Have you ever been pulled over by a cop!?

[Nyactis Mewcis Catlum 670]

My mom got pulled over while I was in the car.

She still resents me for the fact I blabbed that she never usually wears her seatbelt to this day.

[Crosswind 629]

Probably once a fortnight. The cops are everywhere in my town 

[Spacey 747]

In my 11 years driving i have pulled over prolly 6 times but only got a ticket 2 times. The tickets were for speeding (going 45 mph in a 30 mph). Those both were around $90 to pay each.  All the others were warnings about having brights on too long before someone passed you coming at you or having illegal underglow light colors. Just minor things like a slap on the wrist stuff.

I'm a truck driver, YES!

[PiratePony 8,473]

I ran a red light about 10 years ago and was pulled over. They let me off with a warning. Since then, nothing.

My wife was pulled over about two months ago because she forgot to out her lights on. Also let off with a warning.

Thrilling stories, I know.

Sketchy, You say it like they pull you over all the time, being pulled in for inspection because you drove for SWIFT doesn't count, and its not like you can get a speeding ticket on the highway why your truck has a governor on it. I've only been driving Class A for 2 years now, still haven't gotten a ticket for it, my last ticket was back in 2013 for going 80 on the freeway.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Yep, for a routine check back when I had a motorbike. I flashed my license, and went on my way.

I won't go into detail but as it turns out, putting your rum into a coffee doesn't fool the breathalyzer... I have to take the bus now

why am I the only one who's done something that stupid?

Twice for speeding, once for expired tags, and another cause my friend is a cop and he was pranking me.

[Longhaul 6,470]

I've been pulled over a few times, mostly for minor things.  That was a long time ago, though.

Not wearing a seatbelt is legal. Minor’s not wearing seatbelts can get the driver in trouble.

It isn't legal in California, which is where I live. You get a ticket if you are 16 or older and you are not wearing a seatbelt.

In the four years of having a driver's license, I have never been pulled over by a cop. I try to follow the rules and play it safe, so hopefully I won't ever run into any trouble with the police. 

[Hocus Pocus 636]

Not really. One was parked by a stop sign I went through a little quick once and he motioned me to roll my window down as I drove by, so I slowed down, opened my window and he just said not to do it again before letting me continue on my way. I'd not really call it being "pulled over", though.

[Lunar Glow 674]

Nope, a proud public transit woman, don't have to worry about getting pulled over because I don't even own a car! 

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

many times but never got a ticket.
i used to live in a town near the border so they often pulled you along to search the car

[Props Valroa 26,050]

No I haven't but my dad's offenses are usually speeding or parking tickets. 

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

Only once but that was for not having the lights on in a rental car.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

Only once, reckless driving for my speed alone (85+ mph in my state). Wasn't too big of a deal honestly as it was the morning, but going over 100 mph on the Interstate is a bad idea. He clocked me at 97 (Coming around the turn I slowed a bit) though he took pity on me for my reason and my record thus far.

All came down to a stupid Physic Summer class I was taking for university, ended up sleeping in an hour past class start of which there was an exam that day. Funny thing was, I memorized all the cop locations on the route, but I totally didn't think of it at the time. He knocked my speed down to 87 and just gave me a ticket, the ticket was expensive but far better than the alternative. Got me a good 6 out of 12 points on my license too, so that definitely keeps me a more reasonable driver. If he got me for the speed he clocked me at my license probably would have been suspended, but I can't remember the law on it exactly.

Lesson I learned is don't drink the night before class or an exam and keep your speed reasonable.

How often do you drive in California? I used to drive for a small company here, and we had our own dedicated lawyer to combat the bullshit traffic tickets. CHP look at commercial truckers and see dollar signs, the pack of dicks. Got a total of 6 tickets in the two years that I drove truck. 5 of them the Judge called bullshit on and threw out.

No,but if I did I’d be respectful.

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,221]

I got pulled over recently going 93 in a 70 MPH zone. I was so lucky that the cop let me off with a warning since he liked my car so much and he was a cop that likes cars. 

[Nsxile 25,709]

I've never been pulled over by the police.

[Lucky Bolt 34,915]

No I never have been. I wish I could say hopefully I never will be, but....that’s a stretch. 

[Cyclone 1066 3,616]

3 times. Only ever gotten 1 ticket though.
