On friday October 28 Officer Feo pulled me over for going 64 in a 35. Heres the funney part, other then "feo' being the spanish word for ugly, I had graduated driver's ed the day before and had only had my liscince for seven hours and my car for less then five before getting pulled over. Moral of the story is that you should always put a radar detector in your car before you drive. Before I bought the car I thought that the ti was slow because of the four cylinder, I was very wrong. |  |  | | 11-01-2005, 10:14 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Mt.

true that...always watch people in front of you and look for brake lights and such....and if people are going faster than you, chances are a cop wont pick you out of a group byut if you are going 65 in a 35....well that can screw you over __________________ 1995 318ti Active

Speaking of going 64 in a 35, I was caught in a contruction zone (35MPH) and I was doing about 55, then I see this cop car in my rearview and I shift down, not brake cause I didn't want him to see that I was going really fast and then he pulls me over. Well in the end I didn't get a ticket but a warning. He was a cool guy  __________________

Bummer about the tickets. I have gotten more tickets in my car...the most recent being "careless operation." In other words, the cop knew I was speeding, but didn't get to clock me. | | | | | 11-02-2005, 03:03 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Virginia Posts: 247 |
I get my fast driving fun in on the interstate of back roads late at night... After doing 100 or so from time to time like that, I don't feel the urge to do 20 over in school zone or whatever... __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it!

No speeding tickets in either my Ti or my old car, the MX6. Only ticket I have gotten was "Wreckless Operation," and I only got that because it's mandatory when you rear-end somebody (in the MX6). __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg

The day I got my license, I literally had just gotten home when I told my parents I needed to go to the library. I took my dad's 911, of course, and a few miles from my my house, on the main drag in the suburb I lived in , I got pulled over. I know I wasn't speeding cuz I saw the cop on the side of the road giving someone else ticket. Anyway, shortly after seeing him, he pulls me over and I hand him a print out of my "license" from the DMV I had gotten less than an hour ago. He said it sounded like I was going fast. Whatever. He let me go, but I was embarrased because 1) I had to give him this piece of paper 2) I was hoping no one would recognize me or the car. Anyway, looking back, it's funny. __________________

Good news! Five days after I got the ticket I got a call from the police station saying that the ticket was not valid because a mistake was made on it and it is now gone! I guess driving a ti is good luck! | | | | | |
