Speeding Tickets?

[ramanth]

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

One in Texas and one in NH.

wow, once again I will say that I am glad I'm not the only one, makes me feel better. I guess most people always gets at least one in their lifetime, but for those people that haven't yet, keep doing what you're doing to not get one, the tickets are money suckers lol.

Thanks everyone, your replies have all made me feel better I'm glad all of you were okay though and never got in accidents.

And I drive a Pontiac Sunfire GT, I know its not that great of a racecar or anything, but its a sportscar so I like using its power once and awhile but today I learned a lesson. I was driving through town later tonight and I was certainly going the speed limit. But most people I have talked to told me the fear of being caught again only lasts for a few months then you go back to speeding sometimes again lol.

Luckily I've never had one. I've been pulled over a few times, but just gotten a warning like Karen. I don't really speed that much though- I never speed in residential zones and the speed limit is 75 on the highway so there's really no need there.

In 35 yrs of driving, never. Did get stopped once though, was so nervous that I got off with the cop telling me I should go home and rest.
