Yea, what he said. These guys have families and such like we do. It's only their profession we might hate (until your cornered by a couple of thugs and one comes walking by). It's like in the old`en day Hang-men. Everybody boo'ed these black hooded axe welding guys and it's a tough job but somebody has to do it.

Ive been pulled over more times than **** has hit a wall. Ive talked my way out of 1 speeding (93 in a 25 driving a ford probe 
on Thanksgiving, visiting VA) and 1 stop sign ticket, ditched 3 cops (wont do that again soon) received 9 speeding tickets in the last 6 years, 7 fix it tickets and 1 for wreakless acceleration , it was a good story, expensive though. Insurance has gone up alot! I havent had anything for the last 20 months, so things are looking up 
My license frame says 'Hello officer, just put it on my" tab. Good times

...most of mine were for tints, loud exhuast, parking, no inspection, failure to exhibit documents, improper use of highbeams, etc. The out of state speeding tickets were like 20mph over, but when they transfered to NJ, they are only 2 points, and they were like one every 2 years, so it wasnt too bad. Most point i had on my lisence at one time were 2. One time i got pulled over for 127 in a 55 and got a written warning and a no point ticket for illegal use of HOV lane haha.

Lead Foot? License in 1994.
1. 1996 - 35 in a 20 (school zone started @ 3pm, I went thought it at 3:00 and 59 seconds), defensive driving.
2. 1998 - 80 in a 60 (on 360 going south, showing off in my Saturn for my g/f), $80 fine, showed up at Arlington town hall within two days and paid it....gone.
3. 1998 - 75 in a 60 going east on 20 out in West Texas at 11pm at night (damn DPS), mailed the $160 ticket in.
4. 2005 - 60 in a 50 (construction zone JUST started), no workers present. Paid $185 fine, pled guilty, 90 day probation, no tickets in Tarrant County, so it's gone!!
Now, managed to talk my way out of one two months ago when my battery died in my Z and had to take my wife to work in the Saturn, going 60 in a 40, let us go, I think it's because my license was still registered in the town that the cop graduated in, lucky huh?
Second ticket that I talked my way out of (but not really), I had shipped my Saturn back from England where I lived for 4 years in the miliary and still have my British plates on the car, got pulled over for a 55 in a 45, I think he was impressed that I had ALL documentation of the car being back in the united states. He let us go, probably helps to have three kids in the back???
I got the Z in May this year, and really surprised that I haven't gotten a ticket or carted off to jail for reckless driving/speed yet!!! I've been known to play cat and mouse with new GT mustangs in rush hour traffic on 20 at 5:30am!!

Well after being good for eleven years, two years ago a OH cop said he got me with that bs roaming radar at 43 in a 25, which was garbage, I was in a 35mph speed zone and we were bumper to bumper traffic, I fought the ticket and ended up with a no points and 100.00 fine at 30 in a 25. Before that I've had to many to count. Very few of them in my 81Camaro, only two, redlight and 45 in a 35 the rest were in other peoples cars.

I got pulled over for 79 in a 70 on I-95 in my 98 Monte Carlo. That was total BS because you'll get driven off the road here in Fl if you aren't going almost 80.
Got pulled over in the GTO for "careless driving/racing on street", mind you I was making a U-turn on Rt. 1 at 1am with zero cars on the road. I had just broken the engine in and this was the first time that I really got on it. I got up to 60 then stopped (50 mph limit). Got pulled over, lectured, given ticket, and removed ticket with traffic school.

Well lets see.....a couple months ago I got an 8 point speeding/careless driving ticket, on my birthday in May I got a 6 point speeding ticket. In 2004 I got a 12 point speed contest ticket and before that I got three or four speeding tickets.
I don't even drive fast very often, it just so happens that when I do.....I get caught.

Just 1. 74 in a 50. The cop was really cool. I had just creasted a hill, put her in a lower gear and coasted. Came around a turn and there he was. I shook my head, looked in the rear view, and here he comes. I told him that I wasn't fooling around. I just didn't want to warp my rotors. He wrote me up for70+ which alowed me to attend traffic school. He told me anything 20 over, and you wont qualify for school. Also I have no front plate, cats, or muffler. All of which he over looked 
. I think it's all in your attitued, or lack of

ive had over 20 speeding tickets.. and then there's misc ones like careless operation and other misc ones.... never any accidents, never reckless... never too fast for conditions, never unsafe driving... all were just me, on a sunny day, within the limits of my ability, my vehicles ability, and the environment... but it was higher then that little painted number on the side of the road. lol.
if they were all in one state, i wouldnt have a license...
i only have two left on my insurance driving record at the moment.. one should drop off soon... the other has 2 years left on there.
