I've had 3 speeding and about 4 more none point violations. One was 97 in a 55 my first next was 43 in a 25 at 3 am in the morning on a deserted road, grr that cop. Then it was 67 in a 45, I was passing a slower driver. And insurence has actually gone down. Not sure why either. Does anyone know why?

maybe you're a member of the coolest insurance company ever. I am very lucky because my agent is a family friend that has known me since I was born, and has known my parents for over 25 years, so my rates are super low

I have gotten 13 speeding tickets, but I haven't recieved any in the past 6 years. I got a couple non moving violations in my T/A about 2 months ago though. Windows were too dark, exhaust didn't exit out the back of the car (3" lanes TDs), and I had bald tires.

I have recieved 11 speeding tickets and 1 excessive acceleration. I turn 20 on the 21st. My insurance has not changed a cent. Actually it went down when I was in highschool due to good grades. Almost all of my tickets have not gone on my record. There are tons a different things you can do to get them off...

I've never been pulled over. I guess I've got a good eye for the reflecting cars and have become accustomed to what the police cars' headlights/tail lights look like.
Knock on wood!

Spazz: No that's not it. Either you don't speed much, there isn't very many cops per capita in Buford, Georgia, or you are just freakin lucky...I guess you could have a radar, but that doesn't always save you...

I have a whole zero... I'm 19. I've had a few close calls but generally I only run 5-10 over anyway unless it's a road I know really well and I never see cops around it.
I will say my closest call was when I was going 60 in a 35 and saw a cop coming around a turn just as I crested a hill and right after I saw him he was blocked by a barn so I got it down to 35 in a hurry.

I believe my count comes to 9 with one being following to closely and the rest speeding between 13 and 18 over. Let go by the cop on about 6 more. Only one on my record is the following too closely so my insurance has continued to go down. Hate the United State's slow speed limits but at least there are lots of ways to keep tickets off your record!

I've had 7 tix this year & beat em all w/ a defense provided by speedticketbeaters.com ...I will never pay another ticket ever gain....If u follow the defense provided, u will never lose
here's the link: http://speedticketbeaters.com/
I was very sceptical about this, but after I went the 1st time and made the cop look like retard ( I was nervous as hell) It has been easy as pie every time afterwards......I get pulled over now and don't even worry anymore
