So much truth in this. I’ve only ever been given two tickets, one was bullshit. The cop had a rookie with him and was trying to impress him or whatever, total dickhead. The other time it was for a bald tire after I totaled my car. Not really necessary, but it was legitimate. Both times I got a COD.
I’ve been pulled over a LOT more than two times. Once last week for not having my ten day in the windshield since I have no tape and it’ll blow away… Sitting in a car with a rollbar, in a racing seat, wearing a 5 point harness. Cop was cool, could have given me a ticket. Didn’t.
St patty’s day I got pulled over for a loud exhaust. Explained to the cop it had broken trying to back over a ton of ice/snow. Cop was cool, let me go.
I got pulled over about 5-6 times towards the end of last summer for having an exhaust that was way too loud. (straight pipe) Every time I was respectful to the cop, told them I didn’t realize it would be as loud as it turned out to be. They told me to get it fixed and let me go.
I’ve been pulled over 20+ times and I’ve gotten a ticket twice. Don’t be a dick to the cop. Call him officer, sir, don’t feed him bullshit, turn your radio off, tell him when you’re reaching for anything anywhere. Cops aren’t the assholes everyone makes them out to be 95% of the time.
