I Got A Break From A Moto Cop Today
Whew! It could have a been a very expensive speeding ticket this morning, given that this is my third speeding violation this year alone, but the cop cited me for a fix it ticket instead. I just left the house on my 325i and a few blocks after, and only about a few hundred yards from the freeway entrance, I was stopped by one of the four moto cops preying on the side road. The cop asked if I knew the reason why I was stopped and the usual answer, “No.” He said I was doing 50 on a 35. I said “really,” hahaha. Apparently, the new scope radar used on me doesn’t lie. He went to the back of my car to check my license plate and I guess he saw the big Ducati sticker on my rear window. He came back and asked if all my accessories are working. Kinda threw me off but I just said yes everything works although I know my headlights have some intermittent problems. He had me turned the headlight on and boom, one of the headlights didn’t pop up. While he’s writing the ticket, I had a chatty conversation with him asking him about the new radar and he even showed me how it works. I asked why all of sudden they’re doing this in our neighborhood. He said, they are getting a lot of complaints. I said, you sure this has nothing to do with the state budget crisis and he just smiled at me. After he’s done, he handed me the ticket and told me that he gave me a break and wrote me for a fix it ticket instead. I then asked him if I could take a picture of them. He’s cool with it. What he didn’t know is that they’re gonna be famous on Facebook
