Got pulled over going 60 in a 50 while passing someone going 30. It's when I first got my is350
i honestly didn't realize I was going that fast, came from a 1.8 liter 4 banger.

There was a thread where a member had the F sport exhaust and his buddy had the M sport exhaust and they got pulled over and ticketed for loud exhaust and "racing." Though to his luck, he had the camera rolling, proving that they weren't racing at all, and also had paper work showing that the F sport exhaust was a factory exhaust.
That is right, you should be able to get the ticket written off since it's a factory exhaust but I do have the Invidia Midpipe.

7 mph? You should of talked to the DA about dropping that to a non moving violation. If you would of fought it then it probably would of gotten thrown out anyway. Doesnt FL have lawyers that only do traffic violations? Points are the worst, fight as hard as you can so you don't get them.

I got pulled over last summer because I was dodging pot holes. Cop thought I was drunk lol. He ended up giving me a 'no proof of insurance' ticket, which took me 3 months to get it written off.

Speeding is not 4 points on your license haha dudes an idiot

Last 6 times I got pulled over were all warning... (No Front Plates and Loud Exhaust)

Couple times even the officers complimented my car

Funniest thing tho I forgot to mention... I was arguing with the cop one time just to be a ****

Cop: blah blah blah for your illegal exhaust
Me: it's not illegal, it's the Lexus F Sport exhaust, straight from the dealer
Cop: just cause the dealer sells it, doesn't mean its legal?
Me: ya whatever buddy
Cop: do you want me to get my sound meter
Me: of course not
Cop: ok here's a warning

Depends where you are, but you can get 4 pts in FL and NY. It looks like different states do the point system differently though.
