Speeding Tickets?

**Kalei** · 02-06-2007, 01:41 PM

I was just wondering, how many people here have gotten at least one speeding ticket?

Just a random question in my brain from a little incident that happened today...I think you know what happened seeing as my question lol.

I have never gotten an actual ticket, but have gotten warnings several times in my life. If you get three written warnings in a year, it counts against your insurance, but I have never had more than one in a year.

I've never...knock on wood. I guess I still have lots of years for that. I've only had my licence for 6 years.

I haven't in over 30 years of driving, but I know I've been very lucky. I try never to be the only fast car on the freeway, that helps, and that's the only place that I speed. I drive only slighly over the limit in neighborhoods. And I've never gone over 85, has anyone else? Probably people who have driven on the open stretches of places like Nevada.

I've only been stopped a few times. I remember the first time well because I stupidly leapt out of the car right after stopping. Fortunately, I started babbling in a British accent so the cop knew the error was cultural. (I'd forgotten to put my new tabs on.)

Guilty! I got a speeding ticket when I was 19.

my biggest ticket was on the highway, i was going 86 in a 65 MPH zone. Oops!!

One in my life and it was a long time ago. I was going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. That guy was going to nail me and my red car, no matter what!

My husband (now ex-husband) was furious at me! Never could understand how he got so mad at me when he had gotten a speeding ticket before I did!

Three total in my life time. The last one was in 1997. I was 18 for the first ticket and 19 for the last.

First was for 70 in a 55.

Second was 50 in a 45.

Third was 30 in a 25. I was coasting downhill not riding the brake and the cop nailed me when I reached the bottom of the hill. Tried fighting it but lost.

I've been pulled over a few times since then for other things, but only given warnings.

Only had one speeding ticket & that was many years ago. I had just
gotten a Pontiac Firebird.

Couldn't help myself.

Not yet... But I certainly have deserved them a few times!! When you live in Japan and you have a rare chance at an open road you HAVE to take it. I think I got up to about 125kmh or so. That isn't even 80 mph but when the speed limit is 80kmh that is a pretty big deal
