How many tickets have you had since you started driving?

Somewhere around 40 I think. close to half of those were dismissed though.
2 speeding tickets in 48 years of driving. That works out to 1 every 24 years. Not bad.
I can't believe some of the people in here are still allowed to drive.
^exactly what I was thinking. hahahaha
Got a ticket for 61 in a 45 on a two lane country road with no body else around except for me and the cop. lol. Ended up getting it dropped through my father-in-law who is a lawyer who has most of his cases in the county I got pulled over in. He ended up knowing the prosecutor and judge and it was dropped. Was just going to pay it cuz I lived 2.5 hrs away but he made a copy of the ticket and offered to fight it without me even asking him to do it.
I have had a lot. I have a lead foot and am always in a rush. Most have been equipment violations though because my Uncle and Cousin are state Troopers so I haven't had a speeding ticket in 12 years. The equipment stuff is always dropped as well because my Cousin or Uncle can sign off that they were corrected.
when I left VA in 1998 I had -11 points on my license, and that was AFTER taking the +5 driver safety course. thankfully those points did not transfer over to texas LOL
Driving 16 years now... last ticket was in 2005.
7 tickets, 6 movers 1 fix it.
Now I give the tickets. dun dun dun

Ive got to have around 20 or so in 8 years of driving. A handful are seatbelt tickets and the rest arent for anything too crazy, mainly just speeding a bit over.
A couple dumb tickets I remember were when I was 17, I got my truck stuck off a road while trying to pull someone else out and the cops came and gave me a ticket for improper lane usage and another was a ticket for "unnecessary acceleration" in my old thunderbird when I made a left and the tires squealed a little bit.
My latest ticket from about 3 months ago was for "illegal screeching of tires", after I installed a Steeda UCA I was out beating on it a bit enjoying that the wheel hop was gone.
I got stopped maybe 5 months ago for ripping through the gears and the cop came up to the window and told me that was a pretty stupid thing to be doing, lightheartedly, and I laughed and told him if I saw him sitting there I never would have did it. He ended up letting me off with just a warning.

0.23 Tickets per year with 37.5 % of tickets being BS.

So many I can not remember! ! Many careless & reckless tickets, a lot of speeding tickets. I do remember getting pulled in my 71 Maverick Grabber by a state trooper. He wrote me 8 tickets & took my car! In excess of 100 mph, wrong tags on car, no insurance, c&r, etc. That was an expensive day! It is amazing I made it out of my 20s!! LOL!
3 speeding and another for failure to signal in Houston rush hour @ 20mph (total cop out)
Currently doing online defensive driving as we speak!

During the Jimmy Carter 55MPH years I received several driving back and forth between Dallas and Lubbock, they all seemed to be 71 in a 55.
I picked up 2 tickets on a road trip to NOLA, for my sister's wedding, in the family truckster, 4 or 5 years ago, I blamed those on having my in-laws in the van :-D
I have had 1 ticket in my '03 Cobra, in the 12+ years I have owned it, which is pretty remarkable considering how fast I drive it.

Let's just say that I lost my license for 3 years and 90 days at the ripe age of 18. Luckily, nothing since I was 22. I have grown up, calmed down, and gotten wiser.
0 since installing the valentine 1 and LI 2 head unit
2.
1 for 59 in a 55, many years ago.
1 for out running the cop who was harrassing me and pushing me with his cruiser.
