So just for fun purposes, what's the biggest/worst traffic ticket you've received? I got my first ever speeding ticket last year at ripe age of 31. Managed to go 15 years without one....
But if you gonna do something, do it GOOD! 106 in a 65. Was it stupid? Yes. Quiet, empty freeway at 6:30 AM on a Saturday, just got the 06 GT out of winter storage week prior after winter rebuild, decided to stomp on it a bit, and didn't even see the cop til I flashed past at almost redline in 4th. I didn't even wait to see him pull out and flick on the lights, I just pulled over up ahead and waited for him. He asked me if I knew how fast I was going and I said "Honestly I have no clue but I know it was wayy over"
$166 ticket and 2 points on my license and could have been far far worse as he could have charged me with reckless operation and he knocked it down to 96 written on the ticket.
Cop did like the car though, and he was really nice considering. After all said and done, he was walking away to his car, then came back and said, "So I gotta ask, does it really get 9 MPG?" To which I said, "City driving, sadly, yes". He laughed and told me that he usually warns drivers merging back onto the freeway but said that he didn't think somehow I would have too much trouble catching up to speed...
What's your story?
