accidently voted 3, didn't see the "in your 2is" part, obviously anyone with three in the car in this short a time isn't going to have a license. I have had none yet.

I doubt cops look out for a IS to give tickets to. I actually feel safer in the IS from cops.

My license just got suspended...

I'm 28 yrs old so I guess I should grow up some time soon. They suspended me for 30 days after I got $1700 in speeding tix in just 7 months. The last one was a bad one.

Serve and protect my ***. I'm not endangering anyone, just having fun. Actually most of my tix are from cops hiding in zones when the speed limit unexpectingly decreases. Anyway, that's my rant.

None here. The IS250 isn't fast enough to make ticket generation easy. I also like to think that I've become slightly smarter over the years, in knowing when and where to speed

I got two last week, before that I hadn;t had one in 9 years. One was 42/30 the other 41/30 and both roads were 6 lanes. In other words just a speed trap, I mean 30MPH on a 6 lane road is just BS.

Once, going ten miles over the speed limit on an elevated carpool lane at 8 AM on a Saturday.

It was the Fourth of July weekend. Cop had nothing else better to do...

Depends on where that 6 lane is. If it's a busy area with a lot of lights, businesses, pedestrians, etc, then no, it's not BS.

Wow, some of you young punks need a swift kick to the keister. Or get your licenses revoked.



This is classic:

Sounds like this guy is a menace on the roadway.

It’s been 20 years since I got my last ticket. Like I said in another post, I’ve changed my driving style where I now sort of blend in; meaning no swift lane changes, no cruising in the passing lane, assuming every car behind me at night is a cop and no questionable mods.

I still maintain one can drive and enjoy a performance car without breaking the law. Of course, <sigh> I tried to teach this to my two kids ( now 20 and 22 years old) with poor results.

And then he follows it up with this comment: "Serve and protect my ***."
