In 9 years not a thing other than a warning for speeding when I was 16. I consider myself driving on borrowed time for all the speeding and reckless things I've done (mostly when I was younger).
 
2 in ~3 1/2 years of driving...

First was a ticket for not seeing a temporary "no left turn" sign in an area undergoing construction, that I'd been driving through for a couple years...stopped, w/ my blinker on, looked right at the cop car, turned left...figured he was there for speeders or something. Probably wouldn't have been a ticket except that I'd switched insurance providers recently, and forgot to grab my new card.

Second was 70 in a 55 zone, that I definitely deserved. He was dead set on sending me to traffic school for it, and I certainly wasn't arguing. Thanked him for the ticket when he handed it to me, too.
 
two

1982 - i was in an accident, fell asleep driving, the ticket was for "failure to use caution" or something like that

1984 - speeding ticket, 55 in a 45 or something like that
 
1 for running a yellow light. (YES, it was yellow and NOT red).
I took defensive driving course to wipe it off my record.
Been driving for 6 years now.
 
Driving for 8 years and I've never even been pulled over. I think I've just been lucky so far, I drive pretty aggressively (not like a madman or anything though) and there have been many times when I could have easily gotten a ticket.

I didn't think that was illegal..in some cases, it's impossible to avoid going through a yellow..that's what they're there for -- lol
 
If you only get pulled over once, but get cited for several things at the same time, how many tickets does that count as?
 
1. 60 in a 50 km/h (reduced on the spot from 72 in a 50) = $40
2. Follow too closely = $110 + 4 points (reduced from Careless Driving = $325 + 6 points)



ironically i deliver pizza and neither of these came about while delivering. :|
 
I have been driving for 12 years and have had 6 + one warning.
One was in another state and was for speeding.
Five were in the state where I live and they were all for speeding except for a red light violation. I have been to class four times. You can go once every two years here and luckily there has been sufficient space between each of them that I have been able to attend class each time. Hopefully I won't get another one for a while. Nelson knocks on some wood.
 
i been driving for 15years.

4 speeding tickets (one dismissed because they had uped the speed limit from 45 to 55 and the cop forgot)

3 for expired plates. i always forget to get new ones 😱 the last time i was 6 months late when i got pulled over! heh the cop was nice about it and i didnt get a ticket (he pulled me over 2 of the last 3 times for the same thing).

im actually suprised that i only have 4 speeding tickets. i tend to speed when im alone or while im on my motorcycle. guess im just lucky.
