Call me a wild child. Driving for 17 years, probably 15-20 tickets......1 ticket in about the last 6 years though. I have calmed down quite a bit....:)

I've had my license for 3 years.
Total tickets overall: 2

I got my first one last october for speeding.
and I just got one TODAY for passing across solid yellow line! :|

It's actually true what most people tell me. You get jinxed once you get your first ticket..!
My record was clean for like 2 1/2 years and now i suddenly get 2 in 4 months! :|

I got a ticket for doing 50/25, 90/75, 85/75, 40/35 and no seatbelt. I still have to go to court for two of them.


I've been driving for 4 years in Michigan.

Been driving for 5 years, 2 tickets. One was for doing 72 in a 45, and the other was for running a red light. I lost on both of them. 5 points will do wonders for your insurance!!

I just got a ticket last week :( :( :( Boy was I pissed.

I was going 50 in a 35 and the cop wasn't too happy. Had to pay $75. I only had $80 in $20's and the cop said he didn't have any change. hah. So I ended up paying $80 for going 15mph over. Blah.

In 6 months I racked up 3, but luckily in 3 different towns. Deferred adjudication on all 3 and none of them were any the wiser :D

Have not had any in like 6 years though.

Parking tickets - here on freaking campus. And one time I got one even thought you I was in the right parking lot - the lines were just to faint that you couldn't even see them :|

Other tickets - none.

Two.

One for careless driving, which got dismissed after completing traffic school & six months of no tickets.

One two months ago for 72 in a 55. Didn't even bother seeing the judge, settled the damned thing with the clerk.

82 in a 55.
and 2 parking tickets
6 years

Drivers in St. Cloud, Minnesota are the worst, much worse than Twin Cities. People around here are very inconsiderate.

2 years of driving and i have to say that i am SO lucky to only have 3 tickets. i am pretty much the worst driver i know and try not to drive as often as i can. I don't drink and often drive my drunk friends home or watever and sometimes its probably safer for them to drive :)

I'll bow out to you folks that have to grow up today. Although I got few tickets, I was guilty of hundreds and probably would get several years in jail if I'd pulled the stunts that were common place in my younger years.

The Cops in my day had the opinion that they should only heard our youthful extravagance along and not squish it out like a smoldering butt. For the most part we respected them and they gave us some respect in return. Too bad that's not how it is today.

I've had 5 traffic violations in 32 years of driving. About 15 involving titles and licenseing, but I beat everyone of those in court.
