My worst ticket was about 10 years ago. I was in my truck driving from Susanville to Reno on 395. If you have ever been on this road you know it is one of the most boring and ugly roads in California. I was stuck behind 3 big rigs going about 60 for miles until finally a passing lane going up a small hill. I really got on it to get around all of them, and as soon as I hit the top a CHP in a Mustang was going the other way. He made a U-turn and I knew it was me. I probably hit around 95. I told him my cruise was set at 70, and I only got on it temporarily to pass the trucks, but he was still writing me up. He was really nice, and so was I until he started trying to lecture me on safety. That is when I politely interrupted and mentioned that I've been driving longer than he has been alive, and he can save his lecture.
He wrote me up for I think like 85 in a 70. I did the on-line traffic school. That is my only ticket since my 20's.
Now, there was that day when I was 19 and got 2 tickets in one day....
