I was in traffic court once and watched a guy fight his ticket for am incomplete stop on a motorcycle. Cop testifies that it is a valid ticket because "you can't come to a complete stop without putting your foot down."
Cyclist says "yes you can. I do it all the time. I've been riding for 40 years, and I've learned a few things."
Surprisingly the judge sided with the biker.
That’s how I passed my MCL test. Guy says, Ride down the alley shift three gears, down shift turn around come back.
A guy pulls out in front of me, I grabbed the brakes downshift, come to a stop, let out the clutch turn around and ride back. Tester dudes says you’re good. Hand me the sheet and I go back in and get my license.
I was riding a Gold Star😆

1974. Old DMV on Escondido Blvd.
1962 305 Superhawk was down. FIL, "Take my Honda 350" !°°!
Dear Lord. Stiff triple clamp. Fairing.
Examiner. "Navigate the cones and return to the start."
So after 3 or 4 unsuccessful attempts he said, "C'mon Son. Make it through one time without hitting a cone, and I'll pass you." Which I did. Barely.

I hadn't paid much attention but a crowd had gathered out front, and when I finally did, the crowd erupted in cheers!! Lol.

Thanks Len!

I get tickets for anything 6-7 mph over the speed limit. So I typically only do 5 over.

Yeah I get passed like it’s going out of style but then I usually catch up to these guys having a nice conversation with the CHP a few miles ahead of me when I pass them.
I will try to keep it under 75 next time! It's really silly because you only save about 10 minutes if you "go fast". It's just that 65 feels like a crawl!

I can’t say shit. I’ve never got a ticket I didn’t deserve 🤣. Got let off of way more tickets then I should’ve too. Just own it and it’s usually a 50/50 if you get one 🤷‍♂️it is what it is.

The chargers are kind of easy to spot. This mustang I saw him sitting on the on ramp parked in the dirt first thought gotta be a dps.

Sure enough a speeder passes by this guy burns out like roscoe p Coltraine onto rear of speeder and lights flash lol.
They run F150s as well.

I roll back and forth weekly through rice road with the cruise set to 73 religiously. So far so good... seems to be the sweet spot. In town ..35 max. Love it when some idiot flys past me through town doing 50.. easy pickings🤣

Where in town seems to be the most prevalent area they are targeting?

I got nailed for that years ago in CA. They said you need to stop before the limit line, then if you want to proceed to roll forward so you can actually see oncoming traffic then you can do that.
As @SOCALCRICKETT said ~ by the tribal hospital is where I got popped. Larry’s stop was around the Food City area.

But his cop was cool and after running him came back with ‘aren’t you Larry from
River Dave’s Place’? Larry said, ya, how’d you know that? Cop remembered him from Jeep Dog’s SXS theft. 😁

It’s tourist season. They must of mistaken you as one. I’ll bet you were missing your RDP bumper Sticker, “get out of jail free” RDP membership card, and t-Shirt. 😜

Anyone one of them would have shown your local. 😁
Had RDP on last truck, this one only has Got Flat.

As said before, Larry’s cop asked him if he was Larry from RDP. 😳🤔

Cop remembered him from the stolen sxs incident.

I was inside getting an extension on my ticket (can do defensive driving class and it’ll be dismissed) so I wasn’t in on the convo. or I would have asked if he was the cop that did that arrest.

Anytime you have to hide to do your job.. the idea that the job is noble goes right out the window..

Personally I think unmarked cars should be illegal.

REALLY?

I've hidden and caught murderers, I've hidden and caught drug dealers, I've hidden and listened to gangsters talk about past crimes, I've hidden and caught sex acts with juveniles, etc... etc... etc...
I guess I don't meet RD standards of noble.

And I'm 100% fine with that!!!!
