Default I Just Got Pulled Over!!!

i was with my friend(he was in his dad's s2000) and i was driving my SS. So this guy in a turboed s2000 comes up and wants to race. so we are all at it and of course i win. well we loop back around and there he is a cop on his motorcycle and i see him and than he gets behind me and pulls me over. He tells me why i am in such a hurry and why i was racing with 2 other cars. i dont say anything and he ends up giving me a ticket for no license plate in the front of my car and expired insurance. he told me if i get a license plate in less than 15 days and can go in and show the court than they will remove the fine. im very lucky that i didnt get arrested, he just told me to drive safer. So is there a way where i can put a license plate without putting holes in it b/c right when i show the court im gonna take it off. Please help i dont want big *** holes on the front of my car and i dont feel like filling them in either


Thanks
David

Just be happy and THANKFUL your only dealing with a correctable violation(s) and not dealing with your car getting impounded for excessive speed, street racing, wreckless driving and so on. That cop was far from a "bitch." He cut you some slack and gave you a huge break as opposed to the norm that get caught.

When the officer asked you two simple questions you showed just how much of a "Man" you are by "staying quiet." If you ask me you were the only one being a "bitch" during that situation then taking responsibility for your actions.

There is a time and place for everything.

Ha, yea man do you not realize that this "bitch cop" just gave you a HUUUUGE break?? He could have gave you a helluva ticket so don't be complaining about some license plate ticket crap, just stick it on with double sided tape like the C6 guys do and stop whining.

I have this bracket on my car. Its a really good one. A lot of people have compimented me on it because of how it doesn't get in the way of the grille. Mounts easy too. Just an idea though. sorry to hear about the ticket. You actually may have gotten off easy though, but racing is always a risk in some way it seems. Just gotta accept the consequences i guess.

How come every time someone tells a story about getting pulled over they get lectured by some of you guys? If some turbo ricer wanted to race me I'd probably do the same thing. I agree he did get off easy, but don't bust his ***** because he's annoyed that he got a ticket. Is every guy that gets a ticket for window tint, or loud exhaust a bitch when he's pissed about getting a ticket? If so, most of us on this forum are big fat bitches.

Easiest way is to ziptie it. I hate the front plates too!!! I have had a cop go out of his way to pull me over and give me a warning for no front plate on my T/a when I had it. Must of been 20 cars that past me while he had me stopped that had no plates. I was like WTF!!!!! I have not had a plate on my Ram for 5 years and there will NEVER be a front plate on my vette!

^^yea its annoying because seriously what is the purpose of a front license plate, people only look at the back license plate, it might be for cops to be able to clock your speed.......i really dont know
ok i came up with a decision. since i have to buy a new license plate, should i just make a custom plate. SSMOKD or SSEEYA.
