I haven't gotten a speeding ticket here. People here usually don't follow it. I got a ticket for running a red light though. We don't have some of the systems that would help catch speeders like the speed camera. Public transportation here some times drive like there's no tomorrow. But then, no ticket.
I admit I speed a lot of times. I used to drag and I still have the knack at torque. I'd be more careful there when I go to Jersey. Take care!

Yeah, that's right. Buses are big but some of the drivers move about like a rat! They're competing and trying to outrun the other buses with no concern sometimes for the other vehicles. Take care moon!

my bro has had a lot of tickets which sucks because if you get a speeding ticket you have to wait for those to leave your record or for so long afterwards before you can get a trucking job and he kept getting them right after trucking school and as soon as they cleared he would get another one

I got a speeding ticket about 10-12 years ago now... can't hardly remember when it was. It was the ONLY ticket I've gotten (SO FAR... knock on wood!), and frankly, I felt it was a cheap ticket... one that was "barely" valid. But it was easier to just pay the damned thing and go on.
Otherwise, I LOVE CRUISE CONTROL!!!! I call it my "Set it and FORGET THEM" switch. I don't have to worry about the cops, PERIOD!

I had my driver license just 2 years ago, as a newcomer, I have gotten 2 tickets now: 1 ticket for parking in wrong place, 1 ticket for exceeding the speed limit. The tickets cost me more than 50 dollars, also I spent days to deal with them. So I drive gingerly now, haha.

I've never had a speeding ticket - but my husband and I once had a ticket for parking in a wrong place when we pulled over in a little town as one of our children was about to be sick in the car! The parking inspector was actually standing at the side of the road as we pulled up, and when I ran into an alleyway with my daughter so she could be ill, the inspector booked my husband. Bummer!

Ha ... the traffic police here either just impounds or you go scot free .. its make or break for us. They usually dont follow, just block the way, and if you get through, u are free. So, we dont get a ticket usually ... They just take our Registration Certificate and/or license of the vehicle so we cant drive it and risk being cought again.
Ive been cought like ... 3 times in my life. It is NOT pleasent. _

ugh but at least you have the option of trying to make a break and it possibly being successful unlike here where you run they just keep chasing you and then you end up on tv or something lol

Well you could just live in a bad area as far as cops go. I lived in FL and cops wouldn't pull over speeders (at least where I lived) and then I move to TN and cops have nothing better to do than just sit and pounce on everyone.
