I was running late to work this morning, so I was trying to make up time. I was going about 80, and I had a funny thought. What if I bumped it up to 88? If I got stopped, and the officer walked up to ask me if I knew how fast I was going, I could say, "eighty eight miles an hour!" in my best Doc Brown voice. If the officer that stopped me was a fan of the BTTF movies, maybe he would let me go with a warning (it's 18 over the speed limit, but still)? Then I got to thinking, ya know, I might really be able to play it up. When the cop asked me why I was going so fast, I could say, "well, I'm running late for work. I know at best I will only gain maybe 3-4 minutes, but I'm hoping if I hold this speed the flux capacitor will kick in and I can travel back in time."

What do you guys think? You think it could get me out of a ticket? :angel:

Try it, just make sure to have a camera to see his reaction haha. I run red turn arrows all the time, figure if I get stopped I will just tell him I'm not going to let the "man" tell me when or when I cannot turn, esp. when there is no effing traffic and its 5am. :thumb:

I do always stop and make a quick check for the po-po before I go though.

Red lights r made for traffic control. At 5am I'll stop at one, bit if there isn't any traffic, I get going! There isn't traffic control at that time n waistin my mpg :)

Stopped once at 16yo for no seat belt, once since for speeding. Lost count for no front license plate...

I think you are better off saying that you spent the night at your girl friends place for the first time last night and you woke up and had to take a dump. It was either stink up the bathroom at her place or drive home. So you are speeding to take a dumb. It'll work, trust me!

I got out of a ticket one time coming from UPS and on the late shift and was the morning manager at the local powerhouse gym. Had to have the gym open up at 4am and was doing about 90 and as always they ask" So where ya going so fast?" so I told him and he told me you better not let me beat you there! It helps when all the law enforcement get good discounts.
