I have my first brush with the law ever........I have been driving for 9 years and i had never been pulled over for speeding ( not saying I don't do it- but I don't do it often) UNTILL TONIGHT. Aiden ( my oldest son) was sick and I got the call from my mom who was watching them to pick up aiden some medicine on the way home- ok so I did that and I am rushing to pick up the kids from her house - I guess not paying too much attention on the speed. I mean, everyone goes 60 mph on wendover ave, and I pass a car on the side of the road with all the lights off- too bad didn't notice it was a police car until I passed it, then comes the blue lights. It could be worse- I got off with a warning. Just wanted to vent- and I wonder why am I the one in the large group of speeders to get pulled over.. Funny how that happens sometimes..........

I got pulled once - I was automatically let off in court once they found out I was driving a late 80s ford escort - they chalked it up to equipement malfunction.

in years past i've been less than fully obedient in obeying traffic laws. I've been caught for 2 accounts of failing to recognize and obey a sign of STOP, in one of the cases it lost me a motor vehicle for as i was running the sign of STOP a ford explorer got in my way thus my first cutlass was no more. I got stopped for speeding once too, back when i had my '84 cellica (i miss that car so much) a couple of years ago, there was a trap and i was to be it's hapless victim, sure i was going 87 in a 70 . . . so . . . .cheater cop. Any way i have been nice and clean since the speeding ticket, . . . yay!

As far as I can remember I have been stopped three times. Once for making an illegal U-turn in the middle of nowhere around 3 in the morning. Just got pulled and warned. I got caught speeding once, doing about 82 in a 70, but then the car that was passing me was not stopped...makes u wander. I got a writen warning and my car searched. Apperantly Scad kids are nutorious for being druggies, and flying down I-95 probably didn't help me either. Then lastly I got pulled for running a light. In my defense it was late and I was trying to find signes to the highway in the crappy roadworks of downtown atlanta.

I have to give an update.... 3 days ago I got pulled for speeding - I was supposedly going 62 in a 45 (I later checked on the highway - there's no way I was going that fast on that road!) but the officer knocked it down to 59 on paper and gave me a warning. That's what happens when you gotta go to the bathroom really reeeeaaly bad......

Ha ha - I am glad to see I am not alone. Though I have since chosen another way home that allows me to go a bit faster and save a little time on my trip home. I currently put in a application with my supervisor to go work at home- but I haven't heard anything yet. I have been really really good as of late though- now I think I am scared of Wendover ave. If the price of gas gets any higher - I think I am going to have to get in really good shape and bike it or start taking the bus:)

Stylin an profile'in...i once bought a used car,a 2 door black geo..a few days after purchasing this car i noticed it was blowing coolant from somewhere.Being as the dealer wasnt far from my house,i decided to drive the car there and have them fix the problem.On my way there,doing the speed limit..i was pulled over by a cop who appeared outta no-where..he got outta his patrol car and swaggered up to my car-all the time coolant is flowing like beer at a frat party from under the car..so i sez "whats the problem,officer" and he says i was speeding and where was i going ? I explained about the leak situation(it was obvious,due to the lake forming under my car) but he insisted on being a prick,blathering about speed limits and looking in my car for something to bust me..liqour or drugs..so i got pissed and stepped outta the car,the cop freaked and put his hand on his gun and yelled at me...what an anal cowboy dick..maybe because i was wearing a black leather jacket,spikes and punked out hair didnt help..but it was funny..he reacted as if i was bin ladin with bombs strapped to my chest..idiot..he was pissed i scared him and yelled at me some more,ran my license and plates then gave me a speeding ticket.idiot..you dont have to be african american to get profiled..maybe i should wear izod shirts and polo slacks like the majority of morons out there....the dogs like to keep the herd together and controlled..the black sheep always stands out.
