I've only dealt with Airforce and Navy bases. Years past you'd just rack up points on base no fines and your state and insurance weren't notified. Then they changed things and now they report to the state so your record starts taking hits.

I've had a few shipmates get their base driving priviledges yanked for multiple violations.

on-post violations are NOT reported to insurance or LEAs, but you do hafta pay a Federal Magistrate Court, and you can lose on-post driving priviliges if you rack up enough violations. It's been like that ever since 1998.

No I am no Captain. I just got Specialist last week. This Banner on my signature was made from a game rank (America's Army) This banner does not portray my personal life.


@Acefighter, I just read your post (I was doing a field problem for a few days, no computer. I apologize) He is correct to the fact while I speed for the rush. And just to clear something up, I NEVER said I LIKED to get shot at, I said it happens in my line of work. Infantry are the ones that kick down their doors and fire at and get fired at by the enemy weapon wielders inside. And for everyone that thinks it is a horrible excuse to drive fast, I apologize, but truth be told,that is all I can think of that would be the reason behind it.

I am the guy in the Army that doesn't smoke, dip, chew, do drugs, or drink. I don't like any of that stuff, makes me sick to my stomach, but I like to drive fast. I wonder if that is the reason I like it and no the other things, for the fact that I may be addicted to driving fast. (Can you get addicted to that?)

And Rick, they do tell us every weekend to drive safe etc, but you should know not everyone follows every one of those rules. We also say don't drink and drive, and every week there is some stupid soldier that has to test that.

EDIT First off, where did I once state that I was a Captain. My sig is from a game, so before you guys get off topic and start judging my personal life and trying to claim me dishonest, why don't you just ask.

Also, there is no such thing as a point structure on an Army post that I have ever heard of. You get a ticket, pay it off, and that is it. If you were going over 22mhp over the speed limit you get your license suspended on post for 90 days. I still have my most recent ticket for my records. And there, yet again, before accusing me, you guys should just ask.


And just so everyone knows, I am getting a brand new "Escort Passport 9500i Radar Laser Detector with GPS" even though it might prove useless since I may volunteer to deploy with a unit that is leaving over there in 2-3 months. In Iraq you practically make double than over here, and over there, there is no speed limit lol so no speeding tickets. I have never got any soldiers hurt over there in combat while driving so incase you guys thought I drive like a mad man in a military vehicle, before i get accused of it, I wanted to say that now.

Like I said you wanna go fast take it to the track.

What do you think your unit commander would think about your attitude towards vehicle safety?

I agree with Hercman. Take it at track if you want to go fast.

Since you said that you speed for rush then try leaving 10-15 minutes early than your habit time of leaving. It is really work for me so you can driving speed limit. I took that advice from my local cop. I used be speed freak before. I'm sure you will change your speeding habit like I did.

If you can't do that then you have a problem.

When you say leave 15 minutes early you are assuming I speed because I need to get somewhere and am running late?

I hate radar detectors. Go with Valentine if you get one. Most people rely on it too much. Plus some turn the sound off cause its annoying, and then get a ticket because they were use to the sound going off to alarm them of radar.
And Laser is soo fast, you won't have time to slow down.
My .02 and $412 fine to prove.

That 9500 he's looking at has GPS integrated so it "learns" all the false signals and ignores those.

ive had a few radars before and have been without one for a year now,and honestly there a waist of time and money.
there times when i go fast and i do it 1)on back roads or 2) with no traffic but its not every day i do that either.
also whats the point of speeding around town?its not like going 45 in a 30 is a big rush ya know?or even goin 90 in a 75...whooo hooo big baller!!!
to me anything over 120 is kinda cool but how in the heck can a radar and YOU react fast enough to slow down?i mean seriously come on!!
i do between 5-9 over on the interstate and pass cars with radars that do the limit....
unless your getting a full jammer setup then just slow your roll man.
