Got pulled over last night...
but didn't get a ticket. It was actually the first time where I didn't think I deserved one. I was doing 55 in a 45 on my way to work. He was pacing me from behind. Honestly I thought I was doing 52, but hey, what's 3mph between friends.
Anyway, he came back with my details and said "I'm not giving you a ticket because a lot of people speed through here, including me"! I think he just wanted to see the pretty silver Corvette!
It's my third time being pulled over in the same mile stretch. I need to find a new way to work!
I thought maybe Ivo was driving in front of me and drew the cop out. He does that to me a lot! Always tryin' to get me in trouble.

Edit: This is the first time being pulled over in the Z. Both previous tickets on this stretch of road were in my Camaro SS.

I've never been pulled over and not given a ticket. Oh, no I'm wrong, once. So, I guess I don't have anything to gripe about

I've had my Z for 4 years now and have never been pulled over. Hmmm...maybe I'm just not driving the car right.

I'm with 2vettes, I've never been pulled over and NOT recieved a ticket
At least that cop was nice and honest. The last time I got pulled over, I was passing a cop getting back on I95(he had stopped to help someone that was broken down). So I'm cruising about 75 and he passes me doing about 80, so I let him get 10-12 cars out in front of me and then stay there doing 79-80. Well about 4-5 miles up the road he starts slowing down, so I slow down. Then he slows down more, so I just keep cruising just over 70 and sure enough as soon as I pass him, BAAM, light come on.
He said HE paced ME, got a ticket for 80 in a 70.

I have never ever got a warning. I always get the ticket and I guess I deserved it.

Well, I have had my Z since the end of September last year, and have not been stopped yet for anything. (** knock on wood **). I'm surprised because the windows are so heavily tinted I thought for sure I would get stopped just so they could see who was driving the car so I could get "profiled".

i have been pulled over one time since 2000 and i was putting 400 miles down every other weekend on I95 quite often. my speed was over xxx at 4:30 am no traffic at all. i was given a very professional warning from a very nice trooper in a z28. i was very lucky to have not gone to jail. it could be because i pulled over as soon as i saw the reflection on the side of her car and waited for her and i had all my stuff ready. who knows, but i truly expected to pay the price for my actions. it just reinforced my opinion of the fhp. most of the troopers i have delt with have been very good people over all.

I got pulled over a few months ago. He was pacing me doing 68 in a 50. Yes I got a ticket but gave it to a local attorney and $200.00 to make it go away. I'm 52 and I don't think they will have a problem since the last time I've received a ticket was at 19. I love my Velocity Yellow Vette but it is a beacon for laser.
