I stopped counting. I have had a few where they took me to jail. But I think it was the circumstances. When racing on the streets a speeding ticket can be worse. Last ticket I got was 130mph in a 55mph zone. Went to jail for that one....this was be4 they passed the law in FL about racing. Now they take you to jail and take your car. I have not had a license for the past 3 years so I have been pretty good about not getting caught. Also we have a law here if driving over 100mph they can't chase you. Iv had to do that a few times to keep them off my tail and keep myself out of jail. Otherwise it’s jail time for me since it would be my 3rd time driving with on a suspended license. Now if I’m riding a bike won’t stop unless they are close enough to read the license plate. I have had lots of bad experiences with cops so I don’t like to be around them or pulled over by them.

So everyone be smart don’t the same crap I did. I can honestly say I am very good driver that’s why I take the risk of driving the way I do. You can kill ppl and or yourself pullin the crap I have done in my past. Don’t take this as me bragging cus it’s far from that

2 speeding within a month of each other and one running a red. Also got pulled over for 75 in a 30 but luckily the cop was nice and let me off with a warning. The first one I was going 86 in a 65 when he hit me with the speed gun, but he bumped it down to 84 so it wouldn't be criminal speeding. Thank god he didn't get me about a half mile earlier when I was going 120! The second was 56 in a 40. Haven't gotten a speeding ticket in nearly a year now though.

I have not had a speeding ticket since before most of you members were even born..That's right

Last ticket I had was for speeding doing 35 mph in a 20 mph zone in Chicago at MidWay field. I came home from Viet Nam in 1968 bought a brand new Buick Electra 225 convertable..bettter know back then as a Deuce and a quater (2 2 5). The cop asked me why I was speeding and I told him I just got the car that morning and that I was just back from the Nam only 3 days and he Thanked me for serving and told me to slow down around the airport road.. Yes - True Story...

I haven't had one for over 10 years...Knock on wood...My idiot neighbor got one on the 405 fwy...The CHP got him in his 2004 Z06 Corvette racing another knucklehead. He was cited for wreckless driving/speed contest...142 MPH in a 65 mph zone. The cop arrested him and his Vette was impounded. Mandatory license suspension and over $3000 in fines !! Shizzott for brains...

Zero, never even been pulled over for speeding.

Only ticket I have ever gotten was $20 fine for having tinted tail lights(darn Massachusetts)

Only other time I ever got pulled over was the day after I got my car back from the paint shop because I didn't have a front plate. Got a verbal warning. It was so dumb cause all my friends have gone years without a front plate and never got pulled over. I got pulled over the second time out with my car.

I spat my English Tea out on the screen reading this. You are are a hopelessly useless driver if you are driving without a license!
I am not the least bit surprised you have had bad experiences.

You been over to the UK rioting recently? ... OMG a moderator too , you are kidding surely? This has to be a wind up!

I have been to Florida several times, the driving standard is actually very good, hope if I ever go again I don't meet you coming the other way

all I can do is laugh cus you don't have the slightest clue.

Only if I were allowed to talk about street racing on the forums....then you wouldn't be so judgmental when you would lean how we do things.
