Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
The only speeding ticket I have ever gotten was when I lived in Germany. Most of us Americans think that the Autobahn has no speed limit. Well, I learned the hard way that parts of it does have a speed limit! They sent me a ticket in the mail. I would have fainted dead away if a German police officer had pulled me over! (I knew very little German at the time!)

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I have gotten nabbed by a speeding camera a few times here, about 4 times in 14 years. Seems to happen twice in a short time when it does. There are also red light cameras too and random breath testing. I keep thinking, You're not in Kansas anymore, Toto!

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I think yesterday was my second speeding ticket ever
I’ve been pulled over for other minor things though (no tickets) and those red light cameras have caught me twice. That is the worst mail,lemme tell ya. |

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I've gotten them twice, my first was about 8 years ago and my 2nd I don't remember but probably 2 to 4 years ago. Both were places where the speed limit was lower than it seemed like it should have been. The first made me angry because I thought, how was I supposed to know? The second I just felt stupid because I knew the speed limit was lower in that area, I just wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I'm so afraid of getting pulled over, I get stressed out and start shaking every time a police car drives behind me.

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I got two in my teens, and one about seven years ago. It's the worst....I'm so sorry. I did traffic school and that stunk but at least it didn't make my insurance go up.

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I got one in 1999.
My kids read the speedometer now. Also, cruise control is my friend.

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
Never. Been pulled over many, many times, only a couple were for things I was actually doing wrong. Small town, lots of crooked cops (this was in high school/college). But I've always gotten out of tickets even when I was going over the speed limit.

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I have never gotten one...yet. I do sometimes speed, but it's rare and usually on a stretch of high way that is taking too long to get through.
I did get pulled over when dd2 was a baby. A police car in front of me failed to use their turn signal and they made a sudden right turn right in front of me. At the same moment dd1 picked up a yellow pool floaty and waved it around and I saw this giant yellow thing in my rear view mirror which surprised me, I almost rear ended the police car! They did a U-y and followed me and pulled me over a block away and made me sit for 30 minutes with 2 screaming babies in the back seat. THEY Failed to signal!!! I was livid. And because I said I didn't know why he pulled me over and gave him a small piece of my mind about using turn signals he let me off with a warning. He was in the wrong and I think he also felt a little bad once he saw I had 2 small ones screaming for food (it was lunch and nap time and we were literally 2 minutes from home). I still get angry when I remember that awful experience.

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I haven’t ever had one-but I also have a rule follower complete when it comes to driving.. like I always pull into the closest lane when turning and then signal to move into the lane I need, etc. my husband calls me an eccentric driver but I told him I just follow the rules. Lol

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
I got one a few years ago on the highway. They've since increased the speed limit on that stretch of road so that now I wouldn't have got a ticket, so I always feel a bit annoyed driving along there even though I was speeding at the time.

Re: How often do you get speeding tickets?
When I was in college on the interstate on the way home. Maybe 1996? I learned my lesson.
Not that I never speed, but I try very very hard not to ever go more than 5 over and 10 over on the interstate, (which yes is technically speeding).
