i got pulled over too, protesting it, and it happened on tribal land. ill let you all know what happens.

I was pulled over twice in the last year (not that I don't speed) but since it has been 15 years or so since I've had a ticket, they have both just given me warnings. My last warning was for doing 125kmh (about 78 mph) in a 90 kmh (55 mph) zone towing my 36 ft car hauler through a snow storm. He questioned me on my wisdom and told me I'm old enough to know better... then let me go! Probably figured that I've made it this far without killing myself, might as well let me go.

72 in a 55??? That's all? I expected more from your first encounter with a cop in the Challenger. lemme guess, on I-74 in Bettendorf? Didn't I just tell you, not that long ago too, to buy a radar detector? 

If you're still feelin' guilty, Do it again, only faster.

 

iv only once and it so ridiculas

I got pulled over for an 80 in a 55 a month after I got my license and got a verbal warning, boo yah

Ooooh, I just remembered!  I got pulled over in the Challenger driving out to California to do the show.  I was cruising through Arizona, speed limit was 75, I was doing like 81, I came up over a small hill and I saw the cop car sitting in that desert looking stuff in the median.  Is that how you spell median?  Anyway, when I saw him I tried to ease off with the cruise control, but being the car was brand new and I was not the familiar yet, I accelerated to about 84, oooops. LOL!!  I was like, godd dammit, I see the cop in time but what do I do? I accelerate.  He pulls me over, asks for all the paperwork, I have to tell him I just bought the car and the registration was in the mail, but I had other stuff to cover that.  I ask him if he has ever heard of Bullrun, he says yes, BINGO!  I tell him I am actually driving out to film season 3.  Meanwhile, Jules is filming me from the passenger seat getting pulled over ALREADY in the new car.  LOL!  Anyway, he lets me off with a warning and says he is looking forward to seeing the car on the show.  Nice guy, I wish I could remember his name.  BR RULES!

AWESOME

 Way to go Jonnyb!!

LOL!!  True story. 

that is awesome in multiple ways.

Hopefully me and Jules will put a little vid together of our trip from Houston to Cali.  Some good stuff there.  I need to talk to him about that.

Sweet..maybe there will at least be a little interesting footage from a challenger. haha

Always with the jokes Bullfroger. ha

 Aww I miss you guys :(  

this one time, I saw a Scion, and I thought, wow, that looks feminine.

 Agreed but I also thought that when I saw a mini driving by :P

I bet that was the same one you wrecked. haha

This is kind of a long story, but there isn’t anything else going on around here so here goes.

I got pulled over in the Grand National on the way to New York for the start of the rally. This cop paced us for a couple of miles just checking us out. Finally when I made a move to the far right lane he pulled us over. He asked what kind of registration / tag that is on the car. I tell him it is a Delaware vanity plate and that it is legal. “See, it says Bullrun right here on the registration card”.  Then the question…  What’s Bullrun ?  So we spend a couple of minutes explaining what it’s all about. Then he sends us on our way with a smile on his face.

While in NY a big typical city official from the Mayors office started questioning one of the guys with Bullrun about my vanity tag as well. I got a call from the Bullrun guy while in my room telling me I need to do something about it. So I go to the car like I’m getting something out of the trunk, the guy from the mayor’s office comes up and starts questioning me about the tag, I whip out the registration on him and he says sorry and leaves the area. He was the typical New York fat guy in a 3 piece suit wanting to wield his power. It felt good to shut him down.

Same thing happened when we were rolling into Staunton Virginia but our stop was much quicker because the cop knew we were trying to get to the check point. This was also right after we had the “incident” on the way to Staunton where the front of the GN got screwed up thanks to my co-driver and Schwab in the Ferrari.

I was not about to tell any of these guys the tag was a homemade replica of the vintage black and white Delaware tags produced many years ago. There are reproduction black and white Delaware tags being made today but never has Delaware allowed the production of a black and white Vanity Tag.  

         

Regarding being pulled over lately:  I found it is the best policy to admit you were doing over the speed limit when asked, just don’t offer up how much over you were doing.  The past few times I was pulled over I just told the cop, yep, “I sure was moving wasn’t I” or some dumb comment like that and they fall for it rather than trying to deny it. Cops don’t like it when you lie and try to fool them. I should know, My father was a cop for many years.

My advice to you all,  Get a Valentine One radar detector. They are the s h i t  for sure. Saved my ass a lot lately. 

I’ve had it pick up radar 2 miles out in front and more than a mile to the rear. It even picks up radar over hills. No lie boys and girls.  Its freaking awesome.

Also,  get CB radio and talk with the truckers, they know whats going on out there on the roads. Just dont be a nussiance, learn their raido lingo before you start asking questions.

 Agree about the Valentine One! Best radar ever!! I am mailing one of our tomorrow for repairs from the Porsche accident....yes it took long enough but we have others lol

Nah,  it was on the backroads. I was kinda getting the whole road hypnosis thing goin, getting pulled over woke me out of that. I thought about setting the cruise at 59 but didn't.

o i c.... hmmm damnin iowa backroads..... I blame them

Only time I got pulled over was when I was 17. I don't drink, so I am pretty well always DD for my friends. We were having a pretty good party in Abbotsford, and since liquor makes you smarter, every one decided at 3:30 in the morning that we needed to go to Molson for a drunk swim. Since they were keen enough on the idea that one of my friends who had been drinking was about to drive them out, I stole his keys and told everyone to pile into my Buick, so that they could at least hold off on the whole killing themselves thing till we got out to the lake. I didn't know how to get there, so I had to try and dechipher drunk directions, which led to a couple of swerves, cuz they'd tell me to take one exit, then the next. Next thing you know, we got cherries behind us. I pulled over (there was 7 people in my car, and none of them small), and the two cops get outta their car and make their way over. As soon as I stopped there was a flurry of seat belt buckling going on in the back seat. One cop gets up to my open window, shines his flashlight around my car and looks at me. I'm scared sh!$less (my dad built this car, and my parents aren't real big on that whole getting into trouble thing), so before he says anything, I blurt out "THEY'RE ALL DRUNK AND I'M DD!!!!!". The cop on the other side of the car was checking out my load of drunks, and she shines the light on a particularly affected individual, does a double take, then shudders and backs away from the car (this friend was pale to begin with, and death warms over don't begin to cover what she looked like). So the guy on my side gets my insurance and they both walk back to the cruiser. When they get back to the car, they told me they were not worried about drunk driving, they were worried about weapons, since when they pulled us over, everybody started moving in the back seat. At which point, one of my more drunk friends says "I'm sorry, but my a$$ was eating my ginches". I told him that I knew I had missed a coupla turns, but I didn't know where I was going, and I was getting directions from people who couldn't see straight. So he asks where I was trying to go, gives me directions, hands back my insurance and gives me cudos for being DD. Then they get in their cruiser, and drive away. So we went on our merry way to the lake, and found out the park was locked up till 6 anyhow.

Least I didn't need to get drunk directions on the way back...

 

Well lets see.  I've been pulled over for speeding (85 in a 40 in a lifted Jeep, just a warning because the cop was a rookie and scared to death of me,)

Got pulled over for scrubbing my tires like a stock car driver behind some idiot that had cut me off in that same lifted Jeep.  Just a lecture and a warning.

ANd finally, and the funniest.  I got pulled from my first Jeep for "smoking" french fries.  I had just come back from hershey, PA from a WWE Raw event, and had a friend with me.  We decided to stop at a local Wendys for some dinner before we headed home.  It was after 10PM, so the dining room was closed, so we hit the drive thru, and parked in hte gorcery store parking lot behind the Wendys, and ate.  At some point my buddy started goofin around with my interior lights, and during that time, someone drove past and saw us, and thought we were tokin the dooby, so he called the cops.  I had 3 cops pull up and block me in, one being a K-9 unit.  They pulled us out o fthe vehicle, searched it all over, and cam to the conclusion that the person must have seen us with a french fry in out mouths.  So we were booked for smokin  french fries.  Cops were cool though.  Stood there and talked ot us for a bit and then we left.

this guy in N.Y got a speeding ticket and in retaliation he called the cops mom and told her, her son had been badly inured in a car wreck. The man was arrested for aggravated harassment

Did somebody say HYPNOSIS?

 

Jeff met a state trooper a few years back going in the mid 90s.  When he topped the hill, he pulled himself over as you did.  The trooper came up to the car laughing and said that he was the first person he had ever seen pull themself over.  After a friendly "slow it down" he was let go.
