How many years have you been driving and how many traffic tickets do you have so far?
And do you use radar detector?
 
Been driving 5 years.

Pulled over for speeding April 2000, 65 in a 45. Got an 'unsafe driving' ticket. Fine + 0 points.

Pulled over for speeding March 2001, 50 in a 35, in a national park. Got a speeding ticket from the park service. Fine + 0 points.

Pulled over for speeding April 2002, was doing 59 in a 50. Got a ticket for 80 in a 50. Went to court, said I was doing 59, not 80. Reduced to 9mph over. Fine + 2 points

Pulled over for speeding, February 2003, 91 in a 65. Verbal warning.

Took a defensive driving and CEVO (Certified Emergency Vehical Operater..I drive an ambulance) class...got rid of the 2 points and got 10% off my car insurance.

4 yrs. No radar detector (cops around here dont use radar or laser)

20mph over in Upstate NY
15mph over in FL
improper lane change in PA (SPEEDING WARNING.. i was going 100mph+)
16mph in north NJ.

I average 1 a year, never got a speeding ticket in the MP3, just a few warnings, i got the improper lane change on 95 going over 100mph. The state trooper was real nice :)

total= aaprox $700....:eek:

the NJ one was 212$ ******* jersey cops
 
2 tickets 12 years- one for 70 in a 55 and the other for 50 in a 35- since radar detector- 0 tickets (knock on wood) nothing on the new protege
 
4 years driving, 4 tickets, 2 actual, 2 other ones i took the classes. only one i can remember is my most recent, donig 81 in a 35. he gave me the highest civil ticket and threatened to give me a criminal ticket. heh.... he said i was clear for the driving class, so i took it the next week. very luck i was that i could take it again
 
8yrs and no tickets. ./me knocks on wooden leg

do parking tickets count? :p
 
No, parking tickets do not count.
I consider those as parking fee.

For myself,
5 years,

-1 Pull over and warning doing 71 on a 60 zone on my way back from Spokane, WA to Pullman WA., on my 1994 Corolla.

-1 ticket fail to yield when exiting from a gas station which ended up in a crash with my 1994 Corolla-----------$187 dollars from Issaquah, WA.

-1 speeding ticket with my Corolla doing 90 in 70 zone on I-90 before entering the town of Ellensburg, WA. $80 dollars. (There are always 2 patrol cars there 24-7 on I-90 near Ellensburg, WA monitoring both side of the highway. So don't speed whenever you get within 10 miles of Ellensburg on I-90. That 2 gay cops catch speeding for a living.)

-1 pull over and warning doing 65 in a 55 zone on 26 just pass Cofax, WA on my Protege5.

- 1 speeding ticket, $184 dollars. Did a 55 in 35 zone inside Pullman, WA on my Protege5.

No detector so far.


So, do you all agree that detector does lower your chance or even prevent you from getting tickets?
