Yea, I got 2 tickets and got my license suspended for a month. It kinda sucked because I'm still on my prov. license (I'm 18) and I had to get to work somehow. Had to whip out the old Magna bike.

Yeah I know. But I've been driving for 10 years and haven't been caught yet. So, I've done alright. I don't use a radar detector either.

I once got pulled over twice in one night, within a hour of each other by the same cop.

And then a few months later i was pulled over three times in two days.

I only have one ticket on my driving record, that's the 115 speeding ticket. I wasn't able to get off that easily,even though the cop wrote Grand Am instead of Grand Prix.

Really??? i thought this confution was only here in Mexico City.

Always ate parking lots, mechanics, even at the stealership they say: "is a grand am...right?" here at a BOSCH dealeship have the headlamp assembly with the tag "grand am headlights"

In Arizona anything over 25MPH over the limit its a Felony and an automatic arrest for reckless driving, then you have to deal with sherif Joe...

I've been getting tickets every two years. Just enough time for the points to go away, then they come right back.

As explaned to me by a retired Michigan state trooper, it doesnt matter how fast you're going over the limit. The only way for it to be "reckless driving" is if you appear to not be in control of your vehicle. (but this is in michigan obviously) You'll still get one hefty ticket, but it doesnt look quite as bad on your record.

I've had my share of tickets but I cant complain...all the tickets I got were pretty minor offenses...If I had ever gotten caught when I was really bending it they probably would have thrown me under the jail.

In Savannah, Ga, there is a no-pursuit law, with a grace of 10 mph over the limit. However, if you do 25 over, you gotta go talk to the Sheriff, anything over twice the limit is Attempted Suicide/Homicide. So, don't go 10 MPH in a 5 MPH parking lot. I kid you not.
Oh, why would anyone not wanna talk ol' Sheriff Joe? He's mah hero! 'Sides, I think I would look sexy in those pink shorts!
