First mazda, first hours, first ticket

[rdemattio]

Ahh, just bought my 2008 Mazda 3 today, I've been in training for the Air Force for 8 months now, first time I finally got to drive! Welp, to put this short, I did'nt stop when I made a right hand turn at a stop sign. FML. Security Forces wrote me a ticket, no fine, I just gotta go report to my commander and I get points on my license =[

[rdemattio]

How do you manage to get pulled over that many times? What do you do!? Rob banks!?

 

[infamouszoltan]

most are speeding but some that werent...
accident(not technically pulled over but i count it in cause i got a ticket)(NOT IN MY MAZDA!)
donuts in chevron parking lot(reckless driving warning)
Tinted tail lights
Purple headlights(bulb burned out on my HID so it was showing purple and not projecting)
i think the rest were speeding..... haha

 

[superdoughboy4]

Wow.
I haven't been pulled over since nearly 2 years.

 

[rdemattio]

Got pulled over doing after lighting up the back tires for about 50 feet when pulling out onto a main road, actually ran from the cop and hid behind a building, waited, pulled back out later and was instantly pulled over...only got a warning (I was 19 at the time in a new mustang year was 99)...got luckier than you think there.

Did get busted by a state trooper doing 81 in a 55, he wrote it for 80 so I wouldnt have to go to court..$177 ticket in 1999 which was a lot for me then...and went to the courthouse to pay it, guy at counter then says its only a 40 dollar ticket if you sign up for a session of traffic school...so 3 hours in school later I was pretty lucky...

Its been 11 years and no one has pulled me over since.

 

[rdemattio]

Wow! With my luck they would have shot me when I pulled out after running from the cops. Lol

I've taken defensive driving I wanna say 5 times, and have gotten I want to say seven tickets and have been pulled over I don't know how many times (maybe ten.) The first ticket was within the first two weeks of having my license lol. Thanks to defensive driving and deferred adjudication I have zero points on my license.

^^^^^ lucky my second ticket was doing 95 in 55.... he clocked me when i was slowing down after a race (other side of a hill, we used the hill to help slow down) yup and thats the only 2 tickets i got in +4years of driving... i think i got pulled over 20 some times give or take 2.... and all where with my old car haha

 

[infamouszoltan]

my last time i was pulled over i was doing 75 on the wrong side of the road racing a speed3. haha
i fed the cop an epic story, and he let me off with a warning! soooo lucky!!

 

[05Mazda3sp23]

nice haha i need to find more 2 lane roads so i dont gotta drive into oncoming traffic

I had already been driving for 30yrs when I brought the Mazda home in 2004. Sure, I had been pulled over a few times, but never got a ticket for speeding... until one Sunday morning on my way to the Home Center, just cruisin' along, not in any hurry, I was pulled over by 4 motorcycle cops. They said I was doing 76 in a 65 zone. I wasn't even aware of it. I couldn't argue cause I had no idea how fast I was going when they clocked me, but I probably was. It just felt so comfortable, so "normal" at that speed to just be cruisin', y'know?

My first, and so far last speeding ticket.
