    Your disagreement doesn't work semantically or logically.

    Drunk is the gun. Speed is the drunk pulling the trigger. Therefore, it is the speed that kills.

    Fritters top ten complaints against people he has pulled over and will ensure you get a ticky tick.....


    10. Being really, really nice to the point of syrupy fakeness until I present you with the citation to which you then turn into a jerk calling me names and threating me with complaints.

    9. Crying. You will get a citation from me everytime if you cry. Especially if your a dude.

    8. Asking me why I'm not going after "real crooks".

    7. Arguing whether I got the "right one" or not. I did, and there is no question, other wise I wouldn't be giving you a citation.

    6. Asking me why I didn't pull over the car next to you that was "going faster then me?". Remember, I fish with a pole, not a net.

    5. Offering bribes. It's insulting.

    4. THreatening to take me to court. Please do. I actually enjoy court and getting on the stand. Remember, I don't issue citations unless I am sure and I take really good notes.

    3. Getting personal. I don't take citations personal. I am a motor cop. It is my job. So don't sit there and call me names or involve my family. I'm issuing the ticket. Not my kids. And yes, if my kid gets a ticket he will pay for it. He knows better.

    2. Flashing any part of your anatomy while shamelessly flirting. You will get a ticket every time. That goes for the ladies too..

    1. Name dropping. I don't care who you know. Call them. Complain to them. It still doesn't change the fact that you were committing a violation that caused me to have to take action to cease the violation.

    Drive safe.

    Now that's the most acerebral, ultracrepidarian, vecordious piece of yirning reasoning I have ever seen... And it makes no sense.

    Like it or not, it is the drunk (person) pulling the trigger... And the car is the gun, period.

    Speed didn't kill anybody. Neither did the alcohol the drunk consumed. The drunk himself does the killing, period. If a drunk shot somebody with a gun, you wouldn't say it was the velocity of the bullet that killed his victim, would you?

    Totally agree. It's "excessive speed" speed and imapired mind that kills from use of alcohol/drugs, degenerative changes of the brain and mental illness. Even at lower speeds, an impaired mind can wreck havoc.

    You can spend all day with your thesaurus, but it still doesn't negate the laws of physics. And any attempt to do so just makes you look sillier.

    I'll add a few pet peeves to Fritter's list:
    11. Pulling to the left shoulder instead of the right shoulder when I pull you over.

    12. Making me ask you to roll your window down.

    13. Asking me why I pulled you over before I've even had the chance to introduce myself.

    14. Making or taking phone calls during the stop.

    15. Asking to see the radar.
    I don't have a problem with flashed anatomy. Just don't expect it to help your case.

    The top three ways to get out of a ticket with me:
    1. Honesty. If you don't try to BS me, you have a very good chance of getting off with a warning.

    2. Comedy. Make me laugh, and again, you're probably going to get off with a warning.

    3. Veteran's plates. Nuff said.
