this is what happend. i was driving to meet my boss and he had to give me directions so he called while i was driving. i answered but left the phone on my lap untill i came to a red light. once i stopped at the redlight i picked the phone up and told him to let me know where to go. while i was still stopped the cop pulled me over. so no i wasnt driving like a dumbass while on the phone. no i wasnt putting anyone in danger. i dont talk on the phone while i am driving. and for the guy with the mustang that got wrecked. maybe you shoulda put like 2k into good breaks like willwoods or bear.... shoulda coulda woulda.

thats kinda one of the reasons i didnt pursue court with the family i figured maybe he would have learned from it and possibly get an education prolly didnt happen he was a lil thug boy but cant say i didnt give him a chance as ar as myself i have already been there done that and it hasn't paid off sux hence the reason i dont use punctuation it pisses me off to no end to pay 200k for college and not get the benefits of having a degree

at the time i had liability on it i had an apointment to take it to state farm my insurance company to get it appraised for the classic car insurance 3 days later

i like the older foxbodies as well see alot of those at the tracks runnin between high 10s to low 14s sweet cars man

those pics were when i got out of the military and i weighed 200 lbs now i am 350 after i broke my leg it went on like mad exercise habbits changed eating didnt i have done nothing else with the wraps have not had the money and wife takes it all hahahahhahahhha lesson 1 kids no marry lesson 2 the minute they start to take your money boot them ahhahahahah

What really happend is that you simply got caught. I bet that cop was gleeming when he caught you.... normally when people who are chatting away on cellphones sees a cop, they hide it.

Asshats will spend 300 dollars on a cellphone and won't spend 30 dollars on a cheap ass bluetooth device. Now what is worse is the texting while driving...

I have a good mind to swerve on a person who is either texting or chatting on a cellphone.... make them introduce themselves to a guard rail or a pole...

Call me an asshat for doing that, but I'd be doing us all a favor by speeding up the natural selection process for us all. Because if not, it may be you these people will hit.

Buy yourself a Tom-Tom (or gps device) and a Bluetooth headset. Save any future headaches with the Judicial System.

Haha! GOOD! I'm glad they're starting to hand these tickets out. Driving on the cellphone is DEADLY! Even driving while on a hands-free cell phone is deadly. It's not the hand the causes the problems it's that your mind is focused elsewhere and not on guiding a 4,000lb steel missle like it should be.

You were wrong and you got caught now pay up. Be a man and take responsibility for your actions!

I dare you to not pay it. You'll have a friendly visit from the authorities.

his family is poor i wouldnt have gotten nething if i tried.. 23k down the tubes and i mean down 68 stang gt350 built to the t

case in point dont drive and talk on your cell


rip mi mustang

never got any finished pictures because it was right after i had got done with it
That SUCKS! I'm so sorry to hear that!

I hate scum like that! You should have had free reign to beat the crap out of kid until he stopped moving if he couldn't pay for it. It's only fair IMO. This is a country where nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions and nobody has to because the law allows people to get away with everything. Plus, we're such babies these days that we want to be PC and give people second chances instead of punishing them like we should. I'm all for an eye for an eye.

What do you think tickets cost? I bet it's more than 20 in CA if you're caught picking your nose while driving.

Not "paying that much," huh? Good luck with that.
Wait to you get your "driving privileges suspended notice" in the mail.

What did people do before cell phones? Oh thats right,they waited until they got home and made a phone call.I have seen so many asshats driving and talking and they have the phone in one hand and they are waving the other hand around 1. the other person can't see you trying to make a point by waving your hands around and 2.WTF are you holding the wheel with?Worse are the idiots I see texting while driving.

Ps.The best one I have ever seen was last week at the Halloween classic race,I walk into the john before my heat and there is a guy at the urinal texting someone! Seriously was that message that important that you had to pee down your leg?
