Not posting for fear of jinxing myself.

Never been issued a ticket.. been pulled over in the Z once though. The Hi-po just wanted to see it up close and gave me a warning.

**No speeding tickets in 24 years of driving**

WOOHOO!

I love threads that rise from the death!

But seriously I never gotten a ticket either, I'm young though I've got plenty of time for one ;)

I got a ticket for reckless driving in VA. No speed was quoted but I later found out that I was cited for changing two lanes without signaling and travelling at a "high rate of speed".

No fine was listed on the ticket and I was just told to appear in court on the court date. Apparently reckless driving can land you up to a $2500 fine and a year in jail in VA (which had me sh!tting bricks for a while). Ended up not retaining a lawyer and went to court with the hope that my otherwise clean driving record would get me some leniency.

Walked away with a $250 fine + court costs and 30 day suspension.

Haha scary! 1 year in jail = leaving the country for me. **** THAT!

98 in a 55. I was passing 2 semi's at the same time in my 280z and just when I pulled back into my lane, bam my radar detector blows up. The cop was real cool about it though and said to call the judge to get a deal. When I called the judge he said if I sent him $250 it would not go on my record. Sounded fishy but it worked :)

103 in a 65. cbr600rr

cant remember costs, but 3 points

73 in a 50, literally minutes after I removed temporary tags and put on my new plate. Sheriff marked me down at 60. Paid the ticket since I had taken a driving course too recently for a red-light camera catching me on a late left turn, part of my truck not past invisible line.

old post but fwiw

i got a speeding ticket for ~80mph in a 55 years back (can't remember my exact speed). it was 1am and happened to be in a construction zone with the big orange barrels on the side of the road, etc. cop gave me a ticket for $280 (double the normal $140 fine since construction zone). i just paid it since i was away from home and didnt want to drive to the court far away. couple of months pass and i get a check in the mail from the state for $140 with a note from a judge stating that since no one was working at 1am, it can't be considered a construction zone. :tup:

127 mph in a 70 back in 1991. Fine was set at 375 Pounds and didn't pay it:-)

Headed north on the M44 just South of Oxford pretty much minding my own business cruising along on a '90 Kawasaki ZX11. Pulled over once I noticed I had coppers behind me. They said they had been chasing my for 7 or 8 miles. I explained I wasn't running, and didn't know they were chasing me.

Two policeman in the car, once was saying let him go and the other was saying to take me in. I was saying let him go!

In the end, they let me go with a ticket. BTW, 375 pounds was a chunk of money back in '91. I believe the only reason that I didn't get arrested is because I was active duty AF at the time as was headed to my new TDY base. Had ID, Orders, etc on me. When I settled in on base, the guidance I got from the Staff Judge Advocate was to do nothing. Don't pay or anything. Since I was stationed in Germany (Lindsay Air Station Wire Dawg) in Weisbaden, they said they'd never catch up to me. In the end, no fine, no point, no nothing. Have to say though that over the next few years everytime I went through customers or passport control I halfway expected to get collard.

The biggest ticket I got was in Turkey, going from Adana to Istanbul. Was stationed at Incirlik. I got caught going through some little crappy villiage and got popped in their local speed trap. Fine was like 2.5 Million Turkish Lira on the spot (which worked out to less than $20 US). I felt like giving them $50 dollars to radio ahead to clear the road.

I spend 20 years, 5 months, and 5 days in the USAF of which over 14 years was spent overseas. Pretty sure I got ticketed in every country I went through over the years. Even got a gun pulled on my in Germany because the cop said later he didn't want me to run. He said later he woulnd't have actually shot at me, but I didn't know that at the time.

Tick

Worst ticket was when i had my Z. I normally dont street race but a GTR was trying to get me to run. I said **** it and did a pull on the hwy. Of course he pulls bus lengths on me. He let off the gas as i was still trying to catch up. We were side by side doing 189kmh in a 110 zone. We hit a crest of a hill and he slams his brakes on. I knew why right away. Of course the cop comes after me, GTR takes off. Cop comes up to me and asks...

Cop: Whats the rush?
Me: No rush, just being stupid.
Cop Gimme one good reason why I shouldnt take your licence, impound your car and give you a fine.
Me: There is no good reason, what I did was stupid and dangerous.
Cop: Licence, registration and insurence please.

So i give him the info, he goes to his computer and comes back.

Cop: Ok so ill be nice and give you a ticket for $355 and 4 points off your licence
Me: Thanks, but since im military and my troop warrent will flip if he hears about this, can you just give me a warning?
Cop: (as he gives me a ****** up face) Are you ******* kidding me?
Me: Nevermind, ill take the ticket....
Cop: Is that a nitrous switch?
Me: Yes, i have nitrous installed but no bottle with me today:
Cop: pop your trunk.

So i pop the trunk, he sees no bottle and as he is about to leave he says

Cop: I'll put on the report you were very polite and told the truth, if you talk to the prosecutor, they will most likely cut the ticket in half.
Me: Thanks.

So we both leave, 2kms down the road i see the guy in the GTR on the side of the road with 2 under cover cars. I went to the court date and they cut it down to $177 and 2 points.

That was my biggest and luckiest ticket ever. Never street raced since..lol.

147 in a 40 zone on a 2003 yamaha R6 when I was 17. Ticket was around $500 don't remember points tho he almost took me to jail!

Worst ticket i got was in my 2005 350z. 109 in a 50. I was street racing a wanna be cobra (2008 Gt). Yea, they took me to jail. I was in nursing school at the time. I failed out because i missed so much going to court and trying to get it lowered from a reckless op to drag racing. Plus, the LSBN (Louisiana State Board of Nursing) didnt want a "criminal" becoming a nurse, lol. But...everything happens for a reason. Annnnnddddd...im driving a 370z now. :stirthepot:

Worst: $488 ticket and car impounded for 30 days at $8/day for driving a car with my car not registered and license not renewed.

It basically was a super nice early spring day weeks before I was scheduled to register my car and take it out of storage status. Of course a super clean Prelude (car at the time) stuck out like a sore thumb

Most annoying Happened this summer with the Z, $156 ticket, twice, 30 days apart for my Exhaust. Same cop too, so I think he was just singling me out...I contested the 2nd one in November...waiting for a court date...I got a nice defence lined up...I'm going Perry Mason on these fools!

Worst Ticket? 1989 just before I left for the Gulf War. Got caught going through the Virginia Beach toll Booth at 142 MPH on my VMAX. What I didn' tell the officer was that I slowed down as I went threw the toll....lots of oil in there. I lost my license for two years and paid over $400 in fines, had to sell the bike. I came back from the first Gulf War and received my license in the mail from the court. Letter went, "thank you for serving your country...you license has been reinstated on a 6 month basis...." Keep in mind, that in those days, the toll booth didn't have the arms on it that it does now; or did. And. it was only ten cents then. LOL. I was just racing a few other bikes on our way down to the storage unit were we were all going to store our rides. I look back and probably the only reason I didn't go to jail was because we were leaving for the War in the morning. My CO had to come get me though-and that didn't go well.
Marines, we are a crazy bunch. Actually have the ticket framed in my office at the house. :)
