Attitude is everything!!!! I always like honesty rather than folks lying to me or making excuses for their actions.

Ride Safe!! Rob

A good attitude is the best, I never wrote anyone with a good attitude, I wrote plenty who didn't. Just think before you speak, you don't ever get stopped for being observent of the traffic laws.

This was absolutely the best policy if it was me that happened to stop you.

So few people I stopped over the years were honest that when someone said to me something like, "Yeah, I was speeding. You got me trooper," this was the fella who got the written warning. Warnings in NJ are truly a 'free pass' and they don't appear on your driving record. Now the guy who was stopped on the Atlantic City Expressway doing 92 mph in a 70 mph zone (the old speed limit on the ACE) and started the conversation with "What are you stopping ME for!," well, you can figure out the end of that scenario on your own.

P.S.- I retired on April 1, 1991. It'll be 18 years in just three days! Time flies when you're having fun!

I never had to flash my badge either. I strategically place it near my license, so the popo accidentally sees it....

..... all in fun. I carry a badge, but have never had to get special treatment, just don't put myself in a position to have to use it. I haven't been pulled over in 12 years.... I'm only 33 years old..... so, use your head and drive safe....

I was going to say, I was not , then I quickly caught myself and said, I was and if you say I was then I proberly was, I was just trying to get home and wasn't paying attention to my speed. He ask to see my license and if my bike was a classic. I said yes, he then said I am going to write you a warning ticket. I learn a long time ago, don,t inslut them by telling them a lie. He was real cool and I couldn,t have been happier.

Glad you got out of it, would have played hell on your insurance.

While honesty is the best most of the time ( or just shut up) and thats the card I play i also expect the common courtesy to be reciprocated. Most of the time it is. Every now and again an officer is rude and condesending, not even civil and its on like donkey kong.
