6G Celicas Forums

so yesterday i had just finished washing and detailing my car when my friend came over with his Subaru. we both thought it would be a good idea to go out and take some pictures, since our cars looked relatively good .

So we both got into our cars and after a short bit of driving around aimlessly looking for a nice scene to shoot on we came to a stop sign. my buddy made a right onto the street and i followed we continued down the road for about a mile or two when i noticed flashing lights in my rearview . Needless to say i about shat myself all i could here in my head was my mom scolding me for my heavy foot, i thought i was going to have my first speeding ticket. but when the cop came up to my window he told me i rolled through the stop about a mile or two back.

I could not believe it 109.50 is what i have to pay for these stupid pictures now

IBTL.

Same offense, except mine was 138.

I was driving on the highway going 60 in a 55 and was cut off by a car pulling onto the highway.

It's a 2 lane highway so I changed lanes to avoid hitting him and sped up because another car had pulled out in the other lane (the one I was in now).

After passing the first car that had cut me off and getting in front of him to avoid the other one (they were both doing between 30 and 40), I see lights in my rear view.

I'm thinking... good, he'll nab these morons for nearly killing me........... damn wrong.


I received 3 tickets and had never had a violation before.

One for tailgating, one for unsafe lane change, and one for improper passing cause I'd passed the car on the right.

Needless to say next time I won't be avoiding an accident to incur $800 worth of tickets.

This is destined to be locked.

wtf i thought you had to mention racing or speeding to get a thread locked, not rolling through a stop sign.

Dumb driving gets a thread locked too. Lol.

My first ticket... Actually, I'd better not say.

i got a lot of dumb tickets in the celica

underglow, exhaust, speeding, no front plate ect. ect.

i think my first one was when i was going to freshman orientation when i was starting school at UNC Charlotte. girl was crossing the street and walked into my car, and SUPPOSEDLY i ran over her foot. by the time i got home (2hrs away) got a call from charlotte police saying i was involved in a hit and run and i had to go to court. she walked to the on campus police station and showed her foot. he said she had a red mark on it..

my second one was speeding while on the way to go to court for the first one! lol

Anything illegal..and rolling through a stop sign is illegal.

I dont understand why everyone thinks this deserves to be locked, YES he did something unlawful on the streets (and it was NOT street racing) but he was fined anyway, its not like cops are going to search the forum and fine him a second time, he did wrong and got in trouble for it.

Whats the harm in this thread? 6GC is really going downhill...



My first, and only ticket was 65 or so in a 35. learned my lesson after that ~$250.



You guys are acting like the guy committed murder and is announcing it on 6gc or something.

got a point samir. i apologize for my share in the bandwagon jumping... hard to resist putting up a witty avatar... but ONLY 109 dollars for the infraction?! you got lucky! ive known people to pay 300!

I know, the avatars are funny, trust me, but its been getting on my nerves recently. Any thread people think are retarded or stupid just get ibtl posts and then actually end up being locked for all the nonsense that people post.

I'm glad you agree, Piro. I dunno its just this kinda stuff that's making me visit this site less and less. Endless bashing and bickering, no one is getting along at all.... So much for a "community"

seriously, you guys are way to uptight.

I can see locking if it's a "look at what I did!" thread, as opposed to the "being stupid cost me this much" thread.

In my case, first and so far only ticket, about a year after I bought my Celica. Doing 120 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, at 3 a.m. The police cruiser was the only other car I saw that night. Guy was nice about it, little lecture then he told me since it was my first ticket he'd knock it down to 110 km/h on paper -- in my province the fines increase for every 20 km/h over the limit, and more than 40 km/h gets an unsafe speed citation as well.

I actually like the idea of graduated fines. The stupider you are, the more you pay. I read a story shortly after that about a woman who managed about $1,500 in tickets in one drive and enough points to lose her licence. Something like 80 km/h over the limit, plus a whole lot of weaving without signalling, etc.

Hmmm first one.................

speeding 14 over. driving home from a farewell party friggin officer just showed up with the ticket, had me sign, and jammed!! didnt even get to ask to see the gun/radar he used or talk for a while. just went in and out

I got a warning parking violation last week because the parking person couldn't see my silver parking sticker on the windshield of my silver car with my silver reflective sun shade in the window. They said I would be towed if I "offended" again.

My first ticket ever..I'm looking at the handout right now haha 6/17/09

I was going 76 in a 55 on a highway in Indiana. I was on the entrance and saw a long line of semis in the right lane so i sped up so i wouldn't have to slow way down and wait for them to pass..well, i passed them and flew under the overpass. There was a cop sitting right behind the support of the overpass. I was pulled over immediately..and i was about TEN FLIPPING YARDS FROM THE 65 SPEED LIMIT SIGN!!! needless to say, he wrote me down in the 55 and said i have to maintain the speed limit while passing other vehicles..good one officer.

230.55 ticket...good stuff..
there goes my exhaust and muffler idea for now..

you guys are lucky... red light camera tickets in cali are about $380 each.. and speeding tickets are about $400 each. plus the court fees and traffic school fees.

damn! they got rid of the red light cameras here in charlotte... money wasnt being used like it was supposed to (im thinking charlotte mecklenburg schools were supposed to get it)
