Take it easy this weekend on the highway

[twentyninedollars]

FHP is cracking down on speeders and drunken asshats this weekend. Careful out there.

FHP planning aggressive patrols over the holiday - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

On the way to work, I already saw two accidents; and one FHP cruiser on the side of the I-95 pointing a radar gun at people. Lots of undercover cars too. And roadside sobriety tests. Drink at home, suckers.

Yep! Just got pulled over lol. I read this yesterday too. It wasn't a biggy I was getting on the highway and there were 2 cops on the on ramp hitting people with radar on 95 with units below waiting. Well as I was passing him I shook my head in a tsk tsk tsk manner but made sure I wasn't speeding or doing anything wrong myself. I myself got pulled over by this same trap months ago in my car.

Well with my luck the cop that I connected eyes with was an FHP moto cop and he came chasing down the onramp and got behind me. So I pull over thining wtf I know he didn't just pull me over for shaking my head. Well it turns out he pulled me over because as I passed him shaking my head I happen to forget to put my visor down lol. I normally put it down while im on the onramp right before I enter the highway.

So anyways he pulled me over and was like I'm pulling you over for your visor. So I handed him my license and reg and he was like it's a $101 ticket, Would you be ok if I gave you that? I responded politely I'de appreciate it if you wouldn't. He goes well you got your endorsement and left lol.

So yea just a fair warning be cautious out there and just know they got the planes out there too.

A little luck & not having an attitude goes a long way. Although, it's always good not to bait them with a head shake or anything else.

Congrats on getting out of it gearhead.....

Guys....98% of us on here are NOT RETARDED. I hate to preach but cops are trying to PROTECT people from idiots. Unfortunately, there gets to be a handful of squids who do stupid shit on the highway....Hit a car; kids have to see some tool without a helmet planted on the trunk with some brain matter on the back window.

Or, the cops look for the guys in a Civic with a fart can. (NOTE: If you aren't pushing 300hp or more or running sub 14 sec 1/4 mile times, your car should sound like a Yaris) This clown likes to rev his 1.5L engine and sound like a pissed off bumble bee. Then as it takes the 5 miles for him to get to 100mph, he can't drive for shit and then hits someone and his dumb ass is the one who lives! Go figure!

Anyway, I'm off of my soapbox. Be safe everyone....Cops are just there to "Serve and to protect"! :P

it's not the cops to watch out for...it's the PRICKS out there who don't know how to drive!
