I was on 465 Thursday when an Indy cop pulled me over. Wrote me up for 4 things:
With regard to the last 2, I did find the registration and insurance information while he was running my license and showed it to him but he already had the ticket in hand. He said to call and they would probably drop those 2 charges. With regard to the other 2, obviously I broke the law but I’m particularly pissed about the speeding since almost no one goes the speed limit on 465. I’m guessing he nailed me for it since I was in a hammer lane too.
- 10 over the speed limit
- Driving in one of the truck restricted lanes
- Not providing proof of registration
- Not providing proof of insurance
I don’t live in Indiana, and I obviously want to keep my license in good standing. Just wondering how I should go about this?

My company sent out a message several days ago warning us about that. Doesn't affect me. I do not speed, stay in the proper lane, and have all of my documents. Best advice......hire a lawyer and try to get them reduced. May cost you $1200 or so. Good luck!

Stay out of truck restricted lanes, don’t go more that 5 mph over the limit, ever.
I admit it, I cheer when I see a truck pulled over for that stuff.Wasted Thyme, truckguy391, DoubleO7 and 5 others Thank this. -
Maybe @Midwest Trucker knows a good lawyer.

It’s pretty hard to actually get pulled over by an Indianapolis city police unit. Especially on 465. Maybe you shouldn’t have been going 65 in a 55 in the hammer lane? Maybe you should have proof of registration and insurance readily available? Depending on where at on 465 you had minimum of 2, if not 4 slower lanes to run in.
Honestly, you sound like a hot mess. lol. Hopefully this is a wake up call. I rarely ever see a city unit having a truck pulled over. Always a state boy. Indiana is having a safe driving push right now for following too closely and erratic driving.Last edited: Mar 6, 2021
