I got only one ticket since i have my VX, knock on wood . I was in New York, Times Square and i stopped on the crosswalk to ask for dirrection. I stopped for 3 min only with my 4 ways on and out of nowhere cop pulled over behind me without any lights and came up to me and said ONLY 2 words, license and registration, then walk away and came back and gave me a ticket and just walked away without saying have a nice day or anything at all. I was so pissed off that day. I know i shouldnt be stopping there but still he could be nicer and give me a warning or something.

Looks like I take the VX ticket cake with a "speed contesting of a highway". My reward.... silver bracelets, 5 points, and traffic school. Dont try this at home kids. Live and learn, the hard way.

At least I won the race.

EDIT: Oh ya, and a few years before that, I got one for like 75 in a 55 on my way to the beach. Labor Day weekend, so I should have known better. But we get old and wise in our old age, so I am now like a slow, silent ninja on the roadways.

I get pulled over once about every 3-4 months. in the VX I have never gotten a ticket in the VX and half of the time I dont even get the written warning. They are normally just very intrested in what the VX is. I did get pulled over this weekend in Indianapolis in the mustang going 82 in a 55. Once again no ticket or warning.

I have never gotten a ticket in my Troopers or my VX! Guess Ive been lucky. And that is not from trying! It also depends alot on where you live. If there were cameras where I lived, I'd move. Wouldnt even think twice. However, I was ticketed incessantly in my DelSol living in Austin, TX. Also, around Wilmington, NC in it. Needless to say, I was glad to sell that thing. Hysterically, when stationed at Fort Hood, TX, I did have a nice run-in with a pair of hot female cops when I used to have a CJ-7. I dont know why they pulled me over (did they need a reason? lol) They gave me a warning for something, I had to advise them of weapons in the vehicle, they were nice enough while one held my arms and the other searched around. In the end, they chatted me awhile, I think I insisted that they cuff me, but they let me go, and I had the best role-playing fantasy!

The cops ALWAYS mess with my brother, however. Im a little older, and NC used to be great, and you didnt have to worry about donut eaters, but today it is not like that- I keep telling him. I feel sorry for him sometimes. He doesn't even drive anymore because of this. Of course, he does drive like Mario Andretti! Lol But in his defense, I will say this. He always uses his turn signal, always lets people know his intentions, always stops for stop signs, never runs lights, never does erratic things unless provoked, never had an accident, but ALWAYS gets harassed by cops. How many times have you seen people do the above-mentioned things NOT get tickets WHILE COPS WERE SEEING THEM HAPPEN!!! I can never figure it out. Who is the danger? He gets ticketed while some guy on a motorcycle gets creamed from the rear because someone in front of him didnt use a turn signal. Seen it happen 2 miles after he got ticketed. WTF?

I'd have to say nope....I've gotten (3) speeding tickets in my life that I deserved; (1) "improper use of left lane" which I didn't deserve and went to court over and came out victorious; (2) warnings for motor vehicle code violations...one for tinted windows on my Fiero which I removed, and another for a Light bar on my '79 Ford Bronco back when they were illegal. None of these cases involved the VX.
