Well, last night, I left work to go on break for 30 minutes. I went to the local sub shop to grab a bite to eat. Everything is fine until: im on my way back to work , and this minivan pulls out right in front of me and I am about to hit it. SO i took the turning lane and went around him. SO i get back to work nervous as hell and a guy meets me at the front door. He's like hi young man are you the one driving the MAXIMA i was like yes sir. He was like im officer **** and i was in the minivan. Blah Blah Blah you kno the routine he asks me for my licence. Then he calls my house and talks to my dad. And asks my dad if he should give me a ticket, my dad said no. But that SOB still wrote me a ticket for wreckless driving, when all i was trying to do is avoid an accident. SO i get home. Talk to my dad and My BABY has already been SOLD. In addition i have to quit my job and all this other bogus BS. Well guys ill still read threads from time to time but no more maxima enthusiast. OH and by the way the best part i paid a few grand cash for my 1995 max but i dont get any of it back. Thanks guys, it has been nice

I'm sorry to hear that buddy. Seeing as how my Mom, God-Mother, and Grandma helped me buy my car, they could sell my car whenever they wanted if they felt I didn't deserve it. And I would be heart broken if they did, so I can imagine how you must feel. From what I understand about your ticket and the circumstances surrounding it, you should fight the ticket, I bet you could at least get the charge brought down. Best of luck buddy, its one of life's hurdles you are gonna have to get over it.

dude this thread just makes me sad... I hate crap like this, and I hate officers like that - you have his badge# and name, call him in to the police about wreckless driving, pulling out in front of you, etc..!

i'm sorry man, best of luck

hlh0501

iTrader: (1)

oh yeah or just buy a semi and let him pull out in front of you again and see what happens...

lophix

iTrader: (3)

i feel your pain man, but life goes on....stuff happens for a reason. maybe THE MAN is telling you to start being self dependent and work to buy yourself stuff you want in your name. Noone can take away the pride of actually working to buy a car, then buying one. CHill out and keep an eye in the maximas for sale forum...you just might find a killer deal there.

okay i'm out.

My parents refuse to let me keep working because they will have to drive me to and from work. And im 16. I paid for the car initially with cash(check actually). I did not get his badge number or any thing. however he did call my house so i have the old mans cell phone #

oh yes...what wonderful parenting

hlh0501

if you got a ticket, it is on there. oh yeah, contest the ticket... file with the police, get a copy of the police report - show up in court and show that he cut you off and take a state driving rulebook, we have a rule about doing anything to avoid a wreck.. maybe you'll get it taken off not that it matters too much - it would help me rest at night knowing i got atleast a little bit of justice and that cop doesnt get the justice of ticketing me.

and cops, why do they bother calling your parents and asking etc... i hate when they lie to you about the ticket you are getting, heck i even got ticketed on our boat - he said he was just giving me one for lifejackets.. i end up getting 5.

They believe they are doing a good thing by selling my baby. "it has to much power". You just wait gentlemen, you just wait. If my next car isn't a 5 spd Maxima b/c of some unforseen catastophe. It will be something insanely fast. Once i can work again and save more $$$$. im thinking like Supra, SS camaro, Cobra Mustang (all used of course). I have saved my last 4 paychecks so i could meet up with VYRUS and he can do my intake, i was gonna get my windows tinted and i was gonna order my y-pipe. I had big plans. All gonna b/c of an event that occured in the course of .1 seconds

so basically, he gave you a ticket for not hitting him?

Charcoal95GXE

iTrader: (2)

That would be the *gist* of it

BriGuyMax

iTrader: (1)

I don't get it....sounds like to me the officer was OFF DUTY....how the hell does he write you a ticket if he's off duty????

Regardless...your sitaution just plain sucks...sorry man...live and learn though...maybe it would have been better to slam on your brakes and hope for the best.

Charcoal95GXE

iTrader: (2)

Yes he was OFF duty. I won't be driving again for a very long time. For 1. I can't have a job thus, no income= no car. I just don't know how the hell i am gonna get myself out of this one. I just wish i would have hit his dumb ***.......

The Gange

Presumably this cop was off duty right (he was in his minivan). I didn't know an off duty cop can still give tickets . Sorry to hear about your situation. Fight the power, bro

I definitly wish it was illegal for him to call my house off duty. I am looking for any mistake he might have made. If i find one. He is ****ed. I will take him to court so FAST..

NickStam

iTrader: (3)

This sounds really fishy, maybe your parents had the guy in the minivan tail you and set this whole thing up so that you would lose the car because it's too fast. People drive 100 mph + in a geo metro. That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Fight the ticket (since you have nothing else to do now anyway ). At least you can prove to your parents that this police officer got the best of you.

By the way, how did they sell the car so quickly?

NickStam

iTrader: (3)

plus, i hope you're not lying to us just to get sympathy. Is that exactly what happened?

Charcoal95GXE

iTrader: (2)

I am not sure all i know is that the car will bve picked up by monday. They were just jealous cause my car is so powerful....Although they drive an 02
Anyways guys im gonna lose my mind worrying about this, My parents are suck kniving *****es " the next car u get you have to pay for the car AND insurance" "Oh, bye the way, you have to quit your job too."

meccanoble

iTrader: (22)

THAT F*CKING SUCKS, i would be ****ed as all hell, i'm real sorry man, you handling this well, i would be smashing my pop's window or something....

Nick Robinson

This whole thing seems fishy. First of all he pulled out in front of you, that was his fault. had you plowed into him, it would have been his fault. You were being a SAFE driver by avoiding this. I would have made that clear. Second he wasnt on duty. Third how the hell did your parents sell your car in a matter of hours? I am not buying this...

Charcoal95GXE

iTrader: (2)

Hell yeah thats what happened. And to make matters worse i had just got my licence back last night (because i worked to late monday night ) So all night long i was driving very cautiously and at that moment i was drivng about 42-43 (the speed limit was 45) and he pulled out i was so close to hitting him i almost crapped in my pants. when i got into the parking lot at work i almost threw up because i was so scared

BriGuyMax

iTrader: (1)

I still don't understand how he wrote you a ticket OFF DUTY....as far as I know if an officer is off duty...the most they could do is call you in to the ON DUTY cops......I think it was set-up if it really happened the way it did.

Maximam

Exactly the reason why I left home at 16! I don't regret it one bit!

That sux man! My dad still owns my I30, so he can take it away whenever he feels I dont deserve it. I would be so pi$$ed if I got home and my car was sold. I hate how some police officers think they have unlimited power and they are always right cuz they have a badge.

Charcoal95GXE

iTrader: (2)

My car sold in a matter of hours. How should i know all i know is that my dad told me my car had been sold and would be gone by monday. Im really not in the mood to be called a liar. My car was all i had besides my very few friends (as i am a loser) Im just gonna go curl up in a ball and cry or something

lophix

iTrader: (3)

i dunno about everywhere else, but in manhattan, ks, some cops drive around in minivans (with govt plates) and issue tickets to parked cars and stuff. I honestly dont know if they can give tickets for moving violations.

NickStam

iTrader: (3)

instead of crying, call some police stations and ask if an off duty police officer can write tickets. I didn't think they could either. Maybe they have some a$$ backwards laws in VA. Maybe you're dad was talkin out of his a$$ when he said it's sold. Ask him who he sold it to. He's prolly lying too.

Conrad283

iTrader: (2)

you're not a loser, it'll get better ... trust me

SteVTEC

Okay so a cop pulls out in front of you, you swerve to avoid, and he writes you a ticket for basically avoiding hitting him? And now your parents are forcing you to quit your job and sell your car because it is "too fast", etc etc.

WTF? This does not add up...

Are you sure that you weren't MASSIVELY SPEEDING or something, and that the officer just didn't have enough time to see you (because of speeding)?

This is sorta what it sounds like to me... Doesn't sound like we're getting the complete story.

JoesMAX

iTrader: (2)

how did your father sell the car if you were still in it? people dont buy cars without test driving them, unless it was a friend that wanted to buy it

Charcoal95GXE

iTrader: (2)

I was going 42-43 when he pulled in front of me and instead of slammin on my breaks and swerving i had to be cool and go around him it was a split second decision in which case i made the wrong one i ****ed up and that is all there is to it. The road i was on is alway crawling with cops the fastest you can go is 51-52 with out getting pulled over so NO i was not MASSIVLY speeding i had just got my license back last night i wasn't tryin to get it taken away again

NickStam

iTrader: (3)

how did you lose it the first time?

Charcoal95GXE

iTrader: (2)

My moms best friend drives a POS dodge (avenger?) that breaks down like every other day i think she is the one that bought it/ is gonna buy it. Im just going off of what my dad told me....

erty67

I would call a police station(other than his) and ask questions about off-duty cops giving tickets. Around my way, I don't believe they can. I had a similar scenario once. He followed me ot work, called in my license, and threatened me with a ticket. A fellow coworker came over and told him, "leave the kid alone." I was shocked. Turns out, my coworker was also a cop and knew that he couldn't give me a ticket! Anyway, ask questions and find out if this was legit. If not, challenge the ticket in court with the information you get from the other police station. Unforchantly, it sounds like your maxima is gone. This may, however, prove to your parents that you are more mature than that. Good luck to ya.

Conrad283

i don't understand how's it wreckless driving if you swerved to avoid hitting him, i'd fight it bro

you lost it as in your parents took it?

SteVTEC

Oh, okay, so you have already lost your license ONCE, and you are only 16, and you expect us all to have sympathy for you. mmmmmmmmmkaayyyyy

Why don't you learn how to drive properly first before driving ANY car (much less a Supra TT or Camaro SS), because it seems as though you have already missed a few lessons.

If your parents are taking your car away, I say it's a good thing, because you'll probably end up killing yourself, and god forbid possibly others, before you even reach 18. And guess what. Once your car is gone, you won't need the job that you had to put mods on it to make it even FASTER, so that you can drive it even MORE irresponsibly!
