I especially loved the time when I was moving once...

Borrowed a relative's truck (I had a Ranger that was parked dead), going about 77 in a 55, back road, middle of freakin' BFE, and a state cop rolls out of a driveway. I was like 40 miles at least from the nearest interstate, which is the only place other than pulling into the state cop cop-shop you ever see one of those around here.

Of course, she lights me up. I was speeding. I know it. She asks if I know how fast I was going. I am not even going to bother lying. She was pointing the radar right at me. So I say "77."

She says "NOPE - 78."

I say "OK."

She takes my paperwork, goes and does the normal police thing, and proceeds to bring me a ticket. As she hands me my stuff back she is like "You know, I could have written this for 23 mph over, but I gave you a break."

I take the wad of paper from her hand, toss it onto the passenger seat, say "thanks ma'am, have a nice day," and motor away. As I am putting the proof of insurance and registration back in the glove box while sitting at a stop sign about 4 miles down the road, I decide to check out the ticket.

75 in a 55.

3 mph break. Gee, thanks.

Chirp a tire in Ontario and they nail you with "Street Racing" and a 7 day impound and a $2k-$10K fine. Yep not kidding thats the mentality of our police up here.

23 over is probably reckless driving and would have caused you a lot more time/money.

You can say that again. My buddy ROLLED through a stop sign infront of our school and a cop saw it. He got pulled over and the cop ranted on and on about "reckless driving", he got a ticket for running the stop sign, and two more for failure to provide ownership and one for failure to provide insurance, it was his dad's car, dad forgot to take them out of his wallet and put them in the car. He owes hundred from those few tickets because the Ontario cop thought he was "driving reckless"

Man ontario cops arent that bad, couple months ago, i was late for scholl so i ripped aroundd a stop sign, right through it, and best of all i caught off a cop that was coming through. I just got a warning cause i said i was late for school.

Just tonight actually i had to get home before midnight, so i speed through town. I looked behind me and seen the cherries. I was clocked at 110Km/h in a 50. Thats street racing. Cops give me a speech on how he was a kid once, and then lets me off with another warning.

Oh and i constantly get let off with unnessecary noise violations for burnouts.

Sorry to burst your bubble, any spinning of the tires is reckless driving. Even just a chirp. It means you've lost comtrol of the vehicle and could have endangered somebody's life. That's the explanation I got when I backed up too fast over a puddle and spun mine.

That's my definition, as well.

The only time mine chirp, it's the inside tire around a turn. Kinda as if it were a straight axle. It's only on the off camber corners, where the inside gets unloaded anyways. One of the negative effects of a rear sway bar. But I don't do stuff that's blantantly stupid on purpose. I only have one ticket, i was for 20 over because I was new to the area and didn't catch the speed limit dropping by 15 MPH.
