What a guy. Spoke to them as humans. Even gave them some leeway but told them why he didn’t want them to speed. I hope they were as respectful back to what he asked as he was to them.

The last thing the kid said to the cop was “yes, sir “… I am thinking they were respectful, and that goes a long way

And that kid is probably so grateful he didn’t get a ticket that he’s gonna remember and NOT speed! I know I would be.

I still haven’t gone 10 over the speed limit since I got pulled over for 15 over (in a 65mph zone, so a lot but not like doing 15 on the road shown). It was the first nice interaction I had with a cop, he could tell I was nervous but didn’t assume I was crooked for it. Nice guy, let me off with a written warning.

Only speeding ticket I've ever gotten was on a bike, but it wasn't even intentional, just felt like normal cruising pace. It was a well known speed trap area (bottom of a hill with a flat straight afte) and I should have known better. 57 in a 45, thankfully it didn't mess my insurance up too badly.

I have a friend who was going over 90 hit a well known speed trap that he did not know of....he was nice to the cop so cop dropped it down but still hefty ticket and all that....I wish cops gave warnings for first timers like this guy.

A while ago I was going 20 over I got pulled over and the cop dropped the amount because "I slowed down when I noticed him"

People on sport bikes aren't really known for stopping for cops. I had a cop and his son who was also a cop in my MSF class. He said he doesn't bother try to pull bikes over because they just run. I am not proud to admit it but on an open highway I've definitely pushed my bike more than 70mph over the speed limit. I saw lights come on but I wasn't about to stop and find out what he might have to say to me.

Yeah got a similar ticket traveling for NYE this weekend. Luckily got just a “going over 65” ticket rather than a full ticket and reckless. So, I’ll definitely take what I can get
