I've rarely gotten out of tickets and got quite a few back in the day (clean record the last few years though, knock on wood), but i do have one time i did get out of one.
It was late at night, and a party had wound down at our place (luckily i wasnt drinking that night). I was either driving a group of mostly underage and drunk friends home or to perkins (cant remember which it was), and i go down mortenson, past the middle school which had just recently been dropped from 40 to 25 thanks to that new middle school being put in there (why that isnt just 25 during certain times, like it would be everywhere else, i dont know...) . I got pulled over going 40ish, and was looking forward to another pricey ticket.
Whether due to it being late at night and prime drunk-hunting time, or he mightve smelled the alcohol on everyone else in the car, it meant i was asked out of the car to do a field sobriety test and take a breathalyzer. Blew .000, and the cop let me go without a ticket and a 'thank you for being a DD'.
I thought it was 30. Oops.
