    I thought that was only if more than a ticket was involved.

    Like an inspection...........

    All citations must be reported to my company when I get them. Failure to do so convicted or not is grounds for termination. I imagine the company would like to protect their csa score by having the citation dropped from speeding to something lesser.

    BTW my jake is muffled, my turbo makes more noise spinning up when I'm pulling out from a stop. I'm a company driver, not one of those guys with the chromed, lighted up longnose pete's with the obnoxiously loud pipes hehe.

    Honestly, someone here said I had this coming, so you have never done what I did? Ever? If you say you haven't I'll call you a liar. I'm sure you wouldn't be happy about it either.

    And yes it was a backwoods hick cop. He never even checked the background on my license when he got me and was suprised when he asked me how clean it was and I told him. What kind of cop doesn't run a license when they pull someone over?

    Call me a liar then.

    Believe it or not I have never 'gently' slowed while knowingly entering a slower speed zone at 14 mph over. Honestly, I don't think that should be hard to believe. When I see a sign ahead indicating increased speed I don't speed up until I reach the sign either. I have no intention of messing up my license or bank account just so I can be a whole one second further up the road. Makes no sense to me.

    Hate that for ya. If the cops there are like what I've seen the last wk and a half, something has crawled up their shackle holder. Whether your Jakes a window rattler or a p####y fart, that early Leo starts to itch. I Jake unless posted and mine is loud but I don't run high rpms thru town to stay quiet. I love how small towns don't warn of speed til its too late. Went thru 1 in northern IN this week was in the middle of BFE 60 mph posted on hwy I seen 1 small cluster of houses didn't know that was the whole town! Lol at the 1st house was a 35 mph sign no warning...60-35 I jaked and braked by the time I got 35 was outta town and looking at 60 sign again. A 200 yrd speed trap.
