Seriously? Your dad is gonna whoop your ass when insurance renewal time comes.

No actually tickets for me yet. Just 2 warnings one for doing 72 in a 60 and no front plate(yay Minnesota). Was on my way out of town to meet up with family. Sister had her baby that weekend. Drive this highway everyday to work 70+ never seen cop but today was Saturday so go figure. Thought I was for sure getting a ticket cause I was doing about 80 before I saw him. Officer kindly let me know when he was giving my warnings that he got me doing 72 with his rear radar. Felt sorta lucky and drove the speed limit til I hit North Dakota.

Don't see how. he's been dead for 5 years. Remember him getting burned one time for 180 in a 100. Used to drive with the dash lights off so mom couldn't see how fast he was going. Step mother used to try to outrun the cops in her '71 camaro ss. Used to have a couple of Karmin-gias back in those days. Some nasty right-offs while racing on the back roads in New Brunswick.

150kph in 60kph zone, fail to stop, fail to take corner in prescribed manner, fail to indicate, fail to stop at red light, negligent driving, all in my old 1275 Leyland Mini.

Ended up boxed in by about 6 cop cars.

I was 17, after the subsequent belting, fines and loss of license, I drove much more sensible on the street.

My brother introduced me to some of his motorsport mates, I've saved my speed for the track or strip ever since.

I'm 53 now and haven't been booked for speeding since then.

Disclaimer: I do drive just under 10% faster than the limit everywhere I go though, except school zones, never been caught by a camera or mobile cop car.

It was a good lesson though, I hate to recall how many friends and associates aren't around today because of high speed crashes on the street.

Amazingly, I have not gotten a speeding ticket in this car. In all my previous cars I have. The biggest difference now with my car is I donate to the police and have the donation sticker and badge on my car's license plate, which has helped for sure.

When I worked in TV I was around cops a lot, and they would joke about people putting PBA and "thin blue line" stickers on their cars and thinking it would get them out of tickets. I remember this one guy mimicking somebody he stopped in a high pitched voice, "But didn't you see my sticker? I thought you guys didn't give tickets to police supporters!" In the case of the police support organizations, they'll happily accept your money and still laugh at you.

Way harder to drive dead. KNOCK IT OFF!

My worst was in Portland at 3 am driving from Seattle to the northern most CA DMV to replace my lost license. 30 over in a 55 without realizing what the speed limit was. Luckily he didn't cite me for the missing license and through the power of traffic school it was removed.

I'd like to think I'm smarter now than at 20...

Ah... this got caught in the clutter. This explains why it's 4 times, it's not only automated process but supposedly no repercussions?

You sure it's not on your driving record? Have you done a check? Or have you not yet noticed any difference in premiums attributed to driving record?

This also proves the point that it's not about enforcing laws it's just about the money, otherwise people would've had there licenses taken away at this point and they would've actually assigned points.

For most people the fines alone should make them think. Apparently some just figure it is a racing tax and are willing to pay.

Not directed at T, but at those who figure the above is a license to drive like idiots...

If the only thing being endangered was the speeding/reckless driver's wallet and health, I wouldn't care. However, I'm not willing to pay someone's racing tax with my or my loved ones' health or lives...and I love a LOT of people.

There is no excuse for high speed driving on public roads. None. O.P., sounds like you had some awful examples in your youth. Do better..that's what each generation aspires to do, isn't it?
