I think you are bitching and moaning too much. First, your dad gives you a car and doesn't make you pay insurance. You in return drive like an idiot and think because the cop can't tell the difference between bumper trim and panels that you don't deserve the ticket. I don't think you are going to find any sympathy here. Sounds like you just plain messed up a good situation.

17??? Bitching about insurance? I had to buy both my cars, with my own money, and pay for my insurance with my own money. In return I don't drive like a jackass.

If you want your car back, get on your dads good side, real fast. Hell, buy the ****ing car from him. Stop wasting money on mods to a car you're borrowing.

Same here. I bought my car all by myself and have always paid the insurance myself. (I was on my Dad's plan, but I paid him my premium. Im now on my own plan) Except it didn't stop me from driving like a jackass. $205 a month insurance stopped me from driving like a jackass, lol.
I think you blame your Dad too much, when the real problem lies with yourself. He's trying to teach you a lesson, but your taking it the wrong way. Hating your Dad won't make the situation any better. Sometimes you just gotta buck up and take some responsibility. Life isn't easy, welcome to the real world.

ok first off, i pay for my own insurence, but have no way of buying it on my own. he won't allow me to get a checking account because he knows i will go free from then, second of all, i was not speeding at 95 mph, especially at that time, my car had a burnt out cooling fan, coolent leak, and a partially blown head, would i be driving it hard? i was going freaking 60 due to my car fishtailing in the god damn rain. i am not blaming the cop for writing me a ticket i'm am saying that i believe he got the wrong person. when i was pulled over, a car also pulled over in front of me but sped off as they saw me parked behind them, THAT car was black. i'm thankful for your input, but realize what i'm trying to say, since i've been 16, i've taken care of myself, i've gone through 3 jobs already. and this is the only one that is working out. i pay him my share of the insurence, i pay for anything that has to do with the vehicle i drive, yes i would buy the car off of him, but he will not sell it to me. sure, i drive it, i fix it. but if so, then why did this not apply for my brother when he was driving it, and it still doesnt for those of you who want to say something. trust me, i've thought of buying it from him already. -.- sorry for not stating the details of my ticket out, i was pissed and in a hurry

**mazdaspeed?** · 03-17-2005, 01:35 AM

i think ur over exaggerating here, when im driving the speed limit, which is most of the time now, i dont get pulled over. now in my 5.0 ive been pulled over many times for speeding and only have gotten 1 ticket. stop speeding and driving wreckless and cops wont be attracted to ur car. quit showing off and take it to the track!!

this thread is LOL-ish

**Gro Harlem** · 03-17-2005, 10:18 AM

read ur post...can't say i sympasize with you.

yeah the car is your dads, he let you drive it, you got TWO Tickets within a year? I don't care who you are, how unlucky you are, cops pull over people for a reason. You need to learn to NOT ATTRACT ATTENTION when you are driving, thus you are at fault for all of these consequences.

****...every time I've been pulled over, i admit i deserved it. I am pretty anal when it comes to driving on the highway. If I'm in the left lane, i make sure i have a car in front and behind me if i'm going way above the limit. You are basically immune if this is the case. If it is night time and no one is on the road & I can't see far ahead I set the cruise at 72mph (in a 65) and I've never had a problem in 4 years of doing it. If i'm driving around town, I don't weave in and out of traffic, drag race (unless i feel like it which is rare) and ****..never got a ticket around town. Only got 3 tickets so far, One speed trap, and the other two speeding on the highway that i deserved. I also got some repair orders but those dont' count.

I suggest you review your driving habits & methods and figure out the best way to avoid attention from the po po. There are books on that kind of ****. I learned from my dad what to do and what not to do when you are on the highway to avoid attn (yet still be able to speed) and what he told me is basically exactly what I read in this book I got about speeding tickets.

my 1st car was my graduation gift from High school from my mom&dad was a pos $350 1977 VW Rabbit.
That I had to keep gas in, maintain and pay insurance on... I drove that almost through college for which, by the way, I had to pay for too...

Sounds to me, like you need to put yourself in your dads shoes. It might not of been the ticket that struck him to do this, it might possibly of been your attitude(blaming the cop?) or even the fact that 95mph is completely unsafe speed for you and anybody around you on the public motorways.

I would have been soooo happy with a Rabbit, those things are sweet.

word, thats exactly what i do. ive had 4 tickets in 4 years of driving, 3 of them were b.s., one was legitimate-i got 3 careless and recklesses, 2 of which were dropped because the guy didnt have a foot to stand on, and the DA knew they were retarted, such as "rear wheels spinning" in a fwd car *rolls eyes* and one was a sound violation, for pulling onto the road normally, then avoiding a pot hole. the cop then though i was drunk for swerving around the pot hole, so i got a nice 150 dollar noise violation? wtf is that. but i still took responsibility for them, didnt blame my dad, i was obviously still doing something stupid enough to get a police officers attention

**hienishere** · 03-17-2005, 02:11 PM

thanks for the insight you guys.. i suppose most of what you say are right.. but some things i still disagree with.. the line between me and my dad was broken long ago, around the time i was about 12 or so.. it's a big thing... about his family... anyhow.. the first ticket i recieved, i desearved.. but the second one..i didnt desearve, sure i was driving other people around.. i desearve that part, but no, i was not speeding. i very seldomly speed, usually only on streets where there is no car and no way cars can enter the street except visible entrances, you're right, perhaps i misunderstood him, and he misunderstood me.. i dont know.. i just miss my car.. sure it's legally his car.. but i've put so much work and dedication into it... i just miss her..no deansweetp5, i was not actually traveling at 95 mph on a freeway on which everyone else was doing 85. i was doing 60-70 tops, but i did bring attention to myself for the muffler i have on the car. jitb, i can't get an account without parent or guardian approval yet, good idea though.. i might just have my uncle co-sign for me.. i think before that i'm actually going to have to purchase the vehicle from him...
thanks everyone

**ProtoRice** · 03-17-2005, 02:29 PM

Look dude, I am 22 and paying ~$80/mo for insurance. I've paid for all my own cars (about 10) except two, one of which was a junker my dad gave me (bought for $150) and the other is my dad's old race car, which he gave to me as a Christmas gift (yes, it's nice having a dad like that). But I've always paid my own insurance. You have no right to bitch that your PRIVILEGDE to drive has been revoked by your parents. Get a job, pay for your own car/insurance/etc. and then you still can't bitch, because it's because of your OWN ACTIONS! IT'S YOUR FAULT!
