6K RPMs?
How do you accidentally kick it up that high?
If there are cops standing in the road near you, try to keep your revs below 3300... our cars make a lot of noise as is, and there's nothing to gain from drawing the extra attention of police to you as you drive by by taching your car up high... particularly in the rain.
I'm not saying you deserve the ticket, but you should use a little more common sense in those situations in the future.
The police work out on the roadways all day.. standing in and near moving traffic. I'm sure they don't take too keenly to people making gestures of speed near them when they are in a vulnerable situation such as that. We've all seen the videos online of police cruisers and officers getting tagged by careless drivers.... so it's understandable how officers would by hypersensitive to such activity.

Its really weird.....i pretty much read these forums every day and for some eason today everyone has stories about being pulled over.....scary part is i got pulled over this morning by a motorcycle cop.....my father is an officer in a nearby county luckly...the guy pulls me over and says i was speeding....i asked him how fast i was going and he said he didnt have a radar gun....i laughed....so he asks the usual question....license, and registration....i give it to him and he comes back asking for my insurance card....which had just expired 2 weeks ago...so he knows my dad is a cop and still writes me a 7.50$ no proof of insurance ticket..... wat a joke

You either have ZERO throttle control or you were just goading the police by nearly redlining your engine as you passed. Are you really surprised by the reaction you got?
"Oops, I nearly redlined my car while trying to accelerate 5 MPH"
hahaha, you make me laugh!

haha some of u guys on this forum are pretty dumb. understand the situation before u start talking trash.
or half u dont even have g's.
first of all my vdc was on.
the roads were wet...meaning tires slip easy. meaning when i barely tapped the pedal my cars rpm jumped from like 2000 to 4000. even though it was 5mph increase, it was enough to get their attention due to the exhaust.
i didnt do anything, i didnt speed, i didnt lane straddle.
the cop was some like 20 yr old kid and im sure he wanted to go back and brag to his other friends about it.
hahaha so yeah before u start criticizing know the situation.
bottom line: cops not gonna show up.

If your VDC was on and functional, your car would not "accidentally slip" from 2000 to 6000 RPM's.
Reread what you post before you accuse us of talking trash.
Dahahah.... I'm just messin with you man...
But seriously, we all own G's here, and everyone knows it's not possible to accidentally slip your RPM's that much with the VDC on.. particularly since at 35 MPH you're going to be in a gear that's a lot higher than 1rst gear(most likely 4th gear if your RPM's were at 2K at 35 MPH).

yeah u werent speeding, but im gonna write you a ticket for lane straddling.
wtf is lane straddling? he says...oh you were driving in the middle of the road. dude im not that dumb to drive in the middle of the road when there are 3 cop cars next to me.
he says i was doing it for 250 ft...
neway i need some feedback...any of u guys got a ticket for lane straddling and if so how much?
i live in ORANGE COUNTY, CA.

If you're not stupid enough to drive in the middle of the road then what were you doing at 6000 rpm with the pedal to the floor on a wet road with the police behind or beside you?

here's my .02 cents worth, everyone knows that all these traffic violation tickets are just revenew generating tools for the local counties, you can see it if you ever go down to your county court house, they have it setup like an assembly line, all to do nothing more than seperate you from your money.
I especially think that speeding is totally bull**** ticket, I've been passed by minivans trying to keep my speed down, they get away with it all the time, but as soon as I punch it a little I see the blue lights in the mirror cause they are not looking for them even though the G can handle those speeds better than a top heavy SUV or minivan.
I think one of the problems is the vehicles capabilities have increased but the speed limits still havn't changed all that much in the past 10 years.
