Pulled over cause my headlamp was out. getting pulled over for this kind of shit happens more often then you would expect and then sometimes turns into a DUI sucks ass but it could have only been a fix it ticket Quote Link to comment

GoGoGo Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Just a reminder to everyone else...NEVER EVER drink and drive. It's not worth the risk to your license and much more important, the other drivers lives. Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yeah should not have. I was never given a fix it ticket which I thought is strange cause it's the reason I was pulled over. High beam works though. Quote Link to comment

Janksun Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I got pulled over and was cited for a dui a year ago. It got dropped in court. I wasn't intoxicated. I had taken some sleeping pills and went to bed. Apparently I was sleep driving because next thing I know, I was getting pulled over, I was driving around without my headlights on.

housew Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Headlights are not to be driven without. I know many a sad story that start that way. You can't give them any reason to have a conversation with you. Quote Link to comment

You can't give them any reason to have a conversation with you. Ya.....well.....around here.....if they don't like how you look in your car that's reason enough..... ......sometimes there is no way to avoid being pulled over.... My first car was an 87 toyota Camry...bone stock...not even window tint....tan color.... ....car was not by choice...dad said "this is your car or you're not driving"..... ......I got pulled over weekly....for anything....they made stuff up sometimes......like having bald tires(I was driving and it was 11:30p.m....I even asked him how he saw my "bald" tires from across the intersection while I was moving......"License & registration please" is all I got..... .........it didn't help that I had to pass the sheriff headquarters on the way home....but that's besides the point....I rarely got a ticket.... ....most of the time they'd run my plate and license to make sure it was all legit and sent me on my way.... I've learned over the years......if they want to....they will....... .......cops are jerks.......I know cops that think cops are jerks.......and they're jerks themselves...... :fu: the PO LEECE.... 2 Quote Link to comment
