Default NO ticket for me today:)

I got pulled over, which is no real surprise, but he let me go with a warning.
I was doing 77 in a 60 and got a warning.
WOW, What a great day
The only reason he got me at 77 was I had to slow down for a car.
Usually when I get a ticket I drive slower for a while.
Does this count?

and
still no front plate(he did look)

You are a lucky man. I bet it wasn't a motorcycle cop that pulled you over. Those guys never let you go, since it's there job to give out tickets.

Your right it wasn't a bike cop.
But, it was a small town cop which is still surprising that he didn't give me a ticket.
That's what they do too.
The Dallas cops are too busy to write tickets so speed limit signs in big D are just
a suggestion.

Then you were really lucky. Maybe the small town cop just wanted to get a good look at a BIG city car

Not true, I am still on probation for a Dallas speeding ticket and was lucky enough to duck one in court just yesterday (cop quit the force and can't testify). They give tickets!

Chris, they just don't like you. I have only gotten 1 ticket from a Dallas cop, ever.
And the way I drive that's saying something.

True, but it has more to do with WHERE you drive.. where the cops are not.

It may have something to do with time of day. I am at work by 6 am and leave a 3pm.

I use to work in Plano and had to drive the tollway and never got a ticket.
I remember doing 85 on the tollway and getting passed by a Dallas cop.
That was a shock. But I think the tollway is mostly patrolled by State Troopers.

Dale watch on I20 around duncanville... the sheriffs dept has laser! That being said I managed to avoid a ticket yesterday as well... was just shifting into 4th on I20 and looked over 2 lanes to see a cop cruising... I managed not to pass him @ 90! He slowed and stayed behind me forever tho'!
