o      In a June 24, 2005, response to a thread on the website SportBike World, Josh Hicks (posting under the name sindic) wrote, “Bah, I’m off and rambling now, and I’ve pretty much forgotten my point. My advice is to be polite to the officer if you are pulled over. A little politeness on a hot day when I’m having to work traffic (which I don’t like to do) will get you out of a ticket 100% of the time, unless you are drunk. Hope this helps and doesn’t start a big flamewar. (Remember that these are my opinions and not representative of any other officers, departments, offices anywhere.)”[1]
