Anybody got a ticket for the FRS yet?
I got a ticket for speeding and not stopping at a stop sign.

This car is a cop magnet. I've been pulled over twice in the past month.

Roads are for driving, Tracks are for racing.

Cops have been trying to bait me in the FR-S since day 0. On my test drive, a cop slowed down to almost 20 mph on a major road trying to get me mess up. I feel like everyone else on the road knew what he was trying to do and were pissed at me.
I always drive @ speed limit on major roads and I always make sure to stay behind a squad car if we're on the same road. I never pass their rear bumper unless I'm in traffic. Only team I speed (10 over the limit at most) is on the side road shortcut to my job and back but only because I have ever street and cop hiding spot memorized on that road (There are only five of them). It's also a pretty good driving road so it's a nice outlet after a rough day at work. Premium gas is too expensive to speed. |

I had a state cop flash his lights at me, I looked down and realized I wasn't speeding at all only to have him pull beside me and give me a thumbs up.
I drive way more cautiously now that I have the FR-S than I have in any other car, it is already an attention whore for everyone on the road so I know cops are looking too. |

77 in a 60 highway. The cops are very strict here in VA. Luckily the ticket only cost me $170. What's the best way to keep it from going on my record?

I got pulled over just a day or so ago. The cop came up to the window and said "what the fuck is this thing?" He was giving me a warning since I had no inspection or paper tags

If your state allows driving school to remove a ticket I would go that route. If it doesn't you would have to fight it in court.

Got my first ticket ever.
Parking ticket though - trying to appeal it seeing as there's a rumor that the first can be appealed if I go through the school (was on campus)

Pulled over on Hwy 1 in Mendocino for (he claimed) 69 in a 55. I'm pretty sure I was only doing about 60 and he was coming at me from the opposite direction as I was slowing down for a bridge.
He had me step out of the vehicle, asked me if I had consumed any alcohol (I had not), and then talked about the car with me for a bit. Let me off with a warning and told me to have fun but stay safe. I made sure to stay at 55 exactly for the rest of the drive. |
