Its was a great day yesterday at around 14c so went for a ride to Whistler with the misses.
Maybe you guys can help me on this as I've never been pulled over on my bike. so im cruising along doing my thing, hear some whistles and what not look behind and I see there is a cop. Look down, I'm going the speed limit, so I think ah whatever.
He comes up license and regi blah blah. the convo goes exactly like this
Cop: Why didn't you pull over right away
Me: I dunno it's windy, im on a motorcycle and unless I physically move to
see my mirrors I can't see you DIRECTLY behind me.
Cop to my GF: You couldn't hear me either?
Me: she has her iPod in.
Me: so why are you pulling me over
Cop: you were speeding
Me: Ummm, no I wasn't. You just pulled me over.
Cop: You were doing 112kmh in an 80 zone caught on forward facing radar.
Me: when?
Cop: 10km back
Me: 10km BACK! Well I wasn't and if you apparently followed me when i didn't pull over right away you saw i was going the speed limit the WHOLE time.
So he leaves, comes back and give me a ticket for speeding and for failure to stop for the police. At this point I'm just laughing.
Cop: if you want to fight it you can meet me in North Vancouver. (NV is about 1.5 hours from whistler)
Me: hahahaha. prefect see you there. I live there.
Cop: Ride safe
---------------------------------------
Lol WTF. After all that thats what he has to say, ride safe. Idiot. So I've talked to some friends with siblings that are cops and they said I should be able to win easily but what a joke. All i do know is if I did go that fast (which isnt even fast ) i'd do it again if it means me riding safe, getting out of dangerous situations etc.
