Yeah, agreed here in DE it is a dismissable offense as well. But if you don't have insurance its a whole different story. I want you to have the insurance cause knowing my luck you would hit me.

now some of you now are thinking "this guy must've been a arse to the cop"...nope, not even close. respectful the whole time... so thanks officer, that was a great way to start my day!! oh and i seen him pull 2 other cars in the brief time he was in my sight too (he has just pulled back onto the hwy from one when he got behind me)

Unfortuantely Caper not all of us take the same approach towards our jobs. Some of us let the "chicken shit" slide while others will issue tickets because its their job and its in the codebook. By letting it slide I mean that I may pull you over for it, but you will be getting a warning as long as you act respectfully. All I can say is just try to keep all your stuff legit. And yes you will find all sorts of opinions on this site and there will definitely be ones that will say you acted like an arse. Only you will know the truth.

Heh.. were traffic (motorcycle cops ) we dont give warnings , what a douche.
Ok so your traffic , so that means you cant give a warning??
You can do as you please.
anyway it was my fault but not the way i wanted to start out with this car it only took me 2 months to get a speeding ticket. Funny thing is i drove my hummer for the rest of the week i was scared of my car LOL!!

Our motorcycle unit is used mainly for traffic enforcement especially in "problem areas reported by citizens for speeding etc... I know that they are normally told that in these areas its zero tolerance towards violations. So they may have been telling you the truth. Not so much that he was acting like a "douche".
