Poll: How many tickets have you gotten in your life?

[flippinfleck]

Three; 80/55, failure to yeild [to a police officer!], and for not wearing a seatbelt. Actually, my bro was the one not wearing it, but he was underage and I wasn't. I wound up paying. Live in MA


G|T, where do you live that you can pay the officer that tickets you? If I tried that, I would be booked for trying to bribe an officer of the law

LordSandMan - Nice to see someone else from the frozen tundra of Minnesota on the board Can't say I know what you're talking about...but the driving in the Cities blows. Hate to see St. Cloud :Q

I live in a small, rural town in Illinois. I asked him what to do (never gotten a ticket before and I had no clue, in my 4 years of driving; I'm 20). He said that I should go to the Clerk's office and give it to her. I went to my house to get the cash, went right to the police station (the bastard took my license and I wanted it back). Right in the parking lot the officer was there, and he came up to me and said &quot;Hey Tom&quot;. From there I was freaked, he said he would take the money and sign it. He took it into the clerk and I got my license back. I know he wouldn't do anything wrong with the money because he has a reputation in this town for being precise on everything.

I got pulled over by him for having expired plates about 6 months prior to this speeding incident last week. It just so happened that me and a friend were on the way to a LAN party that evening over at a friend's house across town. He said, &quot;What's with all the computer equipment?&quot; very curious. I of course explained what a LAN party was. I don't know if he thought I was lying or not but he didn't give me sh!t so I figured he understood. He thought me and my friend were looney for carrying so much crap around but he was nice anyway - written warning. Some cops probably wouldn't have thought twice before thinking I stole all of that equipment with my friend. Thank god I was able to play Quake 3 that evening. I was pissed so I won almost every match of CTF..

Two for me, unless you mean parking tickets too. One for speeding, and one for leaving an accident (long story), which was thrown out when I went to court.

[Emulex]

couple of years ago, got 8 tickets at once other than that, clean bill of health (btw none of the tickets were dangerous or accident causing).

They all drop off my policy in 2 weeks, needless to say my insurance will hopefully cut in half

 

[Degenerate]

[syzygy]

i don't have a license. but i did get one as a cyclist during one der fuhrer guiliani's mass crackdowns against virulent 'quality of life' sociopaths. during that week, or was it days, the
city of new york was enforcing 19th century morality by targeting cyclists who run lights, ride on sidewalks, mistakenly slam into feeble pedestrians, etc. so i was caught, fined, and told to behave. que sera sera

 

[airfoil]

3 tickets.

 

[kw3i]

yea san diego drivers seem to be pretty good on the most part, except the ones that decide to pull out in front of me when im moving along, only to go 10 mph under the speed limit forcing me to slow down, i hate that...so annoying; )
