    Have you never get pulled over and get a ticket for something that is not your fault and you think the cop should have been deal with the problem in a different manner and ended up with a better solution than giving you an unfair ticket? I met a guy he been driving for 27 years and he get pull over because his trailer license plate light was out and it was working at the time he did his inspection before he hit the road, he explained that to the officer and the cop gave him a ticket. He quit driving the day after the scenario and he told me this industry is all about money.........tell us about your story..............

    About 5 years ago, I was going south on I-35W in Fort Worth. There was a traffic jam and my lane was closed. So I needed to merge to the right. Going about 5 mph, I merged over, but a car merged to the left in my blindspot and I hit her. Basically my lugnuts got her tire. So we pulled over on the shoulder. She had a flat... I didn't help change it... I called the FWPD. She told me it was not needed. I said.....I have to or I will get canned. So I called. Turns out she didn't have a license to drive and the car didn't have any insurance. When the officer arrived...He knew of this. I also told him she wanted to forget it happened and not call the police... Wrote me a ticket for improper lane change and only gave her a warning!

    What the heck?!?!?!?!?!

    I ended up getting canned anyway....

    Why did a state police officer give you a ticket for someone else's trailer license plate light being burn out? :dontknow:

    I'm guessing you meant they gave him a ticket.

    I'm sure everyone says “the light was working when I cheeked this morning”, how are they supposed to know if you are telling the truth or not.

    Yeah i know everyone says the same but i think it would be better to give him a warning or something in order to fix it because i think most of our drivers wouldn't pull a trailer with license plate light out at night unless you are taking chances.

    Cops don't wanna hear your story nor do they care.I got a speeding ticket yrs ago in Ohio before they changed the speed to 65 and I was'nt even speeding.That was the only time ever I got a ticket unjustly.
