I've been driving for 13 years, and have had the following violations so far:
4 $150 speeding tickets (Most of them doing 80+ on an 55/65 highway. Radar detectors are useless at that speed!)
1 $100 Wrong Way on a One Way (It was pouring, didn't see the sign)
1 $100 Expired Inspection Sticker (I had just moved, and didn't get a chance to change it yet)
1 $25 No Seat Belt Infraction (OK, that one was just stupid

)
Most of them were out of state tickets, so my record is clean and my insurance is still cheap. WooHoo!
