Been pulled over for passing in a no pass zone (no ticket bc where I live the paints worn off the road so he couldn't have really pinned me for it). Another was pulled over for speeding in a construction zone at night. He asked me what I would do if there were workers and if I knew how dangerous it was. I calmly told him there would be lights and reflective vests and all sort of things to alert me. Got off with no ticket again. Another time a cop pulled me over... I was coming down a hill on a backroad and I had my headlights and fog lights on. He was coming towards me and flashed his lights so I flashed mine back and he whipped it around to come get me. Anyways I pretty much figured out it was one of those pick something small and see if they are drinking bc apparently I had swerved a bit. Reasons I swerved was bc of how bad the roads are and to get my girlfriends brownies out of the back seat. I only told him about the brownies and as soon as I said it I was like oh no! He's gonna think they're the special kind! Haha
The only time I've got a ticket was in freaking Ohio... I don't even live in Ohio! We were taking our 1947 ford woodie to have the woodkit put on. My dad made me drive bc he wanted to take a nap. I was a little nervous bc I had never pulled a trailer before and let alone the nicest and most expensive car we've ever had was on the trailer. Anyways my dad was asleep and I was driving and I passed a highway patrol that had someone pulled over. Didn't think anything about it. He caught me THIRTY minutes later and LESS than ten miles from the state line and told me I didn't pull over or slow down while he had the other guy pulled over. I said I'm not from here how am I supposed to know thats a law? And he went back to his car and looked it up and said it was a new law in Oklahoma. So I asked how am I supposed to know that?? Haha anyways I was cool about it and went back and sat in his car yada yada. Meanwhile... My dad the angry bear who got woken up from his nap was on the phone with our lawyer immediately and yelled at the cop for the next 5 minutes. I forget how much it was for but it was realllllllly dumb. He also told us we should have tags on the trailer even though it wasn't a law in Oklahoma... Haha dumb!

Maybe something above 100? Breaking 100 mph doesn't have the same effect it used to, unless its on some curvy back road.
Caveat: Unless your dodging a doe coming off a bridge doing 60 mph - thats was fun, especially in the few seconds it took my brain to decide it was better to jerk the wheel and avoid said deer than it would have been to just slam on the brakes.
That was in my 07 GT with summer tires and FR3 suspension. I cranked the wheel so hard I popped every vertebrae in my spine.
My most white knuckle experience was in my 91 LX, hit a little trough in the road (a new private school was being built and they had to run something under the road that required digging and the new asphalt sat a little lower) The rear end came off the ground and it was the first time I had ever experienced that so I did what most newbs do, I hit the brakes and thats when I learned that going right at or a bit over 100 mph and letting the rear brakes lock up and come down is a bad thing. Me and my car did our best impression of a light house as the back end hopped and skipped around.
Its also amazing how you can have a moment of clarity while crapping your pants. I was struggling to get the car under control and noticed a Ford Escort coming up the road and thought for sure we were going to end up as a blood infused modern art masterpiece. Never realized you could pick out the make and model of a car while careening out of control.

Today at work I ran into the trooper that gave me my first speeding ticket four+ years ago. He was an ******* then & now he's just an older worse *******. One guy in the store made a joke about him littering & these where his exact words "it's not illegal if I litter. If it where you littering then that's illegal." my inner ******* wanted to scalp him or something to that nature.

Absolutely shocked I didn't get a ticket today. I think what saved me was a combination of his radar sucking ****, being in the left lane, traffic traveling a little fast anyway, and maybe he was busy looking at the ZR1 I was passing too. *whew*
Just got a pass on a reckless driving ticket. Went sliding around a corner and there was a deputy there with a lady pulled over. He looked at me and I just pulled over in front of him to save him a chase. Funny thing is I had seen him at a 4 way stop about 5 minutes earlier and he said he had run my plates then. He said he was tempted to take me to jail for reckless driving but was letting me off because I didnt slide into his cruiser.

Got pulled over going something like 75 in a 30 which he said was reckless or careless driving cant remember. not sure how I got that fast in the first place.
Didn't get a ticket got a court sentence and two months later finally was called to go and the judge let me go with nothing on my record
