with so many lady racers here...tell the truth now...

[Dancing Fire]

how many times you been hit with a speeding ticket? how much did it cost ya?

 

[strmrdr]

lol lets see em beat this one... 117 in a k-car wagon $0.00 knew the cop and he was freaking out that it would go that fast!

 

[jet2ks]

Once had a state patrolman pull me over and ask "Didn't I pull you over last week?"

Me: "Yes, sir"

Officer: "What did I give you last time, a warning or a ticket?"

Me: (looking for the falling sandbag) "A warning, sir."

Officer: "Well, I'm giving you another warning, but I think you've pushed your limit."

The same cop pulled me over twice in six days and gave me a warning both times. No speeding tickets, yet.

a few

. I took the stupid ticket classes and got off not paying.
I don't have the plates on the front of my car, messes up the look, ha ha!
So, I got pulled over one morning and after the bozo Mayberry cop pulled
me over, 2 other cops showed up. There I was standing next to my car,
looking like some criminal with 3 cop cars behind me. I didn't get a ticket,
just a warning to put my front plates back on. I didn't.

I'm always dodging a cop car because of those plates, ha ha!!

I think I''ve had two in 40 years of driving. Nothing spectacular.

I was pulled over in 1978 for doing 143mph on the (almost empty) Ventura Freeway at 3 a.m. I was racing a friend. No ticket because my passenger was a CHP that I was dating at the time

One ticket. I was going 4 miles over the limit (54 in a 50). 2 penalty points were received

I tend to get tickets for minor infractions more than major ones. I''ve had 3 in my driving career (14 or so years), however they''ve been for under 10 miles over the speed limit. Thank goodness I didn''t see any cops last weekend when I was hauling my @ss up to Vermont for my bridal shower. I did about 95 the entire way. I think they would have revoked my license on the spot had I gotten tagged. The good news is I made it to my shower on time

Please tell me is was a 911SC.

I had an 81 SC that I loved to pieces, but had to replace the motor around 114k miles with a 3.2 from the Carrera.

I''ve been pulled over 3 times, twice for speeding and once for running a red light. No tickets though, all warnings. The most embarrassing was running the red light as it was a bicycle cop that pulled me over. :p

 

[beau13]

I''m sure I''ve been pulled over about a dozen times...in town, never hit with a speeding ticket, a warning..a smile..

, and they have all been male officers.
A few I''ve known (friends, past co-workers..ex''s)

The only female officer I ever encountered was out of town, on the highway, and SHE gave me a ticket for $ 260 I think (years ago)

 

[Italiahaircolor]

I got in a lot of trouble with tickets a few years back

. It was very serious. However, none of the violation were major...maybe 20 over at most.

LOL! The ONLY time I''ve EVER been pulled over, it was by a female cop. I was only about 18 at the time, and she caught me doing 16 mph over the speed limit. In my defense, the speed limit dropped from 45 to 25 right in that area, and I didn''t see the sign! She even ASKED ME if I''d ever been pulled over before. I told her "no, ma''am," and I thought she was going to let me off with just a warning. But she didn''t! I got a ticket and it would have been about three points on my license if I hadn''t gone to court and begged the judge to let me off with no points (which he did). I just had to pay the fine, which was about $150 I think.

 

[musey]

I got my first speeding ticket (of two) 1 week after getting my license for going 39 in a 35 zone.


Yeah.

 

[risingsun]

I've only had to appear in court one time. That's all I'm going to say on the subject

 

[MonkeyPie]

I''ve only had three, and I went years between each. I went a long time before my first one, and it was just for running a stop sign that I totally didn''t see. The other was for 45 in a 40, and then 90 in a (gasp) 70. Hah.

My best times are when I DON''T get a ticket though. I once took my Crossfire down a rain-wet round exit going 65. Smokin''...literally! I was pretty much drifting.

 

[qtiekiki]

The one time I got a ticket speeding was back in HS for driving 30mph in a 25mph zone. I swore the cop in my town had nothing better to do.

 

[Snicklefritz]

Only one speeding ticket for me.

Hope to keep it that way for a long time to come.
