Why does this only happen to me?

Safety Tip: Stop doing stuff that breaks the law.

 

I usually get let go. I'm not sure how or why but I think that in 30 years of driving I've been pulled over close to 20 times and have had maybe 6 tickets altogether. I get cut a break way more than handed a ticket.

Now jury duty....different story... it's my curse.. I've been called like 7-8 times now, my wife? 0. My dad who's in his 80's 1x. My brother - 0, my mom? 1x...

 

With 7 billion people on the planet do you really believe that there is anything that only happens to any one individual?

 

also yes

 

Cause you put yourself into positions to be hit by it.

 

I know. I didn't mean for it to be a shot at you specifically, it was just an excuse to post the clip, which I find hilarious.

 

You aren't the only one.
I used to be a cop. I would write tickets and I would also give warnings. I tried to be even all the time for everyone I pulled over. Same type of ticket would get written for everyone in the same circumstance. Same warning would be given for drivers in the same circumstances.

Some cops were more lenient. Some cops were more strict. There's no quota. Some cops have their own personal quota/goal to meet for whatever reason. It's not illegal to have high ticket writing aspirations.

 

Nah. Once every 10 years or so isn't bad. I'd say it's probably average.

I dodged one ticket and I have no idea how I did it.

I hadn't been driving long, maybe 2 or 3 years and I had a bad habit of driving in the left lane on the highway..like all the time. So I'm in the left late and a state trooper pulls up beside me and then gets in front of me. I get into the right lane and he drops back and gets behind me. I THEN get BACK into the left lane...he pulls me over....did I mention I wasn't wearing my seatbelt AND I was speeding?

The cop, someone who was probably a day away from retirement judging by his age repeated what just happened to me and WHY I got back into the left lane after he got behind me when there was no one in front of me. I told him I honestly didn't know (I didn't). He then proceeded to cite the law to the LETTER about why what I did was wrong (Left lane is for passing only, not for traveling if the right lane is clear etc..) He of course then asked if I knew that I was speeding, to which I replied yes...and asked if I usually don't wear my seatbelt, to which I replied yes.

He gave me a warning! I still don't know how I got away with that.

 

Or stop getting caught...

 

Or at least figure out how NOT to get caught. Be good or be sly

 

Why would you ever drive with an expired license, no seat belt or speeding in a school zone. Any number greater than zero no matter how long you've been driving is too many.

 

Get out of here.

 

And SHUT THE FRONT DOOR

 

Just curious, doesn't really matter to me but do you still drive without a seat belt sometimes if you are only going a couple of blocks?

 

Some advice to remember:
There is NEVER a cop there when you need one.
There is ALWAYS a cop there when you don't...
NO slam on cops, I am a huge supporter of law enforcement, that's JUST THE WAY IT IS!

 

There's a couple of ways you can look at your situation I guess. You can be bent about the three tickets you got or think of the hundreds (thousands maybe?) of moving violations you've comitted over all those years that you didn't get ticketed for.
