I've been pulled over twice in my FRS (red, obviously modded). First time was the night before Thanksgiving, I pulled off a light and apparently hit 50 in a 35, I had no idea what the speed limit was or any idea how I got to 50 that fast. No idea where he came from either. He gave me 47/35 (to save me from reckless in VA). Thanks? I think.
Second time the officer was more of a douche. He said he had been pacing me from behind and that I was going at least 85 in a 70. I was like well that's cool but I was going 79 on cruise control, and he said the funny thing about cruise control is that it doesn't matter if I'm hitting the gas. I was about to be like, I think I know how it works. Once he realized he couldn't get me for speed he noticed I didn't have a front plate. Just got a new bumper from the body shop and didn't have he relocator plate in, so after I proved I had just gotten the car from the shop he sat in his car for a good 10 minutes and reluctantly let me go.
I'm surprised I haven't gotten more attention. I usually just find pace cars and let them take the heat if there are cops. It's more about smart driving if you really don't want to follow the speed limits. Haven't been pulled over in more than a year and I haven't changed my driving style at all.
Just be safe ya'll.
