woot, I'm a statistic 3 tickets...2 were for speeding

 

Well, i'm 17 and i've got 0 tickets so far. Hopefully this doesnt jinx it

 

3 tickets in the tc so far

 

0 for my XBs. just parking tickets, but i never pay them

 

You mean moldy or fermented?

 

just got pulled over last night. alone minding my own business following everything the car in front of me did and got slammed for failure to use turn signal and careless driving? said i was speeding and needed to use my turn signal to go straight on a road that has an off ramp... parents are ____ed off about all the BS tickets these local police are giving me so now i might have to sell my car.

-sucks bigtime

 

I got pulled over for having Toyota badges. The cop followed me, ran my plate, and thought I was using stolen plates because it belonged to a Scion.
Said he never knew what a Scion xA was so he pulled me over. I was already late for work and it just didn't help.

 

ROFL! Sorry about it making you late, but that's pretty funny!

 

though out the summer in my home town i was pulled over once and or twice a week . by the same 3 officers in my tc. i thought it was hilarious because they thought i was slangin crack haha then thought i was drunk . when you get to the point to where when the cop pulls you over and says your full name and asks you how you doing and goes " still see you havent fixed that stuff we talked about.. so when are you going to change your exhaust and put a plate on the front ? and take that cover of your rear plate and turn your bump down ?" and the cop did say "bump" haha never got a ticket for any of that tho but i did get ticketed for :
110 in a 40 (only reason cause a ford focus was messing with me and i wanted to blow by his a** ..ricer
illegal pass on double solid
plate cover
being a bada** on a Saturday night or as they call it bein suspect

 

damn

its not as bad as being the top ___ car's list...

 

no tickets in my two Scions, but I see by reading this why it's got such high insurance. I just don;t drive fast or not use my turn signal. do I have illegal things done to my car? yup. is there a reason to get stopped for them? nope. I don't drive dumb. Well, I did spin the xD but I didn't get caught. thanks guys!!

 

lol.. I ran into something similar as well.. I got pulled over last week by a paddy wagon.. They said my headlights were illegal, came back && handed me 4 summonse... 1 for EACH tint.. (well 2 front windows) && 1 for EACH headlight.. WTF.! which i thought was.. Ridiculous.. He def needed to meet that quota.. then.. 2 days later.. pulled over again for tints.. But got lucky cuz I asked for a break since I recently just got a ticket for em..

&& I also got pulled over once cuz the cop claimed I ate a red light.. He popped a violent U-Turn && I knew he was coming for me, so I stopped b4 he even got to me.. I positively knew I didn't. What sucked was that it was his word against mine && I know that I would lose without even doing anything! So he asks for all my stuff then tells me.. "Now that I think of it, the light was probably green.. The roads are wet, stay in the light.." IDK what that last part meant.. But I was like.. :? Uhm. Ok. BYe. -Stereotypical coupe pull over.

Question ! In NY.. Do they have to use that tint meter machine or not anymore? Cuz wtf.

 

ah ____. i'm one of those statistics.

 

I can relate had an 03 matrix i've been ticketed for illegal tint 5 times, once twice in the same week. Speeding 41 in a 35 (wasn't going that fast since light was red ahead of me). twice for exhaust too loud, beat those charges since va has no db level limit set. Reckless driving a marine in a turbo civic blew right past me on the 610 bridge in stafford east bound on the west bound side a cop had someone pulled over giving them a ticket. He then chased me down about 5 miles later in my neighborhood and accused me of racing when i told him that i wasn't because i was passed standing still he said he didn't see the other car because of the median wall there and the civic was lowered and jumped on 95 northbound. Needless to say my trix was still stock height radiant red tinted out that's all he saw with axle back exhaust and stock steelies at that time. The funny thing though i had a 98 civic hatch sohc no vtec Gude head package fully tuned for racing i never got a ticket in that was my daily driver

 

I cant speak for the rest of the country, but Northern VA is strick. I am in central va and have no problems, then again I obey the traffic laws on surface streets, I just ignore the speed limit on the highway.

Cops look for 2 reasons to pull you.

1. speed
2. failure to signal
3. running, rolling a stop sign. I stop 1 seconds, then drive off.

 

Been pulled over twice in mine. Once the cop in a small town wanted to actually look at it. I let him drive it even. he was polite and said are you in a hurry. I said no, and the ?'s started after that. The second time wasn't so nice. I was pulled over for window tinting which my tint is supposedly legal in this state. I was on my way to work and this cop must of had nothing better to do. i was pulled out of my car and asked if I had any weapons or drugs in the car. I was like no, and he asked for search. I said yes. Well fishing under the seat he found a keychain pocket knife. This thing was an inch long and so dull i could saw on my wrist for an hour with no blood. From there on I got the third degree. I was then asked if I had marijuana in the car? I was like do you F*&#ing smell marijuana in the car. All your doing is making me late for work! Needless to say after he totally dug out every possesion in the car looking for non-existant drugs and weapons I was given a warning for tinting and allowed to continue to work. Worthless cop!

 

Not surprised Scions are ticket targets. Considering mostly young people drive them and many are highly modded out. I got pulled over once and the cop expected a young punk to be driving.

 

Well gotta throw in my $0.02 in this discussion to concur with the data findings.
Since I purchased my tC back in 2005,
I have been the recipient of:
6 Speeding Citations
3 Non-Moving Citations "No visible front License Plate"
4 Non-Moving Warnings "No visible front License Plate"
1 Non-Moving Warning "Excessive Exhaust Sound"
All Citations either DISMISSED or DEFFERED. (Defensive Driving bores me so I don't bother)

Points on my License -> 0
Mileage on my tC->92K
Contempt for Traffic Law Enforcement-> Very High

The tC is being unfairly profiled.

 

OF COURSE PEOPLE WITH BUICK RAINEERS GET THE LEAST NUMBER OF TICKETS - IT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 5 OF THEM ON THE ROAD!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

the point i am trying to make is that i hope they also made the correlation that the most ticketed cars on the road (again, for the most part) are also the ones that have sold the most. thus, there would be more of them on the road. hummers are everywhere, i see solara's a lot too......

 

happy to say I have never been pulled over in my tc, and we've been together since 2006
