Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

How much over the speeding limit were you going? I've really been lucky in the sense the only time I was pulled for speeding, the cop just gave me a warning ticket. I think when he saw I never had gotten one my entire life, he felt sorry for me. I was going about 10 miles over in a 35 MPH zone.

    Oh....I've had my share of speeding tickets.

    But it's been a while...My last one, I think I was 10 miles over the limit too.

    I got a ticket...not a warning.

    No I have never gotten a speeding ticket. But a whole lot of parking tickets when I was in my 20's.

    I did get one moving violation when I had stopped at a crosswalk where there was a school. I waited and then some kids were crossing the street and walked all the way across the street and had stepped on to the sidewalk so I started up slowly to go. I no sooner had started up when this motorcycle policeman stopped me. I thought what the heck did I do. He said that the little girls heel was not all the way on the sidewalk which it mean to him she was going to run back across the street. I got a ticket for 95.00. She was on the other side of the street from me. I still think he was wrong to give me that ticket. All because of the kids heel not being on the sidewalk. can you believe it? It spoiled my never having a ticket record.

    well in my life time i have had a few....i even got one for going 16 mph in a 15mph zone...no kidding

    It was on a street called a play street in a neighborhood...with a 15MPH speed Limit.....the cop said there had been complaints of people speeding on that street and i was just an example ......i am being serious..........

    I have driven well over 100 Mph in places and have never gotten a speeding ticket for actually speeding........but i have gotten tickets for just a few miles over the posted limit.......its ridicules

    But it is what it is.....!!!

    I am more careful now...that i am older....but i still have my moments of Need For Speed !!

  • Yes, once for doing 62 in a 45 MPH zone, once for doing 54 in a 35 MPH zone. Fortunately they were both several years ago and I (knock on wood) haven't gotten any tickets recently.

    I know several cops and none of them have ever got a ticket for speeding when they are pulled over. A lot of it may have to do with the "code" that cops follow to protect their own. I can't say all cops get out of tickets though. Just the ones I know.

    Several. I'll admit I have a serious case of leadfoot. The worst was going 98 mph in a 75 mph zone.

    Yes, many times. Oh, you are Lucky!!

    Last year, I payed US $5000 over speeding <70MPH> in a <70MPH> zone in Japan.
