      Too many to count. I have been lucky as of the last couple of years, as I look older, but I am still dealing with tickets that are 4-5 years old. Ive had a fast car from the time I was 16. Ive always treated them with respect, because I built all of them, but a teenager behind the wheel of a loud, musclecar is an automatic ticket no matter what youre doing. Ive been pulled over for loud exhaust, obstructed view (airfreshener on the mirror), no frony plate (vanity plate on the Goat), doing 5-10 over the limit, etc. I hate do-nothing cops. Go chase the guy that just robbed a string of local suburban banks, killing a teller in the process.

            I've gotten 1 speeding ticket in my red 88 Iroc back in 1999.

            It was in Wisconsin's most notorious speed-trap town Rosendale. The speed limit goes from 35 to 55 when you leave town. I began accelerating to 55 just before the 55 sign. He taged me with his radar just before I entered the 55 zone going 47 and gave me a ticket for it.

            No warning, a ticket. On an otherwise clean record.

                None on my record, but only 3 in my whole life, one that just got thrown out of court a couple of months ago because the stupid cop was trying to save face. Wrote me a ticket for an expired tag when it wasn't expired (go figure out how you can screw that one up).

                  One ticket driving the Blazer on an access road to a parking lot 7mph over the speed limit (22 in a 15)...stupid!!!

                  One photo radar ticket doing 65 in a 55 (no points just a fine).

                  One warning for turning on a red light in front of an officer (it was very late at night and I was out of my mind) really nice officer!

                  One warning for doing 100+ near Eagle, CO (The officer didn't drag me into jail because I always slowed to the posted speed limit when traffic approached.) I just about died when she gave me a warning and not the hand cuffs.

                    Almost got one a couple years ago. I had incorrectly entered my wheel diameter in my superchips programmer. I didn't know at the time, but my speedo was about 15% off!

                    So, I drive by the cop and he comes out, I pull the the right lane and he flashes me, so I pull over. He says, "I wasn't going to pull you over, but you didn't slow down when I came up behind you".

                    LOL!! I had been wondering why everyone on the highway was going slower than normal!!

                        I have two or three on my record... I've gotten way too many for my age (22) and regret every single one of them(of course). My advice to any young kid is to slow down cuase insurance is horrible with tickets.

                        I've only got one in the Trans Am.... 93 in a 55. I was in trouble with my parents, my insurance, and the county!

                          None! I've got a good radar detector direct-wired into the car (so it powers up when I start the car and it's always on).

                            I got one like that on a road where the speed limit drops from 45 to 30 about 1/8th mile from this intersection. It was in Murphy, Texas, which is this little podunk town. Anyway, it was like 1 month after I got the Camaro. The cop was an a$$, but I was respectful to him. I got that ticket deferred. I got 1 when I was in HS, driving 30 through a school zone , didn't even see the sign flashing cause I was looking at the front of the school looking for the sister of a friend of mine that I was supposed to pick up. Got one other one for 45 in a 35, and another for 70 in a 60 on the highway. I lucked out on that last one cause I was in University at the time and was flat broke, soo...I had no insurance, and my inspection sticker was expired cause my muffler was falling apart. The officer was really cool, and apparently felt sorry for me so he just wrote me for the speed. So, I dodged about a $500 ticket there. Anyway, I haven't had one in the last 4 or 5 years, and I need to keep it that way cause I want to be a cop!

                              Going to court this morning for a $191 carless driving ticket.
                              Got one in San Diego for $271 for not stopping comepletly before turning right at a stop light. Followed immediatley by A noise ordinance ticked, then by failure to provide CA license, then failure to provide CA registration( I had both from NM). That all totaled over $500
                              Got one in AZ. for $185 dollars for going 87 in a 65.

                              I could probably keep going, I was pretty stupid when I was 18. I live in a pretty small town and A white camaro w/ red stripes sticks out.

                              Up until the carless driving tickek I was doing good though, it had been over 3.5 years since my last citation.
