120 in a 50 coming home from the casino. Speedtrap. Cop reduced it to 65 in a 50 and wrote my plate down wrong :P
Been pulled over only once on my bike. The cop was so shocked that I stopped that he let me go with a warning.

Man, I just got pulled over for the first time last Friday... 83 in a 65... tickets in NJ are double the fine if the speed limit is marked at 65.
Luckily, I didn't have my most current insurance card... I say luckily, because he obviously wanted to charge me for something... he waved the 4 point, $200 ticket with a warning in favor of giving me the much more tasteful $44 ticket for not having my current insurance card.
I'm thinking about getting my insurance company to fight it... I called them on it, and they agreed that they failed to mail me a new card. Of course, anyone could argue that in the last 3 months, I should have known that the current one was expired.
So now I've been pulled over once, but I've still never had a speeding ticket.

My first speeding ticket... not even one month after I got the P5. 47 in a 30. I was stupid to get caught anyway... my radar detector was going crazy but I paid no attention to it.
I could have gotten away from the cop: the roads were wet and when he turned around, his back end drifted right into a curb and up onto the muddy sidewalk... bogged down almost instantly. I slowed down and watched him barely get out of the hole and run right up on my *** w/lights and siren full-on. I should have ducked onto a side street and turned backward... he never would have got me. Oh well... deferred adjudication rocks

I got a ticket for cutting off a cop. I think the cop was being a huge jack ***. He was like 'I had to slam on the breaks or I would have rear ended you and it would have been a huge accident'. Yeah okay buddy, not only was I about 5 feet in front of him but I also had my blinker going for about 5 second. It was only $100 CDN so it's not too bad.

because i dont think i can take the stop class (class to get out of the ticket) for this speeding ticket because its over 20mph over. damn. im paying like 70 a month now, i wonder how much this will effect this.

Am I the only speeder?
C'mon guys,
I haven't even had a good car and I've racked up more speeding tickets/moving violations than all of you. Here's the laundry list although I can't remember what I paid for most of these.
1. '84 Toyota Camry- 65 in 55mph (1995)
2. '84 Toyota Camry- rear-ended a Civic, no damage to me, bumper trashed on Civic (1996)
3. '84 Toyota Camry-72 in 55 (1996)
4. '84 Toyota Camry-58 in 45 (1997)
5. '95 Dodge Intrepid- 76 in 45 (1998, got out of it in court)
6. '95 Dodge Intrepid- 82 in 65 (1998, cop didn't show, fine reduced, took a class)
7. '95 Dodge Intrepid- ran stop sign in my neighborhood that nobody, including cops, stops at. Cop was in driveway busting keg party and saw me (1998)
8. 2002 MP5- 2 weeks after getting my new car I got pulled over for speeding 80 in 55. Had no license plate, just dealer tag. Paid big fine. (2001,Dec)
9. 2002 MP5- pulled over in exact same spot as previous violation and cited for same speed, but cop gave a warning.
Needless to say, my insurance on the P5 is ridiculously high, but since most of my violations are over 3 years old, my insurer will drop the points by my next payment (THANK GOD). By the way, suspending a license in Georgia must require a murder or two, because if mine hasn't been touched...

My Tickets are as follows :
*edit* added what car it was in
1994 Civic : 30 in a 15 while smoking tires in an empty parking lot = Reckless Driving / $1000 / 2 pt / Probation
1994 Civic : 65 in 45 = $450 1pt
1994 Civic : 65 in 45 = $280 1pt
1996 Crown Victoria : 60 in 45 = $300 Traffic School
1994 Civic : 80 in 65 = $450 1pt
1994 Civic : Accident = 1pt
1994 Civic : Throwing lit substance on highway (threw a clove and it landed on a cop car.. he even knew it was a clove) = $460 + 8hrs community service
1994 Civic / 1993 Prelude : Exhaust (3) = $10 each time
1994 Civic : Tint (2) = $10 each time
1994 Civic : Modified vehicle lighting (2) = $10 each time
1994 Civic : No Front Plate (4) = $10 each time
1993 Prelude : Registration (5) = In the prelude, while trying to smog it, got towed twice by police, every other time was $260 because we couldnt clear it
You can imagine what my insurance is like... yeesh. None of my tickets are off of my record, add to it a suspened license last year, and my insurance is like rent.

ohh man im still lucky!!!
i was hitting 120mph on hwy 5 in cali alomst ran into a cop. It was a light blue cop car. guess it was under cover. I reconized it becuz all cop cars have that big-o spot light next to they're mirrors. It scared the **** out of me. But sigh! guess he didn't see me. My lucky days will end soon enough. hehe
