How many tickets for traffic violations have you had?
- Thread starter Aunty Em
- Start date
When I was 16 I got a ticket for Excessive Noise, no muffler on my 74 Chevy with a 454, it sounded BAD. No tickets for a few years, in '98 I got a ticket for following too closely when I popped over a hill and rear ended another car that was stopped in the middle of the street. I told the cop then, that I kinda felt that following too closely implies that I didn't hit her, he didn't find it very funny. That's it for tickets for me. I've had probably 20 warnings.

Too cute for words
135 in a 55 not bad enough for you? Okay, how about drunk and disorderly? Inciting a riot (that one was a put up job)? Contempt of court (at the inciting a riot hearing)?Aunty Em said:
Please note that I was only convicted of the 135 in a 55 charge. They just make you sleep off the drunk and disordery, and the judge would have thrown out the inciting a riot but for the comtempt (what can I say, I had nothing but contempt for him and his court). You should probably also note that these are only those things I was arrested for. There were perhaps other possible offenses that went unnoticed.

no warnings, no tickets, no speedgun flashes that never made it to the house. nuffink.
i can consider myself lucky given the number of people in my office who have been done for speeding on the same stretch of road i drive every day, at the same speeds they do. at the moment i am on best behaviour, i don't want the points.

Aunty Em said:Well... tell the truth now!
I have been riding and driving for 26 years and can truthfully say I have NEVER had a ticket.
Ya mean like in the past 3 years?
If yer talkin' a grand total from all the years one's driven, an' I assume a low number is concidered a "good" score, I put myself in the 20-50 category, which, for 21 years of OTR behind-the-wheel type experience, I thought was pretty good, (considerin' the way I drive)
BTW Aunty, how does one go about, 'risking' a ticket by merely ridin'?
At any rate I'd hate for someone to hand me a tally of the number of times I've DESERVED a ticket in all this time!!!

i cant remember how many times i've been stopped. been ticketed in the 10-20 range. defeated about 8 in court. i get stopped once or twice a year.
when i had my mustang, i got stopped 3 times in 1 month when it was new. in the same intersection. twice because the cop wanted to check the car out. they did a walk around and looked inside then just said "slow it down" and got back in the cruiser and took off.

I got a ticket for 77 in a 55 zone on the night before Thanksgiving 1999. My wife got two tickets in a span of about a week at the end of March. I'm taking the rap for the $290 red-light ticket, though, since it got issued in my name (red-light camera), so that I can take traffic school for that and she can take traffic school for her $340 92 in a 65 zone ticket.

It is, one of my younger cousins did it a few months ago and barely passed the hazard but got 35/35 for the multiple choices, he got something like 43/70 and 40 was the pass mark.
