSS]

EDIT.....I am an idiot again...thanks for the infor Crossfire! :thumbup:

[WhiteXFire]

Yeah I know but thanks for the info. I have been reading up on all of this **** tongiht and learned alot. I hope my Valentine Alarm system works quite well against this ****.
LOL...NO! That's what I'm telling you. Tracker is a device installed in the cruiser that allows them to manually flip a switch on and off as you pass over spots on the road. It's nothing more than a fancy stopwatch that does other calculations. There's nothing for a radar detector to pick up. Something like the Valentine will only help you on roads like the PA Turnpike where a state trooper hits you with radar. It's much more useful in NJ and other states that use radar more widely.

I am thinking of a four letter word that begins in 'F' and ryms with 'UCK'

[white2000neon]

yea it wasnt to good of a time for me earlier this week a trooper estimated me at 88mph on 95 thank god that i just slowed down to because right before that i was doin 105. Yea its a $191.50 ticket and how do you know how many points you have.

[WhiteXFire]

3362
Exceeding maximum speed (Miles over Speed Limit): 6 to 10 over, 2 points
11 to 15 (if violation occurs in an active work zone, 15-day suspension) and 3 points
16 to 25 (if violation occurs in an active work zone, 15-day suspension) and 4 points
26 to 30 (if violation occurs in an active work zone, 15-day suspension) and 5 points
31 and over Departmental Hearing and Sanctions provided under Section 1538(d) and 5 points
(if violation occurs in an active work zone, 15-day suspension)

[white2000neon]

Damn 5 points but he didnt say anything about a departmental hearing but im gonna try to fight it to try and lose the points.

[WhiteXFire]

FYI, here's what that means:

Excessive Speeding
When a driver is convicted for speeding 31 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit, the driver will have to attend
a Departmental Hearing. The driver will receive a written notice of the specific time and location of the required hearing. The
hearing examiner will review the driving record. Upon the Department's review of the hearing file, one or both of the following
will be initiated:
1. 15 Day License Suspension
2. Special On-Road Driver's Examination
If a 15 day suspension is initiated, the driving record will show 5 points upon restoration. No points are removed if a special
driver's examination is initiated and completed.
Failure to attend this Departmental Hearing will result in a 60 day license suspension.

Oh, and for anyone young out there:
Under the Age of 18
The driving privilege of a person under the age of 18 will be suspended if that person accumulates six (6) or more points or
is convicted of driving 26 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit. The first suspension will be for a period of 90
days. Any additional occurrences will result in a suspension of 120 days. This suspension is in addition to the requirements
of the point system found below.

[white2000neon]

if i go to court to fight it will i have to also go to the departmental hearing or will it be the samething.

[WhiteXFire]

if i go to court to fight it will i have to also go to the departmental hearing or will it be the samething.
If you go to court and you are simply found guilty, and you don't appeal or appeal and are still found guilty, then yes. The effect of a ticket is only seen when you are convicted of the offense. If they reduce it or you plead to something with no points, then no.

[white2000neon]

ooo ok i get it now thanks

[poolmike]

all three of you should have gone to prison. 100+ keep it on the race track - that is what it the track is for. We are all guilty of speeding but that is insanity.

[2point4DSM]

all three of you should have gone to prison. 100+ keep it on the race track - that is what it the track is for. We are all guilty of speeding but that is insanity.

I agree that it is insane. Especially if it were in any kind of traffic. But it was late at night, the roads were clear and they just wanted to get home. Obviously, the people in power don't agree that it is worthy of prison time. And I agree with that as well.

Still, some cops are cool and some are not. Too bad you got the cop that sucks, LJ. Hopefully you go to court and you get a judge that is cool. Or find a lawyer that is awesome. Good luck with it!

[07BlackSS]

Yea I actually didn't even know we were going that fast. It was one of those things where I was behind and I was just crusin' to catch up with them. When I saw how fast I was going I did slow back down to 75.

[2point4DSM]

I'm guilty of going a bit too fast on public roads as well. Usually it is when it is real late at night.

Some might argue that it is probably better to drive a little faster and get home sooner than to fall asleep at the wheel. Driving a little faster also helps some people focus better on the road, late at night.

[silver05bullet]

Never happened to me just last week i got a ticket for 72 in a 50

[MuddyREX]

I didn't know a Civic and Lancer could go 100mph. :mrgreen: I joke, i joke.

Fight the ticket, even though you guys were guilty. Most of the time, you can get the charges lowered. Sometimes, the police don't even show and the case gets dropped altogether. Good luck.

[dolphinS4]

Thats sucks guys. Been nailed at that trap before also, twice to be exact. Sounds like someone got the "good" cop and the others got the "bad".

Plead not guilty and try to make a deal. Or better yet, higher a lawyer experienced in Philly traffic court, don't just higher any lawyer out of the yellow pages. It's all who you know when dealing with the courts in Philly. Its gonna cost some money, but you'll be ahead if it works out for you. 5 points and a suspension is something you don't want on your record.

We've all done the same thing, so don't sweat it to much. Trick is not to complain all that much when you get caught. Sure it sucks big time, but its a chance we all take.

Good Luck!

BTW: in Philly, the cops don't have to show for traffic court. They might be there, but chances are they won't. It will not get dismissed if they are not there.

[SilverTurboRidin]

They can just takes a while to get there hahaha

[07BlackSS]

I didn't know a Civic and Lancer could go 100mph. :mrgreen: I joke, i joke.

Hahahaha was waiting for that. Actually he was in his altima and my civic is a beast...hahaha no it isn't!

[igo4bmx]

damn good luck guys
don't wanna seee gorilla showing up at meets in a bicycle

[Raven18940]

Well that's what you get for doing double the speed limit, sucks though. :(

[JoeScooby]

smart, people like you are the ones that make our life harder. I'm not trying to be a a$$ or nothing but we get bad raps with our "high peformace imports" No wonder why cops follow me for no fukn apparant reason.

[2point4DSM]

Btw, the cars involved in this incident are not in the same category as your "high performance import." If a cop wants to be a terd about import cars in general it's usually because he made up his mind about them a long time ago.

[dolphinS4]

Don't throw to many stones people. Wrong, yes. Would I bet 95% of the people on this board have done the same thing at one time, yes.

[MuddyREX]

I know I have.....

[JoeScooby]

Sorry, I will rephrase my statement. Weather it be Domestic Or Import, all the cops see are some heavy/mild/stock cars going over 100 MPH. Again we all get a bad rap, I cant count how many times a trooper or township cop has followed me for no reason what so ever.. not just some random turn left then right; im talking about for a good 30/35 min and he was going out of his town's area. Some cops followed me right into my apartment complex. If you think im wrong thats fine, I speed and I'm not going to lie about it.. but usually its not that much over the limit. Throwing stones no, mad no, pissed off at cops for thinking that everyone races and or speeds yes. H8 me if you will

[2point4DSM]

Weird thing is the civic with body kit and exhaust, etc, got the lesser ticket and the bone stock altima got the worse ticket.

Not sure what the other civic looks like.

And it's weird cops follow you around for "no reason, whatsoever." I really can't say that has happened to me in the last few years even when I was daily driving my eclipse.

It use to happen to me in the past when I actually deserved it, lol. I guess I sort of made myself/my car popular in the past.

[JoeScooby]

Thing is I never speed in towns, local roads, etc etc. I did nothing to deserve being followed. The only thing I can think of is stereotyping, again backing up my 1st post; thats what it all comes down to. Truthfully I think it goes for any type of vehicle, I have been followed by cops while on my R-6. To cops all crotch rocket riders are a bunch of speeders.

[Raven18940]

Don't throw to many stones people. Wrong, yes. Would I bet 95% of the people on this board have done the same thing at one time, yes.
True

[dolphinS4]

These guys were on I95, late at night it seems. Main reason Highway Patrol sits there is to catch DUI drivers. This is why I'm guessing one got off light, he wasn't drinking.

There's not a better feeling in the world when your stopped after 2 am without an ounce of booze in you, as far as I'm concerned.

[BlackBulletTSi]

Well it looks like I still hold the record. I got caught doing 125 on 95. It was my first speeding ticket and it will be my last. I did it as a mistake and thats the honest to gods truth don't care if you all believe me lol. I was expecting to be thrown in jail and everything and I wouldn't of mind cause I probably deserved it. However cop gave me ticket and told me to drive home. So I did. as of yesterday my ticket has finally been fixed in the court systems it was reduced to 85 in a 55 and I got 5 points. Also I did not recieve a suspension. Though due to court system being slow my license did get suspended but they deleted it off there records cause it was a mistake. here is a picture of my ticket www.xfradio.net/images/ticket.jpg

[snakeeyes]

someone has to ask the real question
how were any of these 3x17sec cars able to hit 100?

[white2000neon]

What did you say in court to get it reduced that much i gotta go to court soon and just wondering.

[DropTopChevy]

My V6 camaro can hit 120 and thats like a 16 second car tops on a good day while all of the planets are alligned.

[BlackBulletTSi]

Nothing everytime I went to just pay the ticket I got told by everyone there get a lawyer. So I did, if you guys want I'll give you my lawyers number if you have to go to Philly Traffic Court on Spring Garden ST. however for me I had to appeal it and go to the court on Philburt ST. That is the court that lowered it for me. My lawyer said he talked to the officer and struck a deal with him. PM me if you need his number

[BlackBulletTSi]

Any car can get up that fast it just probably took them about a half hour to reach that speed :) haha j/k

[99SL2_Modder]

someone has to ask the real question
how were any of these 3x17sec cars able to hit 100?

Someone has to ask this question:

Why would someone be an idiot and ask a retarded question like that, being as street speed has nothing to do with strip speed.

Minivans can slap out 120mph easy, but still run 18+ quarters.

Pointless posts are a waste of space, unless they're jokes.

[white2000neon]

Thanks ill PM u if i need his # my friend who is a cop in bensalem said hell try to get the points taken away at least if not everything. Boy did i learn my lesson from this one i havent gone more than 5 over since the ticket.

[Chair-Force]

BTW: in Philly, the cops don't have to show for traffic court. They might be there, but chances are they won't. It will not get dismissed if they are not there.

I work with and have alot of friends that are Philly cops. They love going to court because its extra money in their pocket.

[MuddyREX]

Yeah, don't they get paid overtime for showing at court for traffic citations?

[Gorilla Unit 33]

I work with and have alot of friends that are Philly cops.
one of them wouldnt happen to be boone would it? he had on like numerous medals next to his badge

You don't hold the record, trust me. :)
When driving in Maryland, assume all dark camaros weaving for 10 miles through traffic with an Evo and then speeding up out of traffic on the highway are undercover state troopers. :help:

[Little G]

Dude that sucks....

[On Sale]

I was doing 138 in eliza's dad's audi. and troll was with us in the back seat . and we were coming back from the races, and i was on i-95. Cop said i was a f-ing idiot and i should be locked in my trunk. then he trys to tell me my license is suspended when i know for a fact its not. so he then impounds the BRAND NEW AUDI, with like 400 miles on it. So i go to court and fight it and the tickets got dropped, and i got a pretty big fine. haha, never seen a cop sooo mad in my life.

EDIT: So blackbulletTSI , i now hold the record :rock:

[Gorilla Unit 33]

lmfao lol hopefully i can get the points dropped and ill pay the fine lesson learned for me man i never had points in my life

[dolphinS4]

Clocked at 121, under what I thought I was doing, on GSP at 6am. Pretty cool cop seemed more interested in my new car (2001 M3, one of the first shipped), writes me up for 90 in a 55. I go to court and get it busted down to 61 in a 55 with NO POINTS. I freaking ran out of that court room jumping up and down.

Still thank the Lord for that one.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

anything with no points i would take... damn u came up lucky though

[D Money]

Dude it will be fine. I got busted for street racing, wreckless driving, careless driving, obstruction of view, no seat belt, no front plate, and gdl offence of driving after 12. I walked outa court with no points, instead of 12, and only a 300$ fine. Not bad, but I had a nasty lawyer! Not to mention they impounded my car for almost a week.

[Gorilla Unit 33]

damn...

Nope, I still do. Although, you had a far worse outcome with the car being impounded and all.

[07BlackSS]

For JoeScooby, I seriously understand your rage bro! You can ask Gorilla Unit and anyone else that lives around here. WE ARE BLACKLISTED! Yes, around here, if you have any modifications on your car (exhaust, body kit, huge wing, Rims, etc.) and you are pulled over, you are automatically blacklisted. This means that a cop has a right to pull you over anytime after 12:00 at night to make sure you are not doing anything "suspicious". I have to deal wiht it all the time, especially comming home at 2:00 a.m. after closing Applebees. yes it's a bitch and I know what you mean.

In this instance, we were only doin 80 until the Si pulled next to me reved up and took off.

And Thirdly, Yes I know my car is slow, it has nothing to do wiht this thread, go back to page 2 where the joke was said and it's over. I am not offended cause everyone knows that I joke aorund about it all the time, it just gets very annoying hearing it from people I don't even talk to!

[IIelizaII]

...it was my birthday too :(

[05Accent]

thats very interesting.. yea when i got my ticket. i got timed. it said on my ticket 2.3 seconds using VASCAR. i got a 185$ ticket for doin 85 in a 55!!! bull****!!!!

[R33P3R007]

that just sucks.

[On Sale]

...it was my birthday too :(
technically it was 2:30 am, and your birfday was over at midnight. but yea, that sucks ass. remeber when u were breathing all over the cops face in the back of his car, and you were hammered, i was like sit the f-k back down and shut up before he smells the alcohol.... lol, the good ol days.
