First time, the cop said I was on the phone... which is BS because the cell is hooked up with blue tooth in the car. Last night we are going to a Christmas party and I get pulled over in NY state for "moving from right lane into the left and back". When I explained to the officer that there were 3 deer standing along the right side of the road, he admitted that he saw them, but wrote a summons anyway.

Is it me, or does this car attract cops?
...yep, it's a fact -- M3=Magnet.

I've been stopped four times in less than a year:
  • a 'warning' for 11 mph over on an empty highway.
  • twice for no front plate
  • not moving over for a stopped trooper ticketing someone else.

That's why I decided to go with the 9500ix...a little help please!
