First Time Being Pulled Over Stories

>be 18 year old
>driving in my Dodge Dakota on the highway headed down to the shore
>on first date with gril
>driving 70ish (65 zone), keeping pace with traffic

>merge into right lane to let cop by

>nigerian/ugandan cop (I nicknamed him Motumbo) walks out of Suburban
>says he got me doing 74 in a 65
>gril comes up with an excuse that she's on her period and needed to get to a rest stop so that's why I was driving fast
>she actually tells the cop this
>Motumbo gets weird look on his face
>We're both really embarrassed
>Motumbo gives me an $85 ticket (2 point infraction) and tells me to have a nice day
>"Y-you too."

The best part was that he got me doing 74, not the 105 I was doing two minutes earlier. The date still went well, at least.

First time was pretty basic, not very exciting.

>pretty normal stuff, "going a little fast", etc
>still fucking nervous
>"ever been pulled over before"

>let's me go with verbal warning

There was some bike event, so they were patrolling the area and that's the only reason they pulled me over.

>Be me

>state trooper appears out of nowhere like a ghost and tickets us for speed contest
>slaps me with a 400$ and says I had some nice control of the car, he'll slap me on the wrist but if it happens again I have to face real consequences
>friend and I too scared to go 1 mile over the speed limit for the next 3 months

Do revoked licenses actually do anything? It seems like one of those crimes (AKA most of them) where it only affects you if you get caught again. Just drive slow and don't wreck and who cares

>be me, 16
>vr 5L v8 commodore ute, catback straightpipe
>in town driving around, being too loud, you know the deal.

>"O-Okay"
>at this point im so nervous im holding back tears
>"well im going to let you off with a verbal warning mate, but if i see you again, i am going to go through you with a fine toothed comb!"

>Do revoked licenses actually do anything?

here, yes. driving with a suspended license/no license can actually land you in jail

Not pulled over as such, cause the car wasn't moving
>Be me
>Be on late shifts at work
>Own shitty Mitsubishi Space Star (It was cheap and could handle a weekend's gear and my bike)
>Have misfire and starting problem
>Buy shitty OBD reader on eBay
>Use it when check engine light comes on outside my house around 1am
>panda car rolls up as I have driver's door open and I'm under the steering column connecting the obd reader
>These niggaz think I'm hotwiring it
>I explain it's a piece of shit and they're like "yeah it is, poorfag"
>Show them obd reader and they leave

Story 2
>Own Mercedes Vito van
>Be filling with less-than-legitimate diesel I obtained at work
>Cycle bobby pedals through the back-street I'm filling up on
>Youcouldn'tmakethisshitup.jpeg
>First time I've ever seen police in the street
>Give him some bullshit story about using injector cleaner
>He tells me "give it a good hard rev, that should clear the gunk out"
>Rev engine with 20l jerrycan in full view of cycle cop
>He pedals on his merry way

Being a bong is pretty shill sometimes

Same user, and I drive a GLI

catback straight pipe is that anything like open headers i run on my camaro?

This except I'm only almost 25. It's amazing what driving a completely generic looking shitbox does, you become invisible to the cops. Add in knowing where the cops wait on the roads you drive and using a bit of sense and I've gotten away with some driving I really shouldn't have. Always makes me think of this shitty tumblr meme image. Here's hoping it lasts.

>27 yo
>8 years of driving
>never be pulled over
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

>Driving home one night with the wife, almost there
>Decide to gun it up a hill, doing like 50 in a 30 zone
>Some chav behind me in a ricebox decides to take this as an invitation to race and gets right up my ass
>Suddenly, blue lights, cop car races past and pulls both of us
>One of the cops comes over, asks me what we're doing at this time of night, I apologise for speeding, say it's late and we just wanted to get home, no idea who the douche behind us is etc.
>Tells us to just slow down a bit in future and lets us go on our merry way.

I was fully expecting to get a ticket, everything went better than expected.

The one and only time so far was in my 89 Mustang.

>on way home from work around 10 pm , stopped at store to get new headlight bulbs because one burned out
>coasting down hill going 5 over because why waste momentum
>see cop parked on side street
>sure enough he pulls out and turns on his lights
>pull over into a side street
>regular pulled over stuff, then asks me if I knew my headlight was out
>reach over and show him the bulbs
thinking back that was probably a really stupid idea but it was my first time getting pulled over
>tells me to drive safe and fix it immediately, then tells my my car sounds mean
Didn't realize I should have shut my car off, but again, first time.

Overall decent experience I guess. I'm extremely lucky there are few cops on my side when going on the interstate to my new job because I frequently go 10 over.

>Didn't realize I should have shut my car off, but again, first time.

is this a common thing when getting pulled over? do cops usually prefer people turn their cars off?

I think it gives them the peace of mind that you won't be running off when he can't chase you

lol i can hear your accents reading this

>be 22 yr old me
>just moved to Norfolk
>just bought a sweet crown vic police interceptor(retired)
>cruisin down the street
>see lights, get pulled over
>thought for sure I was pulled over so I could be complimented on my fine taste in automobile
>cop asks where is your inspection sticker?
>what's an inspection sticker?
>tells me to get my inspection done, lets me go
>went pretty well

>be driving for about 4 years now
>have never been pulled over
feels good man

What an asshole.

what IS an inspection sticker?

Every time I get pulled over I roll the window down all the way, turn off the radio, kill the engine, put my papers and shit on the seat, then sit and wait with both hands on the steering wheel. I speak politely, and say the absolute minimum. 3 out of 4 times I do not get a ticket. Guess it's kind of a courtesy thing, not making them have to think about anything other than whatever they pulled you over for. Being polite and boring during traffic stops goes a long way.

Color-coded, dated stickers that live on the license plates and/or windshield that serve as a visual proof that the vehicle has been registered, passed an emissions test and road safety inspection. Inspections and stickers vary by where you live.

Never been pulled over (knock on wood), but a year ago a police officer did catch me and my ex having sex in a parking lot. He let us go with a warning, but I was sure we would both get arrested.

it doesn't count if you dreamt it

>Be me 19 year old with a new probationary license (stuck with red p plates on my car for a year)
>Literally just got my license a few days ago
>Heading to gym to do muh squatz, and I looked like a stereotypical douchebag on his p's
>Get pulled over by the cops
>Guy in early 20's is in the lead
>"Hi there, had anything to drink today?"
>No, just water
>While chuckling "blow into this please"
>Comes out fine since I don't drive on the same day I'm drinking
>"Mind if I see your license?"
>Sure thing, I'm on my p's
>"Ok, lemmie just check your plates...yeah, all good. Have a nice day!"
>You too officer


All around pretty civil. Cops were polite, and since I was doing everything properly, they were happy.

Literally got pulled over yesterday for the first time ever. I've been driving for 8 years, have driven across America and back, drive 30k+ miles a year, speed all the time, and only yesterday got stopped for going 40 in a 30. Got a warning. Drove slower today than I have since I was 16.

>go 10 over
>charged with misdemeanor

never stepping foot in virginia again

Why would you use a picture of the Port Authority police for this thread? They don't pull anyone over they just block the bridge all day.

Its a courtesy, I shut off the car because I need the key to unlock the compartment that has my insurance and registration. Also if its dark out I'll turn on the interior lights to show the inside better. Its appreciated.
