I'm at about 7 months, no pull overs no tickets. But I use a radar/laser detector and I keep a sharp lookout. I've almost gotten nailed a couple of times, but I was just a little quicker than the cop on the draw (downshift with foot off the gas vs. him turning on the gun). It's only a matter of time before they get me though.

No tickets while driving my Z, thankfully, I guess I've only driven it about 5 times though.
I did get a speeding ticket in my old S2000 for going 45 in the 35, I think that car was a magnet for trouble, at least for me. Got another ticket for no front plate on my G35 coupe. A bit ridiculos to pull me over and go through the trouble just for me to put a front plate on. I imagine I will get pulled over for no front plate on my Z, no big deal, I will just pay the fine. |

First off, no tickets or even stops so far. V1 is doing it's job perfectly!
Second, the "reports" that show red cars "get pulled over more" should be looked at a little closer. Red cars make up a large portion of the "pool" of cars used in those reports. Red cars get pullled over proportionately to their % of total cars. In those reports, gray or silver cars actually get pulled over almost double compared to their % of total cars. If I didn't explain it right, here's a little visualization, for example: Total Cars: Red - 40% Silver/Gray - 20% Yellow - 10% Black - 30% Tickets: Traffic Stops: Red - 35% Silver/Gray - 35% Yellow - 5% Black - 25% Obviously, numbers were made up to favor my argument, but closely reflect the "reports" I was able to find on the Internet.

LOL , I have gotten 3 of these at the same light in my last car. Needless to say I go around the light now. I got one ticket for making a right on red because I didn't come to a complete stop before making the right turn--lame!
