two 80 in a 55 mph tickets in the same week

I've got 12 points on my license so far. Been suspended for 30 days already once, if I get any more points it's 1 year. After those points I got one careless driving where the cop was actually wrong and I beat it talking to the prosecuter. Then I got a ticket for CDS in a motor vehicle and after I get a trial for that I should have a suspended license for the next 2 years. Last week though I got pulled over for not having an inspection sticker and having the wrong insurance card. Turns out noone in my family had the right insurance card, we were a mess and I was the lucky one who got pulled over.

Eddie got a speeding ticket 187 in a 45 (Yes 187) driving a an extremely hopped up Mazda RX7. Fun part about the story is that he thought it was a buddy of his that was parked at the end of the stretch in his county sherifs car and was blowing past him to see just how fast the car would hit on the radar, it was a little game they played all the time... But this time it was a different guy... LOL Eddie Hit the brakes as soon as he passed and pulled over to wait for his friend, he was to say the least a little shocked when someone else got out of the cop car! The cop was pretty cool about it, Said he didn't even know what kind of car had passed him, all he saw was a grey blur. He followed Eddie home and let him park the car in the garage, then pulled his drivers license for 3 months and gave hime a 100 dollar ticket. It was not like eddie could say "Oh, I thought you where a friend of mine."

Whoo! Those rotary engines do magic!

oh yea, and pulled over by the same state trooper each time, he wasnt really happy the 2nd time.

Eddie said, "Yup, with after market twin turbo they where pretty sweet"

Inattentive driving when I was 15. I ran into a phone poll head-on at about 40 miles per hour and they didn't believe my story that a deer ran out in front of me and I had to swerve to miss it .

I also got an "exhibition of acceleration" ticket. The worst part about that one was my Mom drove by while the cop had me stopped so there was no way I could pretend it never happened.

PK, what kind of car did you end up getting him? I know he wanted a Grand National for a while. PLEASE tell me this wasn't a Grand National?

Speeding Relative to Conditions.

I had a jacked up jeep with the whole shabang. Real nice rig. Decided it would be cool to go out in the snow and tear around town while others were in the ditches and such.

Cops thought it would be best I stopped.

Just speeding tickets for me, but a lot of them.

In GA, if you're under 21 and get a ticket for more than 21 over the speed limit, it's an automatic suspension of your license. My son got one and I got an attorney and pleaded it down, but *I* didn't let him drive for 3 months, made him pay the attorney AND pay what the fine WOULD have been ($300).

He STILL got caught speeding again. The next time, he loses his license if it's before he turns 21 (9 months). And he has to pay the deductible for totalling my truck a few months ago and pay whatever the increase is. Now you know I'm happy he wants to join the AF. :winkwink:

Nancy - you WILD woman, lol! :1orglaugh

Misdemeanor manslaughter in a fuckered up traffic accident. Whole issue was one giant clusterfuck. From the ambulance drivers forgetting to refill their gloves in the bus and having to borrow some from the fire engines, to the helicopter landing in a pool of vaporous gas in the street (thankfully no static dishcharge). Civilians pulling people out of the cars all though nobody was in direct danger until the chopper landed.

Lets see we had.

Chopper landing in pool of gas.
Ambulance has no rubber gloves.
Fire department gets a flat tire.
Police setting up flare in high wind situation, again spreading gas pool.
Civilians pulling people from a car that are in no danger, people have neck injuries.
One car has two children in it, one of which is in a car seat in the front seat facing foward (stupid eh?), and other child in rear seat with no car seat. Child in front seat dies :( This child was being babysat by driver, was just placed with guardians 1 day before.

I was rear ended at a dangerous highway intersection (no lights) while in the turn lane. Got pushed into on coming traffic. Was driving a solid steal car, same model car collided with me head on doing 65-70 or so (no skid marks so cant tell). Car impacted on my right front corner center with the logo on their car. My passenger hit his head hard on the piece of metal that seperates the wind shield and the passenger door, got amnesia.

Well the person who rear ended me fled scene. Witnesses all saw different things, ect. My passenger could not remember anything from 2 days before until 8 hours afterwards. Guardian of child that died had a lawsuit going that same day.

Someone had to get fucked, finger got pointed at me. I pled it down to failure to yield the right of way. Insurance covered it all including the suit ect. Cost of that accident made insurance company force my parents to remove me from their policy and both of them and myself had to sign papers saying I would never drive any vehicle insured by that company again.

It was a very, very depressing time and incident.

50 traffic violations

I think I have seen this on the show "america's dumbest drivers".

failure to yield for a Stop sign. I had to pay the ticket and my insurance sky rocketed. damn. wish it was more exciting.

They LOVE to blame "new" drivers. I got blamed when some bitch on a cell phone who wasn't paying attention rammed into the side of my brand new (had it for six days) car.

That was convienent huh? I got mine and had the fines, the schools and the jacked the fuck up insurance and probation....

I haven't done it really since. I have my girlfriend with me or I don't drink in public at all. :Oh crap

2 hit and runs, a couple few duis and a driving on the wrong side of the road while avoiding the police in a stolen auto

Got a speeding ticket when I was in college, 7 years ago.

Other than that, no other tickets. No accidents, nothing. No DUI's, no driving without license.

Nada.

Im the best driver in LA thats for sure.

:winkwink:

Never had any real serious offences, I think the worst was doing like 95 in a 50 zone (km/h). Nothing too bad really...

Wa State puts the screws to you big time. Daughter in a car accident 2 years ago. Never even had a parking ticket or and driving offences ever. No one else was involved in the accident. To make a long story short. Reckless driving means losing your license for a year, attending classes for a year, even if no drinking was involved, filing sr22 for insurance, outrageous insurance rates. So far to date it has cost her about 15k and it is not over yet. Affects your driving record for 3 years.

Ive got a Failure to Yield Right of Way Resulting in Collision and an 86 in a 55 on I595 in FL. Guess I'm not doing as bad as some of the previous posters.

Only time I've ever been pulled over was for driving a car 2 years past inspection. Other then that never had a speeding ticket or anything in 14 or so years of driving.

I had two accidents in one week.

First one, I went straight on a left turn only lane. I was OK, the two cars to my right kissed, and I was chased down. Police came, didn't give me a ticket.

That weekend, I ran a stop sign and had my car totalled.

I did't have driver license at that time, was using my roommate's temporary one, no picture. So he got 4 points on his record.

My record was clean, so I applied a car sales license. The first day at the job, I backed into a new PT cruiser and never showed up for work again.

I think I was the worst driver in LA.

Now I am driving w/o insurance, and I don't drive good. Avoid me when you see a blue Corolla, with left tail light broken, and a bumper sticker: "just visiting this planet".

In addition to that, I have 2 parking tickets. No speeding tickets, though, although I have been pulled over twice. Once in Phoenix, once in LA. With my innocent looking, and "clean" driving record, they let me go. :thumbsup

I've been pulled over twice... the first time I was just sitting at a red light and a cop pulls up beside me, sits there for like a minute then starts honking his horn and saying on the speaker "pull over". So I give him the thumbs up and when the light turns green I make a right hand turn and pull off on to the shoulder.

Cop asks for license and registration... at the same time 2 more cop cars pull up and now I'm thinking "wtf is going on?". Cop goes back to his car, 3 cops from the other cars are just standing around my car now... first cop comes back and is like "alright, you can go". Weirdest thing ever.

The second time I got pulled over I was driving from Vegas to Seattle, I'm on this highway in the middle of BFE, Nevada no cars around for miles in either direction, next thing you know, cop behind me with the lights on. So I pull over and the cop says "I clocked you going 75 in a 70". I just wanted to punch this guy for even wasting his time. But he ended up letting me go without a ticket.

Bunch of nearly-pulled-overs though, luckily Vegas cops are more fond of driving up beside you and honking when you are speeding.

This wasn't the collector car kid. This is my 19 year old. It was a 2001 Grand Am.. tricked out with nice rims and low pro tires with some kewl custome handpainted striping on it. Now he's in a 1997 Subaru Legacy LSi for a while. Least the stereo, apps, speakers and subs were salvagable from the Grand Am.

As for my collector car kid, he's starting with a 2001 Dodge Dakota SLT pickup. Changed out the canopy to a color matched hard tonneau. Will be getting a Snyper body kit, lower it about 2 inches, may chop the top, then air bags, rims and tires. Then there's the 15's, 12s , etc.. he's planning on putting in the bed.

I was driving alone with g1 licencse(i should have had a person with 4 years of experience in the front sit)
and went 89km/h in 50km/h
380 total fine

and i payed 250 to a lawyer and got it down to 90$ and 3 points on my record :(

101 MPH in a 65 - cost $700-800 and a 30 day suspended (but I got out of that with some quick thinking)

and you FBI guys can forget finding that, so don't bother trying :winkwink:
