Anyone getting away with warnings these days?

I have been stopped more times than I would like to be. I have talked my way out of about half of them. I usually get compliments or words of understanding during the stop. I think the number is around 12 times since I got my super coupe. I have been assesed 0 points, (1) 4 hour course, and (1) 8 hour course.

This one said "If I had a car like that I would want to open it up sometimes too. But there is a time and place for everything".

I got cited at 120mph here and cali. I was approached by the CHP with a his handgun, not a great memory.

He told me that at that speed, my car was considered a dangerous weapon. BS!!

I hate to be the guy who says it, but the officer was right. I dont have to go through the whole "be responsible" lecture, but you know what you did wrong

I'm in the same boat as you... this thing is like a magnet for cops... I had never received a speeding ticket in my life and since the purchase of this beauty I have received 2

I don't like how things are going...

Care to write down you're lines? I never get warnings. Not even on my first offense, and it was not even nearly that bad.

I was going to work 2 weeks ago and CHP got me going 80 in a 65 zone. He asked for my license, reg, etc and he wrote me up. As he gave me the ticket, he only cited me for a new address change as my license displayed an old address. He let me go on the speeding violation! Whew! It probably helped as I was driving my Honda Accord and not my other car. I bet he would have nailed me in my NSX.
