She's obviously been through this over and over and over before, does she get up in the morning and think things are going to somehow be different today? As far as the ticket for 5 over, be honest with yourself man, there's probably more to it like, "well I clocked you at 18 over, but I'm feeling really nice today so I'm only going to write you for 5 over" oooorrr, you almost hit three cars back there weaving through traffic, I have to write you a ticket for something, I'll just do it for 5 over if you promise to quit driving like an ass" The only times I have ever evER EVER heard of a ticket for 5 over it was actually a break from the ticket that could have been written, I have a feeling there's more to it
Yeah but its Orlando. Them guys pull you over for 5 over. Your doing 2 over they get behind you and start reading your tag. I lived out there 8 yrs and got speeding tickets and other traffic violations. Here seems to be more subtle. Out there its crazy, you think rice is in Tampa... should see the rice fest there... there's one in every neighborhood or 2 maybe 3. I guess this is why Orlando people post about getting tickets all the time. Over there there's no "Oh I'll give a ticket for something else" its here's a ticket for speeding/running a redlight/ oh and here sign this one for not having your address changed on your license". They actually look for everything else even though they pulled you over for 1 thing.

This really needs to be locked by now. Especially in not even 24 hrs this thread has 7 pages. Point is she was speeding, she got the ticket, its getting paid, she's not fighting it. She was stating facts and thinking it was profiling. Some of you agreed, some disagreed.

Cliffnotes: Speeding, Ticket Recieved, Paying the Ticket, Not looking for excuses, Facts were stated... thought it was profiling.

have you ever seen the Jim Carry movie Liar Liar?

QUIT BREAKIN THE LAW, ASSHOLE!!!!

Not trying to be rude or anything, but if you don't speed you won't get a ticket, and yeah, we get alot of attention, imports i mean, but they do tend to be kids who drive like shit (like me)

if you don't speed though, you'll only get an exhaust citation, surprised you actually didn't, seems to be the trend.

ok, cliffnotes
don't speed, don't drive like shit, and...you should be fine
maybe its just me though

Even though its a modified exhaust from the factory limits. Its a Greddy Evo Cat-back Exhaust system. It has a deep tone, well its not even that deep its to the most part quiet. Which aren't even loud like these fart cannons go kart sounding cars everyone seems to hate including myself. My car has the same type of tone she has except if I'm in 4th or 5th already cruising the speed limit you can't even hear my car. Once I past you, you'll notice I have an aftermarket exhaust. Since her exhaust isn't loud, I doubt they'll bother her about the exhaust.

no matter, aftermarket exhaust is legal, you and her can be pulled for it, if they're behind you and you leave from a light, or...like me, pull into your neighborhood, you can barely hear mine, it does not matter how loud it is, its still illegal, but i guess if you had been on here lately you would have gotten the joke

I know whats legal and illegal. You just said above it was legal which is isn't. A Honda with an exahust is a well profiled car especially when a lot of them have a fart cannon which sounds like ass. So I could see why you were pulled over. I had 2 1/2" Piping no cat, test pipe, exhaust, headers... loud as hell in the 92 Eclipse I had. Never had a problem with cops, I even got pulled over by FHP. Nothing was said about the extreme loudness.
