How many times have you been pulled over

[wildcatwelder]

Probably 6-8 times my whole life. I'm 62, btw.


When I was 21 I was dating this beautiful, and HOT EKU student. She was a year older than me, so when she got her B.S in Occupational Therapy, she had to do two, six month internships. The first 6 months were in Paducah. I was not happy, lol.

We could only get together on the weekends, so the very first weekend I get a speeding ticket racing to get there. I was 21 and healthy. You know why I was speeding, lol.

It was on the parkway, and I swear on all that is holy, I hadn't seen ONE vehicle, not ONE, in @ 20 or so miles, so I was movin' on at 87 when, from the opposite direction should come a state trooper. There was no doubt in my mind he'd gotten me on radar, but in order for him to go west he had to go about a mile behind me and then rush up to catch me.

I was within a half mile from the next exit. I damn near took it to look for a place to lay low. Then, common sense took back control and I simply slowed down and pulled over to the median and waited for him.

Sure enough, in just a minute I saw him atop the hill I had just reached the bottom of, and he was flying with lights and siren coming down the hill. Halfway down he turned off the siren but kept the lights on. When he finally pulled in behind me and approached, me he was astounded I hadn't tried to run and hide, and that saved my ass. He could have arrested me right then and there, but instead gave me a ticket.

He just laughed when he asked me why I was speeding and I told him my GF was in Paducah and I was horny, lol.

Several speeding tickets when I was younger and stupider.

None since I've had cars with cruise control. Had a conversation with a highway patrol cop at a party about 30 years ago. She told me that they definitely go by the unwritten rule, "9 you're fine, 10 you're mine!". So, on the interstate I set my cruise at 8 over. I've passed hundreds of cops running radar since then, and none have pulled me over.

What happens if you’re a resident of Kentucky, but got a speeding ticket in Ohio last year and just kind of never took care of it?

Got one entering Indiana near Louisville, which is a speed trap, and i had lawyers mail me stuff and i called and paid them to get it taken care of for me.

I also just got texted about some tolls i must have missed and call them up and gave them my credit card to take of those.

Did you guys know that Kentucky can have the same license numbers on different types of plates? I got a ticket from Pennsylvania for Kentucky truck that had the same license number that I did but it was a different type of plate. Anyway, they threatened to jail me and come get me for not paying a toll. I hadn't been in Pennsylvania since 2017 and had never had that vehicle in Pennsylvania. I talked to them and asked them if they were going to come get me?
