AC HUM1 is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Is it true Hummers are the #1 vehicles to be ticketed by the police?

I have to say I believe it, but not for the reasons they give. The only speeding tickets I have gotten in the past number of years have been in the H1 and it isn't my daily driver. This one time was really a bunch of bull. I was in the right lane going probably right under 50 in a 45 zone. The police sit in a certain spot all the time right around a sweeping turn going into a long straight bit of road. I was packed in a bunch of cars one right in front of me a bit and 2 off to the side in the left lane.

Got up to the police and he stepped out flagging down the pack of cars around me, waved the ones around me through and pointed to the side of the road for me. He was a real jerkwad, he showed me his radar and I had to double take, said I was going 64 mph. If you have ever rode in an H1 you will know it strains to go 65 mph on the express way, but this was a 45 speed limit. I asked him if he would like to hop in and see if we could go 64 mph there as there was no way I was going that fast. Needless to say I ended up with a fat ticket. Theres been other times as well, but that one really pushed my buttons. I guess Hummers stick out and get their radar dot more than others.
