Almost got speed trapped

[Dr4gonCoupe]

well i got out of school tonight around 11 and well, i live about 20-45 min away so i try to get home as fast as possible so i can get home and sleep. well anyways i drive pretty sporty, i start driving down 125th st to get on i-95 southbound suddenly a guy from my class with a ford focus starts racing me.

i acknowledge and its on! we speed through the streets and on to the highway. i had the worst luck with slow cars in the way boxing me in. well, it was fun but i wasn't serious. he lives in boca, which is northbound and soon i had to break away to go west.

once we broke it off, i had what i thought were highbeams shine at me, i looked back and there was no one. "heh, maybe it was my imagination" well, a few moments later i notice where the light was coming from. a spotlight from a helicopter! the same light shined down on the other guy but it was too late, we were going the speed limit then. oh boy, i was paranoid as hell and soon the chopper pulled away and i got home safely.

wow what a night!

ya they use the helicopters a lot over here. my friend was messin around in his silver SRT-4 and noticed the helicopter and pulled into best buy and parked next to the other silver SRT-4 that the guy works there lol my brother got caught doin like 140mph in a 45 with his motorcycle cuz of the helicopter

[Dr4gonCoupe]

i sure hope they didn't take a picture of my license tag. but i wouldn't be surprised if they did.

[Hussain]

a helicopter? no they just follow you and tell the cops where you are and then a cop pulls you over

[dldjros69]

I havent seen any helicopters in pa. Thank god.

The state police r still dirty, along with the townies.

I got a question?

Since i am a licensed driver in pa, what happens when i get a ticket in NJ or NY, ect...

Will the ticket transfer?

[adidas2go]

What do you mean by transfer? If you get a ticket in another state, you have to pay the ticket, or show up to court. In most cases, its a long ways from your residence, you you kinda have to suck it up and pay. As far as the points system goes, a hit on ur license for a ticket anywhere in the US, shows up on your license

[Marisha]

not exactly...a few states don't follow that rule and PA happens to be one of the lucky ones

I know this for a fact. BF used to have a PA license and got a nice one on the BQE in Brooklyn. Paid it off and no ill effects on the driving record

saw it on Wikipedia at one point, but can't find it now

[dldjros69]

i know of people getting dui's in nj, and not loosing their licence in pa. but loosing it only in nj.

I cant speed in pa anymore. I have 5 points and lost it b4 for speeding.

i get passed by nissan quests all the time. It kills me.

werd that sucks bro ive never heard of that stuff by me

[Infantry1327]

I was speeding in Tennesse and I had a california license. I got a ticket and payed the fine. A few months later when I got back to cali I checked my record and it never came up. It never showed up on my insurance either. I am pretty sure that insurance companys only check the state you live in. It is the issuing state that will decide if they want to notify the licensed state. If you get a DUI in a different state. That state can not suspend your home state license. They will notify your state, and it is your states decision if they want to suspend your license.

im kinda dissapointed that no one took notice to my apache attack helicopter picture...boo.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Blake, reciprocity doesnt go across all states...For instance, if NJ finds out you got a moving violation out of state, they give you 2 pts on your license, regardless of the infraction.

HOWEVER, many states do not share reciprocity and dont give up your info as long as you pay the ticket... for instance, if i get a speeding ticket in cali, and i pay it... NJ and my license has no idea of it.

im kinda dissapointed that no one took notice to my apache attack helicopter picture...boo.

I ROFL'd haha, so did some of my co-workers =P

[Dr4gonCoupe]

seen it before

[CanadianCoupe]

Wow, I'm just glad that Canada can't afford helicopters...jk lol

In my province we have no helicopter surveillance, but we do have that stupid photo radar everywhere!

[xkursion]

Ottawa police bought a plane o.O ...... seriously who chases speeders with a Cessna ... WTF

[S13_love]

montana doesn't have any helicopters ...one time i was on a roadtrip to minneapolis to visit some family, between billings and the n.d. border (thats just about half of the state) there was only 1 cop patrolling it , i was doing about 100 mph the whole time with my parents suburban (aka the party bus)
