Cops are gonna be out in force. Every holiday is like that. They're just doing their job tho. After all, you gotta draw the line somewhere as to how fast someone should go. This isn't Germany. Drivers here are mostly completely incompetent and dangerous to the public.

**** the police!!!

(LOL i say that everytime theres a thread involving the cops)

Anyway sorry for the ticket... Dont do what I did though. I went to court for a speeding ticket and decided to be a smart *** to the judge. I told the judge "listen lady, dont tell me how to drive when you werent there next to me. I was going as fast as everyone one around me, but your Pig friend must have something agains Hondas."---------BTW i was 16.

That didnt fly with that fat cow in a robe, so she gave me an early 16th b-day present:
1) Suspended lisense for 3 months.
2) ~$600 Fine.
3) Traffic School.
4) Community service.
5) And i had to come back after 4 months to show her that Im doing good in school.

Moral of the story: **** THE POLICE!!!

I drove up to Carson Toyota last Sat (40miles on the 405). On the way up, I counted 5 HWY patrol bikes who had pulled people over. On the way home, I saw 1 more person get nailed right in front of me. If you guys have no front plate or tint, be very careful. You are just asking for trouble this time of the year. Do the speed limit and be safe........

My first was at the elevated carpool portion of the 110 Freeway in Downtown L.A. Speed limit was 65, and I was stopped because I was going 75. WTF!?!?!

Result: $200 fine, driver's school (eight hours on a Saturday), no insurance increase and no points lost if no other tickets for 18 months. That time period will pass by January. Yeah...

Let's hear you say that the next time someone mugs you, steals from you, breaks into your house, or if you or one of your loved ones are the victim of an accident from another speeder or someone DWI.

The police are there for a reason.
