Post by drift-kid-s13 »

My story is i was driving on the freeway doing about a Buck 20 then a old ass fucker disided to come in to the left lane doing 50 so i hit my breaks to slow down and the for no reason he hit his breaks i swerve to miss him and found the wall and hit it needless to say i avoided him and he contiued driving on and I got three tickets speeding doing 120 in a 65 reckless and indangerment and failure to have car under control. the end result i get my license taken away for a year.

Fun time

I did get arrested for unlawful speeding right before I turned 18. Thankfully it went off my record when I turned 18. That's not too much of a horror story, unless you consider having to call your parents to drive a few hours to bail you out horrific-- which it was!

I didn't know the ticket was that much for watching-- that's absurd!

Probably "Accessory to a Crime" ...a felony crime at that.

There's was a big race at an industrial park off of memorial drive. Lots of people.....probably 40 cars and twice as many spectators. During the races, an older, bald gentlemand in a stock GT Celica drove by looking at everyone. We didn't think anything of it at the time, but when the comes swarmed in from both ends of the street we put two and two together. :evil: You could say we got "Paul Walker'd" :roll: And b/c the state of Georgia doesn't have a law against watching street racing they could only give us tickets for loitering.
Come to think of it....if I remember correctly, I think Syn was there that night in his red EG6. or maybe it was his brother Jason. :?:

470 for loitering? :shock: That’s insane. It’s like, $200 in NJ and that’s even a lot.

Its cool people around there get together in mass for a little fun. They don’t really do that here, maybe in Trenton, but I would rather eat razor blades than roll there certain parts of Trenton :P

I wish I knew how many tix I've had. It's a sh*t-ton. I got my license when I turned 18... like DjDorifto. I've been required to attend five defensive driving schools, and had my license suspended in two different states. I snagged my second GA license after my NY license got suspended... and then vice versa a year ago, when I lost my license for 97 in a 55 on 85S. I had to go to NYC about four times to get my NY license re-instated and validated... but it worked.

My insurance company HATES me, despite the fact that I've only been in one major accident when I was 19 (totalled (and barely I might add...) my 1st car), and one minor accident about 6 months later (took a 35mph corner at 65, and slid off the road).

Needless to say, I've improved my driving skills on the daily, and I drive MUCH better now that I'm 25 & have taken some performance driving schools. I'm far from perfect... but far from a kiddie driver as well.

I've avoided several major accidents as a result of checking my mirrors every 15 seconds... knowing everything that's going on in the lanes around to me, and anticipating everyone's moves... no matter how fast I'm going. My driving style may look crazy from the outside... but it's extremely calculated from the inside. Driver skill goes a LOONG way on public streets, but doesn't give you a license to reak havoc as you please on the highways.

(knocking on wood) i've managed to avoid any speeding tickets since i've been driving (got my license at 16 and i'm 21 now), but i do play pretty safe on the streets most of the time.

i did get one dumbass ticket when i was 19 though and that was for violating the state curfew (which only applies if you're under 18 and you're out past 2:00 am or something like that). the moron cop gave it to me because i was still on the limited permit you have when you're under 18, however my license didn't expire for another 2 years and the state does nothing to notify you about this. i did take it to court though (as the people wouldn't even let me pay it by phone at the time) and after the 2nd appearance, they dropped it right away.

Let's see, only 2 speeding tickets, pulled over 7 times, mostly stupid shit, running red lights, wrong way down one way street....
Most recently was Mon. night, squealed tires a little trying to catch a short light and then stopped at a red light and a campus cop comes up on me with his lights on. He starts out with "I should give you a ticket", but we were off campus so I'm not really sure he had jurisdiction, but I didn't want to find out. I really would've loved to see that ticket though, "Tires squealed-danger to society". Poor bored college town cops in the summer.

lets see, FOERST i got busted for driving off of the military base i lived on in japan at 15yrs old. legal driving age in japan is 18. they told me that i would never be alowed to drive in that country. sure enough they forgot and got my lisence any way. once i got that all hell broke loose. before i totalled my ca18 silvia i had about seven wrecks on it. and then my white sileighty went through two bumpers before i got the s15 front end and learned to stop hitting stuff. i paid $600 for that thing and i was not about to wreck it.
