JeremyGEE Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well, they finally got me, and damn near ran me over on my bicycle. I denied PBTs about three times, he threw me in the back of his car, and began trying to convince me I was going to jail.. Lulz. He of course let my drunk ass get home. Stupid part is I wasn't pulled over for riding my bike erratically or anything, it was because I didn't have a light on my bike?! I have reflectors and I was riding In a well lit area(parking lot). It all seems bogus to me, but now at 20, I have to goto court for an M.I.P. And I was soo close to legal age...:( The last thing the hero said to me was "I better not see you riding that bike again boy." Link to comment

Ceraziefish Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Fucking bullshit. What, did he want you to be driving drunk? Fucking asshole. Link to comment
JeremyGEE Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Fucking bullshit. What, did he want you to be driving drunk? Fucking asshole. I don't know. But hopefully I can talk to the magistrate and possibly get this off my record. I mean, it's only a misdemeanor but I'd still rather have it off my record(which is clean until now). Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 WESTERN WEEKEND SON!! THE PARTY DON"T STOP! also, That shit goes off when your 21, so its not like your going to have a problem. Link to comment
JeremyGEE Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 WESTERN WEEKEND SON!! THE PARTY DON"T STOP! also, That shit goes off when your 21, so its not like your going to have a problem. No it doesn't. I got deferred instead of having it on my record for 10 years. I paid $350 in fines(the minimum, thanks mom) and got 4 months non reporting probation. I'm just lucky this was my first offense. Link to comment
Pamuya Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 wth?? shit sucks who has a light on their bike anyways?!?!?! do they want you to duct tape a flashlight to it? THATS DANGEROUS, SON. even if thats not what you got charged with but still WTF Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 yeah in MP we need to have little red blinking lights on the back of our bikes at night. No joke Link to comment
Siendra Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 wth?? shit sucks who has a light on their bike anyways?!?!?! do they want you to duct tape a flashlight to it? THATS DANGEROUS, SON. even if thats not what you got charged with but still WTF Lots of people.... they do make bike lights, you know. And like wherever Rock lives, it's the law that you need to have lights on your bike if you're riding after 7pm here too. Link to comment
Satan Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 wth?? shit sucks who has a light on their bike anyways?!?!?! do they want you to duct tape a flashlight to it? THATS DANGEROUS, SON. even if thats not what you got charged with but still WTF Lots of people, they sell lights but taping a light on is acceptable. It's a law that's in effect in most (if not all) states in the US, not to mention Canada and from what I understand large portions of Europe. yeah in MP we need to have little red blinking lights on the back of our bikes at night. No joke I know it's not a joke. I'm surprised at the number of people who think it is. Even if it's ignored (let's face it, most bike laws might as well be jokes for how often they don't get enforced) it is still the law and a sensible precaution. Link to comment
amy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have bike lights but I still get pulled over for no reason at night. XX Suckss Link to comment
Poophy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 yeah in MP we need to have little red blinking lights on the back of our bikes at night. No joke there are a few people who have them going when their just riding around campus, i can see that point of making yourself visible to cars on a road, but those things are annoying if your riding around pedestrians Link to comment
Svenska Aeroplan Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yes. Yes. Bikes should have solid lights, or just reflectors. Those blinking lights bug the crap out of me when I'm driving, and I actually notice that I end up moving closer to the bike because I'm trying to figure out what the hell that flashing light is.

ROCKSTEADY Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 i prefer reflectors. Whats going to hit you on a bike? A car! and what do you need to have running on your car when its night? LIGHTS! Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yea, lights but it is still hard to see people on bikes or running at night. Link to comment
Siendra Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I just have a solid red light on the back of my bike and a yellow/white light on the front. Made them myself, and they're powered by peddling. I see no issue with having them what-so-ever. They're plenty bright enough for cars to see (and illuminate the road ahead of you), and they cost less then $4 to build. Link to comment
JeremyGEE Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 IM LIVING IN THE DAYS OF FAIL I just got off probation 4 days ago. Guess what happened?!?! I GOT ANOTHER MIP!!!

If you looked enough, your brother probably had a little bit of brown on his nose. Link to comment
JeremyGEE Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I will not kiss any cops ass. My brother wasn't kissing their asses either, just running his mouth. Link to comment
Elitist Indie Hipster Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 You know i was kidding right? i was implying that the cop wanted you to kiss their ass. Link to comment
JeremyGEE Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Oh, alright. This just sucks. Its my first offense, again. Link to comment
