Honestly, I’ve never been pulled over for a speeding ticket. Not that I don’t speed, I’ve just never gotten caught…

I’ve been driving for (insert big number here) years and I’ve never been pulled over. I haven’t been a perfect driver just, apparently, an invisible one.

I didn’t lie to the cop but I tried my hardest to cry my way out of it. It didn’t work. I got slapped with a hefty ticket that made me have to work for the summer for money instead of the unpaid internship I was going to do at the local newspaper. It sucked muchly.

No, but I got out of a ticket once when I was speeding. I was on my way from my hometown in Nebraska to Omaha, Nebraska to see my sister who had been life-flighted to the hospital after a severe wreck. I was driving very fast and I told the cop as he walked up to the window, “I know I was speeding, please write me a ticket quickly and get it over with as my sister is in the hospital in a coma. I want to let you know also that as soon as you give me the ticket I’m going to be speeding again.” I think he could register the distress in my voice and was so shocked that he just said, “go ahead and go but drive carefully”. I then proceeded to speed all the rest of the way there.

I’ve only been pulled over once, the same day I’d been rear ended, so luckily I had a real excuse for why I had no tail light on the passenger side.
However, I do have a parking ticket I haven’t paid for a long long long long time. Don’t tell my mom.

Yep, I stretched the truth once to get out of a speeding ticket. I was on my way from OH to WV for an appointment. When I was stopped I told him I was in a hurry to get to the hospital in WV because my Aunt was having open heart surgery. He asked me what time her surgery was. I said I wasn’t sure that was why I was in a hurry. He let me go and said to be careful. The story was true the stretch part is she was in FL having surgery.

Either I’m just plain stupid or terribly honest or both. I knew I was speeding and just accepted the ticket with no complaint.
My husband says I’m brutally honest sometimes. He wishes on occasion I would tell a few white lies. I’ve learned that lesson and am always telling him how smart, wonderful, sexy, handsome, kind and awesome he is! JK
He really is all those things, mostly sexy.

They are so used to excuses, don’t bother. As with the others here, it only worked for me when I was honest and had a good reason. Example, I am flying overseas and need to hit this flight; it doesn’t go again for a couple days. Worked. OTOH, saying “i was tired of this kid in a ‘94 contour POS riding my butt” did not work. But he understood, gave me a 5mph over rather than a 25+.

OT: Finally made it to Borders today, and bought the last Unmasqued on the shelf. Yay! Excited to go read!!! =)
