[QUOTE="SonicVenum, post: 704349, member: 9018"] I've got to stop hanging around Marwane. This evening I was pulled over for the first time in the Cobra, and ticketed.:bash: Here's how it went: I was on my way home from school. I was only a few blocks from home when I decided to see if my clutch was still slipping. I was on a wide residential street, and there were no other cars on the road. I had just left a stop sign at a 4-way, then I punched it in 1st. I speed-shifted into 2nd at ~6800 rpm, leaving some nice rubber patches on the road. I topped out 2nd (~60mph), and I was happy because there were no signs of the clutch slipping. As I approached the next STOP sign at the T intersection near my house, I looked in my rear-view, and saw a cop car coming fast with his red & blues on (the intersection I had just left is down the street from the police station, I didn't look at the other cars as I went through:bash: ). I pretended I didn't see him, and proceeded to make my left turn, hoping he was responding to a call or something. He caught up and pulled me over. Him - Do you know why I pulled you over? Me - I'm pretty sure, sir. Him - Why'd you do that? Me - Well sir, I've been having trouble with my clutch lately, and I wanted to see if it would slip going into 2nd. That's the honest answer. **He walked to the front of my car, then came back.** Him - Do you have a license? Me - Yes sir. Here you go. Him - Where do you live? Me - Right down the street there, sir. That's my old address (on the license). Him - Alright. You know that was dangerous, right? Me - Yes sir. I'm sorry. Him - Do you think that was a good idea? Me - Probably not. Him - Not at all. **He walks back to his car.** So, now I'm like, "Damn, what an idiot! Here comes my first point. I guess I've got to go to driving school." I was hoping he wouldn't write me for something too crazy, and have my car towed. As I was waiting, another cruiser pulled up. It was a female officer (a little older than me, but kinda cute). They sat there and talked for a minute, while he was writing. While sitting there, I was moving my feet around, and I accidentally hit the gas pedal, and revved the car. Now I thought I was gonna get written for modified exhaust. I didn't even look in the mirror, but I don't think it bothered them. **He walks back to my car.** Him - Now, you know what you did was unsafe, right? Me - Yes sir. Him - It was very unsafe. Now, that being said, I'm going to write you a fix-it-ticket for no front plate. Me - Thank you sir. Him - Just sign here. Now this is just a fix-it for you for front plate, but be careful. Me - Yes sir. Him - Alright dude, take it easy. Me - Thanks man. And that my friends, is what you call being blessed. Thank God for that cop using his discretion to my benefit.:) [/QUOTE]
