Re: COPS: the enemy + Insurance Premuims



Dude, I'm sorry you had such a hard time with this whole thing. All I can say is been there, done that. I had my licence taken away for 6 months in college for too many points. As for the high cost it is something us males have to deal with. It sucks. But what goes around comes around. I got pulled yesterday in my truck two blocks from my house, 38 in a 25. I stop the moment I saw the lights. Be nice. Leave your belt on. Thank him. In other words kiss his ass. Otherwise he can make it a lot worse. It turns out after coming back from the movie and dinner thing the cop had called my house. He looked at my record and lowered the ticket to a warning!. No points, no cash.  Now thats crazy talk. If he only knew how I drive my 'rocco.  Don't let this get to you there are too many crazys out there already, don't become one of them.


Ugg, don't mean to sound like dad.
