I left home yesterday morning at 5am to start the nearly 2 hour drive to the testing center. Before I pulled out of my drive way, I set my iPod to listen to the Ninja Audio all the way. I made it to this little speed trap of a town 15 minutes from home and I got pulled over. I have never gotten an actual ticket in my life. I have enough warning tickets to wall paper the White House, but no actual tickets. I wasn’t speeding this time! Barney Fife comes over and tells me that he stopped me for loud music! WTH! I was listening to the Gov section of the Ninja Audio! The guy was so desperate to write a ticket that he said he could “hear the bass”. I pointed out to him and let him listen to what I was listening to and he argued with me! Thankfully a car drove by with the music so loud it shook the windows in my car and the cop had to let me go. So if any of you are driving down the road, listening to your FAR Ninja audio on the way to the testing center, be careful of the volume because somehow Jeff’s voice can sound like a bass to the wrong cop! I’m laughing about it now but I was pissed at the time. But all in all, the really crappy stuff happened before the exam and I feel good about FAR for the first time ever. Jeff, those little memory tricks are GOLD!!! Once again your voice in my head saved me from a wrong answer.

It's kind of funny that when Jeff says, “Do not let the examiners trip you up on that point,” that point is on the exam!

That did give me a laugh…but I still can't believe one can be pulled over for having their music too loud….isn't there more important things that they should be tending to rather than music too loud????

One thing I like with the NINJA audio is when Jeff says, okay…stay with me here. When he says that I am usually about to start spacing off as he is getting into some hard to grasp over audio concept so when he says it is always perfect timing and I shake it off and stay focused. 🙂

Is it just me or does jeff say the word “measure” a little funny? Must be the accent…lol!

Also i listen to the audio from my iphone with my headphones, is it legal to drive while having headphones on?

I once did get a ticket onto the way to Prometric. The officer said I was speeding, which I guess I could have, I wasn't paying attention since I was on the way to sit for Audit (my beast). But I told the lady officer where I was headed to and she said “oh, I see where your mind was”. After looking at my history she lowered the ticket to the minimum as said good luck. I laughed about it all the way to Prometric. Needless to say I still failed Audit that time.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
