I also have gotten out of a ticket by pulling over and waiting.

I was in my M3 and I hardly every take it out unless the gods have blessed it a perfect day. Regardless, it still had my shoe polished numbers from going to the track the week before.

I came flying around an off ramp to a yield sign which brings you to a 25mph road and then a traffic light about 40 yards ahead. I looked back before the yield sign and saw nobody in my lane so I just kept my speed up to get to the light. Well, halfway through passing the yield sign and into the lane I saw the black and white pulling into my lane from the other merging lane behind me.

He doesnt put any lights on as we cross the road but I just pull into the first parking lot on the right and he follows. He walks up and asks me why I pulled over. I say "Im sure you want to talk to me about something". He laughs at this and starts asking me about my car(noticing the numbers). Then he says "you were going a bit fast through the yield back there". I explain that I hardly ever take the car out and offramps are fun. I never really drive like that except for when Im at the track(hence the numbers) and dont advocate it on the street.

He then says "Ok, how about this. I run your license and if its clear, I give you a warning of some kind. If its not clear, Im giving you a ticket of some kind." I felt confident so I said ok. He comes back about 5 mins later and says, "Ok, youre clear. Now take off the rear license place holder because it blocks the state name and you cant do that. Theres your warning"

He was really cool. Actually come to think of it, all the times Ive been let off they were State troopers. Everytime I got a ticket, they were township cops.
