*crosses fingers*

 

[MacGaven]

Do parking tickets count?

8 months for parking ticket and I have never received any other ticket.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

I got my first warning 30 minutes after I got home with my shiny new drivers license. Cop thought it was hilarious that I hadn't even been a licensed driver for an hour and let me go.

Got my first ticket about 6 months after that.

 

[Spoooon]

I went about a year before my first ticket. But I haven't had a ticket in about 5 years now. I don't think my dad has received a ticket of any kind since the sixties.

 

[axia55]

Almost three years

 

[nativesunshine]

2 years...exactly. =(

17 when I started driving (stupid nj law)

Exactly two years to the day when I got my first ticket. Yea...on MY BIRTHDAY! Boo sucky state troopers.

 

[IBuyUFO]

about 11 years!

 

[gopunk]

still haven't gotten one! *knocks on wood* been driving for 2-3 years

 

[Dudd]

I've gone nearly 9 months without getting a ticket. Did get into one minor accident though during my first time in a snow/sleet/ice mix .

 

[Evadman]

my first ticket was 8/30/'96. I was born in 80. so that would be about what, 7 months? I have it framed with the temporary tag that they make ya put on your car while you are waiting for plates. I got the tag 2 days before. so technicly, 2 days.

Incidently, it was for taking a right hand corner at 71 MPH from my street onto a 4 lane road. the view is blocked, and you nearly have to pull out into the intersection to see. oh, and I was driving my '86 GMC Jimmy s-15 with the 2.8L v-6 that could barely break 65 with a tailwind.

Did you point that out to them?

 

[atom]

4 years to get a ticket for an expired meter. No moving violations since I started driving.

 

[NutBucket]

Been pulled over once and let off w/ a warning. That was maybe a year after I started driving. I'll be going on three years ticket (moving violations anyway) free in July. I've gotten 2 parking tickets, one fix-it for no front plate and one for expired tags. Also was in my first real accident last Friday but luckily I'm not at fault

 

[dugweb]

i got pulled over going 80 in a 50... didnt have my licencse, my registration or my insurance on me... to top it off i wasnt wearing my seat belt. the cop didnt even give me a warning

 

[StageLeft]

25 been driving 9 years. Got a warning when I was 16 and still have not gotten a ticket. I do speed a lot but I am careful about where I do it (I wasn't when I was 16-18 though). I like to be part of a greater group and I always have my eye out for cops and certain spots I know about that are bad I will not speed significantly in.

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Been pulled over once for 8 over. It was near a school in a residential area. Cop just gave me a friendly warning.

Had a couple close calls though - once I got pissed that this truck was going real slow in front of me so I hauled it around him - was doing at least 65 in a 45 when I saw a cop up ahead parked in the median - slammed on my brakes - I know he had to have got me on radar and when I looked in my rearview his brake lights were on as if he had just started the car but he never came after me. (This was in Plano, notorious for anal-retentive cops)

 

[Feldenak]

11 years and counting.

 

[Ryan]

I've never gotten a ticket, nor have I ever been pulled over. I'm almost 19, started driving the day I turned 16.

 

[Anubis]

like 2 years

 

[MartyMcFly3]

I am 19, never received a ticket, and i started driving when i was 16.
