Who's been pulled over on their mower?

I'll start... Was driving the yellow wheelie machine back when I lived in town. Stopped at stop sign, cop goes by, so I drive on, and park in driveway. Sure enough, he spins around, and pulls in driveway. Says to me, "You can't be driving go-karts on the road" I tell him it's a mower, he looks at it, and says, nevermind, have a nice day!


Also had a cop stop and watch us try to start the suicide machine go kart when I lived in town, on the road. He wanted to put cop lights on it...

And got a ticked once, unlicensed vehicle, for driving my old kart on the road. Also in town. Not one problem since I moved to the country.

I've got a few car stories also... pulled over doing over 100mph in my old ford truck(it went way faster than 100...) and no ticket...

I haven't been pulled over yet when I lived in town but, a cop lived on my road and one day he came down and Said "Nice Ride! How fast does it go?" LOL That was the best! I told him how fast it went but didn't believe me, I put it in 3rd and I took off, he clocked me doing 30 on a 25 with it, no ticket.

ME!

I got talked to before. Got lucky he didnt ticket me as he was the "arsehole" cop you didnt want to get caught by.

Nope! My next door neighbour is a cop- he loves my projects, and never gives me a hard time for driving my junk on the road... Then again, we're talking rural area- farms all around, dirt road with 50 MPH (80K) speed limit. Not exactly yuppie subdivision stuff.

Ya I got pulled over doing like 45 in a 40, he said unlicensed driver driving an unregistered vehicle, no ticket but he said he will impound it and put me in jail lol if he said he saw me again

I always wondered how a cop could possibly issue a legitimate ticket for a thing like this. In my head, it goes like this:

COP- "Sir, I'm gonna have to write you up for this. Lemme see your license."
ME- "Don't have it on me."
COP- "What is your name sir?"
ME- "Barack Obama."
COP- "Fine, Mr Obama. I'll be right back with your citations."

Flash forward 5 minutes, and I'm on my merry way with a ticket that's not worth the paper it's scribbled on, because it's not in my name.

Lol good one I guess it'd work

If it isnt loud, it isnt cool. Screw em!

havent been caught yet, but i have ran many times! Just 2 weeks ago i went to go drive on the main road in town, and a cop was sitting about 20ft away at an intersection, so i stopped to see if he would leave, he didnt, so i did a u-turn on the road and parked in someones yard. i do it all the time

i havnt yet, but i did get chased saturday night in my dads f250, i was doin 100 in a 55 zone

oh wow i thought i was the only one who had this happen lol it sucks when the new york state police come up behind you and say pull over we got stopped by the sheriff plenty of times one year i got stopped by the state police on my birthday lol but the cops know me and they dont bother us to often but when they do the take some picks lol one time the police was chaseing us but we know the trails and lost them lol but they dont really bother me so much

Most trouble I've ever gotten into was when i was at my buddys with the ranch king, and the engine started backfiring like a uzi on the pipeline and they thought someone was shooting down there..

oh wow the best time was when me and my boy did a pully swap on my 63 wheel horse i got clocked at 75 mph by the county sheriff when i was testing this thing out i drove up my st and busted a uie so i pulled out slowly to see if any cars were around and i took off doing a wheely in 1st hit 2nd nose up and hit 3rd gone

I've been pulled over riding on my tractor once....because someone called the cops on me they said I was going fast and they didn't want to see anyone get hurt

once so far lights flashing i stopped dude was like wheres the deck i told him i took it off he was like how did you make it so fast me: i changed the pulleys cop: thats pretty cool just dont drive it on the street and he left

lol that was really good i like that  

welp got back from doing donuts, im standing in the house and theres a loud knock at the door, i open it and there the monroe country sheriff standing there... and he asked who was the one doing donuts on the lawn mower, i said me, and he like ok, is your mom or dad here, i said ya, my mom. ect ect, he said if i cause an accident, its my fault, and i can get a disturbance ticket. he coundt do anything i think cuz he dint catch me in the act. but thats enough of a warning fior me, im saying of the roads

I haven't gotten pulled over yet but i might when my mowers done lol
