how many tickets:

Wow, some of you people need to slow the **** down. There's no reason to EVER hit 100+ on a public road and I don't give a flying **** how "abandoned" the road is.


i've run 100+ MANY, MANY times on the back roads around texas. i don't understand your great concern. but then again, some of the other things i've done to get speed jollies would probably blow your mind.

sure, there is no reason for it... it's just FUN.


my worst year ever for tickets was the one i built my first chevy luv with a V8... i ran without the hood on it sometimes (yeah...i know)... it looked good but that thing was a ticket sponge. i think i was 21...

i got 13 tickets in 12 months, (granted, two of them were my nova)... in, and around the houston area for things as varied as speeding, exhibition of speed (that was a dumb one), tags or inspection expired, loud stereo...

i thought i was on the black list or something.. i didn't drive all that crazy or fast (well except for the burnout one... i totally deserved that one)... but that thing really stuck out, and with the duals and flowmasters, it was loud.. and it was a never fail thing... if a cop saw me, and could get behind me, i was getting pulled over...

i did manage to get(weasel) out of almost all of them... either hustling to get current, or working the system to get out of it... back then if the LEO didn't show up, you got out of the citation....

a lawyer took care of one for me... but that burnout one... i had to pay that one.. it just didn't feel right trying to fight that one... :)


hard to believe that was 20 years ago...

4 tickets lifetime. (37 years old) All in/around Tampa, FL suburbs unless noted:

1- 1988, speeding, 53 in a 35. Busted. (1973 Chevy Malibu Chevelle)
1a- 1989, stopped for running stop sign. Bogus & the cop knew it, let me go. (same Chevelle)
2- 1992-93, speeding, 72 in a 55. Lame, but busted, JAX sucks. (1990 Isuzu 4WD Pickup)
2a- 1999, stopped for speeding, 60 in a 45 (I thought it was 55). Got a warning! (built 1990 Supra Turbo)
3- 2002, running red light. BOGUS, never happened, but cheaper & easier to take the class. (2001 VW Golf GLS 1.8 Turbo)
4- 2008, August 22, speeding. Ironically, the one spot in a 3k+ mile road trip where I turned off cruise & gunned it to help unsnarl interstate traffic in SC. I topped out at 105-110mph, cop clocked me at 84mph, wrote me for 79mph in 70mph zone, which saved me $140 in extra fines. (Total $81.50) Figured since I was ticketed for 25-30mph less than actual top speed, that was a gift & paid it. Helluva way to start a vacation, though. (2005 MINI Cooper S, many mods)

Got the Speed3 on September 24 of 2008. Hoping my record of only getting pulled over once every few years will hold up & maybe the Speed3 will never suffer that indignity.

mello yello
In the last 35 years I have seen the lights a couple times, wink,
one of the main reasons I got my ms3 was getting pulled for crap reasons by HCSO and temple terrace over crap like dim licsence plate lights in my old car, a highly modified corolla. I guess they enjoy ******* with ricers more than rednecks with 38inch high bumper death trucks the puzzled look from the LEO when they realize i'm 50 is nice but they still write

second day I had the MS3 I was at a light and a LEO pulled up next to me, he looked ahead, checked his computer, looked ahead, fiddled with his radio, looked ahead and rolled out when the light changed. NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT ME !!!!

I'm lovin it

If only it steered like the rolla, but that iss not a fair comparison
 
Two in one day, about 15 minutes apart actually, blazing to the house to take a s***. Hard to not get noticed in The Pumpkin...

I don't know how many total I have in ~26 years driving, maybe 4 or 5.

I have zero tickets with my 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 and my $399 Valentine One radar/laser detector and I drive it like I stole it.

Get a $399 Valentine One for radar/laser detection.

If you spend about $1100 up front for protection and you don't drive so badly that people call in to report you, you will be ticket free for many years. All of that money you spent up front will pay for itself in lower insurance rates, less time spent in court, less money spent on lawyers, less money spent in driving classes, etc.

Boy that musta sucked. Having to sit through 2 citations, the question on all our minds is....so did you s*** your pants then?

:D

As for the original question - 2 speeding tickets all my life. None so far in the MS3 but I did get pulled over for speeding the first month I had it - got off with a warning though (nice, young lady cop!). I've fared pretty well, been pulled over 4 times for speeding but only gotten tickets twice!
