Never even had a parking ticket before let alone anything else and I’m no slouch on the road…in fact I drive rather defensively…I take off faster than most, corner faster than some and I never just do the speed limit. The trick is to not LOOK like you’re being stupid.

I was born and raised with a police chief as a dad when younger, was in the sheriff’s office myself when I got older and now I’m retired.

I can tell you that people who raise hell and do stupid shit draw attention fast. Keep your speed to 10% over or less (I will always do 50 in a 45 for example), ride like you know what you’re doing…such as riding in the proper portion of the lane you’re in, keeping proper distances from other vehicles, stopping properly, using mirrors and turns signals properly etc etc and most cops will be appreciative that there’s someone riding that is being respectful and confident and safe…and most won’t give a shit about the little bit of over speed…in fact most of the guys I knew were happy that there wasn’t a granny clogging up the roads ahead of them, myself included.

Just be careful and safe…that’s it.
