    Are you a reckless drive that always get tickets from officers? I'm glad to say that all my years of driving I've only gotten a driving ticket thrice. An amazing feat for my family seeing as my sister got seven speeding tickets on one road trip alone.

    I've only received one ticket and it was about a year ago. I believe it was for taking a left turn out of a commercial lot where I was only allowed to take a right...Nothing really serious and a bit pathetic but I received one nonetheless!

    I need a clean driving record since I drive for a living and I want to get into the fire department so I try not to act up at all.

    Apparently I'm hell on the highway because I've been pulled over for just about everything under the sun.

    A few years ago I moved to a rather snotty neighborhood to be closer to a new job I had started, within my first year or two there I already had like three speeding tickets. I had like 5 in total during the entire time I lived there, along with a DUI, and a driving under suspension in that same area. They know me well.

    NEVER! No kidding, so far I haven't gotten a ticket because I'm overly cautious all the time. I haven't been in a car accident of any sort so far either. The other day I almost get hit by a reckless driver tho, but I managed to maneuver and skip it. I thought I'd end up flipping over the sidewalk :nailbiting:

    Luckily I haven't gotten one yet. My friends consider me a "reckless driver" but I have yet to be pulled over! Well.. I got pulled over once.. but it was because my brights were on XD Now I get scared to death when I hear sirens, but "knock on wood" nothing so far! I only speed when the road is empty (ish) :D

    Wow, looks like you guys are really cautious drivers. To not receive a ticket after all these years of driving is just amazing. I never gotten a ticket for reckless driving in my life, all the tickets that I got were for illegal parking.

    I have never gotten one yet, since I rarely drive and I'm also careful when driving.

    I have never gotten a driving ticket before. I'm bold to say that I'm a good driver.

    I am a very cautious driver and I have never gotten a ticket for traffic violation. I hate to have to encounter with the police so I always try to drive as careful as I can. So far I have also been in one minor accident and I intend to keep it that way.

    Three years ago was the last time I got a ticket. I got them about month or two apart, and both were for speeding. The first was issued to me while speeding on the expressway, which I was mad at myself for not seeing him when everybody else did. We were all going the same speed, but since they say him first, they slowed down and left me all along in the front. The ticket cost me about $250, ridiculous! The second was in a school zone. I was doing 30 in a 25, and that day police were standing outside with the scanner and was pointing to everybody that was speeding. I did not see him standing out there until the last minute. As I was getting a ticket so was four other people. That ticket cost me $117, ridiculous, but taught me a lesson. Spending that much on tickets has taught me to slow my butt down. A couple of weeks ago I almost could of gotten a ticket for not having my lights on at night. I park my car at Hardes's waiting for my dad to pull up. After waiting for ten minutes and was not able to get in contact with him I decided to leave. This was not me car, so when I crank the car I forgot that this car lights do not automatically come on. The police said he saw me in the drive way and though I was eventually go to turn them on, but I did not. When I saw those blue lights, I quickly realize the lights were not on. He was nice and let me go after checking my registration out. Boy was that close.

    I've only gotten one speeding ticket. I was going 40 in a 35 and I forgot that the speed limit on the road changes to 30. The cop clocked me at 39 in a 30 and gave me a ticket. I was able to take a driving course online to prevent getting any points on my license, but I still had to pay $150.
