Speeding Tickets?

[critter crazy]

Nope ~ Not yet ~ Of course, I've probably just jinxed myself!

you know, I had once told a friend, after he had hit a deer with his car, that I had never done that, and as luck would have it the very next day, I hit a deer! So yeah, you Jinxed yourself!!

I haven't yet, but that's not to say I haven't deserved one! The speedometer on my car only goes up to 100, so I can't say what the fatest I've driven is.

My boyfriend once got a ticket going 107 in a 65. He lost his license for awhile. He's also taken me up to 140 on the bike.

I've never had one...but then again I've only been driving for about 2 years.

One bit of advice when pulled over for speeding............

Never, EVER tell the officer "No, officer, I don't know how fast I was going, the speedo only goes up to 85"

[Freckles]

NEVER!

I've gotten 4 --

1. One because i was driving fast, and got busted -- knocked down to 14km over from 40km over -- i was like 18 at the time

2&3. I was in a line of cars all going the same speed, and we all got pulled over in a random cash grab speed trap long weekend (2 different weekends). One was for 8 over, and one was 17 over -- the officers walked down the line of cars, collected info, processed tickets, and returned info without -any-talking at all. talk about stupid.

4. A speed trap near my home when I was late for work. I was driving with an expired sticker on my plates, my insurance and license addresses didn't match my ownership address (i'd just moved), and i was doing 30km over hte speed limit. The nice officer looked down my top, and let me off with a warning and knocked it down to 14km over (no demerits).

[GreyhoundGirl]

Nope !!! *grins slyly*

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.

[Kalei]

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.

[mike001]

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.
