I've had 3 to my name, all in the UK ..... 1st when 18 speeding, 2nd damn speed camera and 3rd for my father speeding (by camera), but I took the ticket as I was returning to the US that week. Dad called Police and said I was driving but now in US with US drivers licence and they ripped up the ticket:)

30+ years of driving. No tickets since 1985. Before that, I had too many to remember. I kept them (and the letters from DMV) in a shoe box. I guess I have mellowed out with age.

Since I've owned my Carrera (4.5 years) only one.

But I made it a good one. 110+ mph in a 65 mph. (and I was slowing down from about 137 mph )

Saturday evening on Hwy 280 from San Jose to Redwood City all alone on the road. Well, just me and a CHP ;-)!

He was pissed, but could only site me and send me on my way.

Cost me a mandatory court appearance and $201 fine.

I sure was moving!!!

The weird this in that a year and a half later, no point on my record. At least not yet.


(knocking wood)

Knock on wood I haven't had a ticket since 1999 or 2000! The white Audi I drive now is more of a sleeper...plus I have a V-1. Last pullover was while towing a trailer down a grade, 69-70 in a 55 trailer limit, but got my first and only warning in my life.

In my younger and dumber days I got several for 29mph over, no-turn signs and crap like that. Always went to traffic school so my insurance is squeaky clean.
