As the title reads I got busted by a motorcycle cop on the way to work. He really did not give me too much crap about the speed but more questioning on why my car took off so fast. I just told him I was having car trouble so I was just ironing out the kinks.

I plan on fighting it, this is the first ticket I've received in 6 years. He did clock me on his cycle speedo and not some radar gadget, will that help me get off or at minimum reduce the speed he got me for?

This guy is no joke: http://www.stantheradarman.com/CA_Traffic_Tickets.htm

Several of my pcar buddies have used him with great success.

Sorry about the ticket...where did it happen? I'm driving down to SD this week from LA for a conference.

Best of luck getting rid of the ticket.

80 in a 50, is that the best you can do? I got a 175 in a 55 once, lol. (like 3 years ago now) They cought up to me 15min later, there was construction on this exit I was taking. Broad daylight, 2:00pm on a Saturday.

Ahh, to be young and dumb

are you serious? Did they take your license away?

I got cought near Chargers stadium. I had taken a different route this morning so i could get some McDonalds coffee instead of the usual Starbucks. Damn that Ronald McDonald *******!!!

intellilogic

actually I got out of it, its a long story, but the cop couldn't testify and some other things like that. if I was actually charged, I probably would have done jail time. (VA is hardcore)

175? I really doubt that. What were you driving? The E63 and E55s are speed limited unless you have an ECU mod.

McDonalds off Friars road? Yeah, there's always cops on that stretch of road.

Damn, that sucks. SD police are usually pretty slack on speeding.

So this brings up the question: what radar detector do other E55 owners use?

I got off on a ticket like that in NY. I went in front of the judge and asked him how could he know how fast I was going without an electronic verification ? The judge asked the cop and he said from my years of experience, the judge smirked and said cased dismissed (this was 15 years ago).

Not gonna work nowadays. The pigs all have incestuous relationships with the judges, they'll all be taken at their word. Psuball, you didn't notice Ponch in your rearview at all???

Whenever I'm speeding my head is on a swivel, I spend just as much time looking into my mirrors as I do looking ahead.

I did see him but it was too late. He must have been coming off of the ramp. He did not turn his lights on until I slowed down, he had to catch up to me in order to pull me over.
