Got pulled over 20 minutes ago
 

So I'm leaving base to go home on my lunch break. I'm driving the T/A and I still have the slicks/skinnies on. I leave base driving 45, then start slowing down since the limit drops to 40 for about a block, then goes back up to 45. I'm doing 42 when the state cop passes me then whips a u-turn. I set the cruise at 45 in a 45 thinking I'm about to get pulled over for exhaust being too loud. He paces me then flips on the lights. I pull off on a side street and shut it down. The number of tickets i'm getting is going through my head. He walks up and asks for the usuall. He said the reason I pulled you over was because you were doing 52 in a 40. I said, I was doing WHAT!!?:shock: I remained polite, just shocked. Then it hit me...the slicks are bigger than my street tires. I said, oh, the bigger tires I have on now must have thrown off the speedo. He asks how my record is and I told him the last time I was pulled over for speeding was 2002. He goes ok and walks back to his car. He comes back with a warning and goes on his way. I'm lucky he only wrote me a warning.

I didn't think the tires threw my speedo off 7 mph ugh. Anyways, needless to say I'm driving the Vette back to work lol.

that reminds me, i have a court date this week !!! LOL

no getting pulled over for me thanks

i need to be good until this is done

Ouch

being in school four hours from home from September to May helps

I went through that too

You still running 26x9.5s?

- Justin

26 x 10

26 inch should be the regular size of the tire, despite the width. Even if its a little big bigger then 26 inches, 7 mph off is still a lot. I think the Statie needs his gun recal'ed. I would have busted out my air force special forces moves on him and entered him into a world of hurt....but thats me.

btw...im also on that very same driving plan.. :(

Damn, how many ppl. here have gone thru this driving plan? I am at the current moment too.

yeah that was wierd to me too. 7 mph. I thought the 26s were the same size as stock tires? He either tagged someone else or needs a recal. I should take a pic of the 40 zone he says he tagged me in. It's no more than 200 feet. I'll be the first one to admit if I was doing anything wrong, but I know for a fact I wasn't doing 52 in a 40.

when do you two finish?

do u have gears in the car that couldve thrown it off?

A year from March 7th. is one probabtion, then theres another from Jan. ??, when I took that driver's course that the state made me take.

90 days after april 12th.

you finish the suspension or the probation?

There no way your speedo was off that bad. My friend drives a truck that came stock with 28in tires and now has 40in tires on it. his speedo is only off 10mph

stock size is about 25.6? should throw your speedo off ~1mph.

Probation ends 90 days from april 12th.

I do, but the car has been tuned for the gear change. I think he tagged someone else by mistake and pulled me over for it.
