As long as I don't do anything stupid I'm usually fine. I used to get tickets when I was younger but I haven't even been pulled over for a few years now. ::Knock on wood::

I've gotten razzed about "No front Plate" but that's it. I'm a total lead foot too...

Drive cool, and cops will be cool.
Drive with your head "inserted"...Cops will be happy to pull it out for you.

Invest in a good radar detector and always watch the on/off ramps as you come up to them and pass them. Dont get cheap. Be ready to spend a few hundred $$$.

The rest is a little off topic. Sorry.

I like to get behind the smugglers after they pass the off ramps. I don't write any tickets though if I bust you your probably going to jail. I say get a radar detector because I even get tickets myself mostly tint and F plate. No one is above the law as it should be I guess.

One of the things best about a Radar detector is; I can't seem to hear ambulances until they are coming through the intersection. It's hot here, windows up, AC blowing, music or talk radio at normal range. I guess I’m deaf but it sometimes really helps keep you aware of what’s going on out side.

Why would a cop harass you in a SC? Riced out civic....ok, mustang cobra....ok, Lexus sport coupe.....wtf? Ofcourse there are those of us who go "Damn, I was going 120 in a 70....I deserve a ticket" and then there are those of us that go "man....wtf, you're just haressing me"
