Have you ever gotten a ticket of any kind?

I've gotten speeding tickets, a parking ticket and tickets for my registration being expired. I've never had points taken off. I've always just paid and moved on from there.

Never had a speeding ticket, had 1 moving violation from an accident I was involved in, and had three parking tickets.

From the accident, I was going around a corner, saw some really pretty motorcycles and got distracted for a second, looked back at the road and only had enough time to say "Oh s&#!" before I hit a truck that was stopped to turn onto another road. They gave me a ticket for 'following too closely'...yeah no kidding buddy! I wasn't following him, I just turned the corner and hit him.

The three parking tickets I could have fought I suppose. One, I was at a parade at the club strip in Tampa, and I parked in a parallel parking space in front of a house. The other side of the road said No Parking, but...this side didn't. There went $30.

Another, I was at college, and I had taken my parking hanger off for some reason...and forgot. I got two warnings because I didn't come back to my car that day at all, and I guess they saw it twice? So when I left, came back, parked again...and forgot to put it up there again. I got a ticket that time. And then again at college, I had moved out but still had my parking hanger and I was visiting a friend, I didn't even think about it and came back and I had another ticket. Geesh.

I've had one parking ticket for parking beside a yellow line and not in a parking space, and I was pulled over for speeding and warned and not ticketed ( I had my dad's old '83 ciera which couldn't go over 40 on a good day!). My dad got an unusual warning. He had just gotten a new windshield and they cut out the inspection sticker part off of the old one and put on the dash. He was pulled over for not having the stickers stuck on the new windshield! He somehow got them sticking on the new one.

well after reading all of your replies i think it best not to divulge too much info on my driving history, but i will say that i have had quite a few tickets ( 30+) but now i save the drag racing for the track and try to be more carefull around the police, lol.

anyway, take my advise and get a lawyer, they will just reduce it to a faulty equipment and pay a fine, no points or traffic school.

at one point i was getting so many tickets that i stopped going to my lawyers office and just mailed them to him with a check and he would take care of them, i still don;t have any points on my license.
