Anybody get any speeding tickets with their Charger yet?
I don't have the car yet, but I want to find out how long it takes to get a ticket

That's a pretty unusual company car! Is it a 318 car? At 1800 miles a week since 1970 it must have 3.2 Million miles on it by now! :biggrin:Moparitis said:You don't need a Charger or Mustang to get a ticket: I got 3 in 4 days driving a 1970 Plymouth Satellite company car.
where are you? i dont want to get pulled over this morning on the way to workcopcharger said:wow this is like the third time someone has posted about this... (i am writing this response sitting in my patrol car watching traffic go by) i dont know why people think that we ticket based on the type of car u drive as apposed to your driving behavior. think about it this way if 25 cars are going 55 and 1 acr is doing 68 who do u think we are going to look at? not the 25 cars doing 55......... as a general rule 10 over is safe anything more than that and u r pushing it. like they say give them an inch and they take a mile. hmmmm there goes a volvo wagon doing 18 over...... yep im going to stroke him, not cuz he is driving a volvo but cuz he is doing 18 over. just dont draw attention to yourself and u will be chill. remember cops are motor heads too
Yes it was a 318, but they traded them in at about 70K or so miles. And anyway I was at the time heading for the Houston office in Greenway Plaza to be a stupidvisor and would lose the company car benefit; so I bought it from the company, stayed in the office 30 months and went back to the field where I would regain a company car and so I sold the car to an office worker and she ran it under an 18 wheeler on the way to work one morning.jcmeci said:That's a pretty unusual company car!

Amen to that.Dysentery Bob said:Note to you Charger owners in Kennesaw, please don't have an accident in my area....it would break my heart to see a charger in that state while I am waiting to get one.
About a year ago I had started on a 400 mile trip to CC, Tx and was driving about 85 on the tail of a Caddy. Well I got behind and while trying to catch up a Hiway Patrolman topped a little hill and got me at about 80+. He asked to see my DL and when I opened my billfold I pullled out my old 1964 NHRA Top Fuel Dl and handed it to him. He started grinning and then laughing and told me he loved drag racing and even took his Cop Car to a local strip and ran it. He was in a Monte Carlo and told me he was itching for a HEMI(R). All he did was write me a warning and said to hold it down a little.copcharger said:wow this is like the third time someone has posted about this...
