Speeding ticket on Christmas day.
121 in a 100 zone. He didn't even say Merry Christmas when he gave me the ticket. ![Sad :(](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/sad.gif)
What were you actually going, where abouts, and what kind of radar if it's not too much of an intrusion? ![Smiley :)](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/smiley.gif)
I'm obsessed with cop radar/tickets. ![Tongue :P](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/tongue.gif)
Just for you as I know you will love it.
Cruising along the 401 (Westbound) between Chatham and Windsor with the cruise on somewhere between 120-124kph and traffic is light, weather is perfect and roads are dry.
Start passing some truck in the middle of three lanes and then notice its a copper. He waits until I'm pass and the on comes the (inside) lights to which I quickly pull over. He gets out of his truck and starts screaming at all the cars that don't move over and right then I know its over.
He comes to the window and just says, don't pass cops and give me your license and insurance. I find my license and he starts to walk away to which I say, didn't you want my insurance. He basically says, I really don't give a

I just need to know if you have insurance (my version of what I felt he was saying).
He comes back and gives me the ticket saying the instructions are on the back.
I made the bone head move of passing a cop driving in the middle (not right) on a clear sunny day on dry road with minimal traffic on Christmas day. I'm guilty. I'll take my lump as the number of traps I've blown through at 130kph or the number of times I've done the London-Toronto at 150kph without getting caught. Just that morning I was doing 155-160kph between Toronto-London, it could have been worse.
The only part that bugs me is that I knew that OPP in that Chatham area are all about giving out tickets...as many as they can. Oh well.
On the way back the next day we say about 10 people pulled over between Windsor and Chatham but at least then it was freezing rain/rain so I can understand anybody going over 110kph getting a ticket.
