Why the hell are you people doing 75 in a 35? On the freeway, I couldn't give two 🤬 what you do, but elsewhere, I'd like to not have to watch out for retards doubling the speed limit.

Oh Kyle... always positive.

I love these insightful lists. News flash: Expensive cars are expensive to own. It has always been this way. I'm sure there is a family of five somewhere keeping a tight budget, and this Yahoo list just saved them the mistake of purchasing a Mercedes SL500.

^Yup. People being loud in areas where others are trying to sleep irritates the hell out of me. In the club's parking lot, be as loud as you want...when you're stumbling back to your apartment, SHUT THE 🤬 UP.

That's what I thought until I actually heard one of her songs. She sucks.

Then why don't you play an F1 game? No, your opinion is not bad, it's just bizzare.

Ugh, don't get me started on roommates who hit the snooze. Bonus points to them if they go to bed at 2:30 every night, and "just can't" get out of bed at 6:30. Your body does absolutely nothing with ten fragmented minutes of sleep. Just get up, and quit bothering the rest of us.

It's nearly impossible to get a 4.0, and guess what, kids: IT DOESN'T MATTER. Employers don't care about your grades, and your GPA is not listed on your diploma. It's severely wasted effort.

Racing with 2 hot girls in my 3000GT VR4. Got a ticket for going 76mph in a 35mph zone. :D It was worth it. The ticket back then was only $100, since street racing wasn't a sin like it is now.

Hell, we'll be lucky if we get anything like that now. Street racing's been really bad in Plano, lately. Bad enough that Dallas PD is roaming Plano Parkway at night now instead of Plano PD. That road is 45Mph to my knowledge and I've been lucky more than once to not get caught doing 70 down it when it's empty.

I haven't had any actual bad speeding tickets, just mainly warnings. I've been extremely lucky considering there's a few roads in Tx. where if I was caught, I'd be going to jail for committing a felony, not just speeding.
 
I've had a couple of speeding tickets. And a couple of careless driving tickets a couple of years ago. "Sustained loss of traction" and something like "Unwarranted acceleration". Cant remember the exact terminology, but basically it's launching too fast at the lights, even if you're nowhere near the speed limit. That one cost me my license for 3 months.

The speeding tickets and the one for doing a burnout I accepted, I was being stupid and I got caught. The acceleration one pissed me off no end. I still don't think I did anything wrong AND it put me over 100 demerits. Awesome!

Better watch out for me then. I go 115 in a 50.
 
I got a good one!!!
I was driving back from dropping off my son around 8:30 am on my way to work.
two blocks away from his school I saw this guy on a bike, he was about 6 cars ahead of me. When I merged into the Freeway (Ca.280) I did not realized that the bike was on my right probably 4 car lengths now ahead of me, going up a hill, but not really paying attention to him. I drive a Corolla so you know it is not the fastest car! But he suddenly got in front of me when I was one car length or less, I was very close to him. So he realized I was right on his butt and decided to merge back to his lane. But now he was racing me :) yea a corolla!!! any who, I was not going to let him pass me :sly:
He just would not let me go he kept gliding right next to me, if I slowed or speed up he would be right next to me :grumpy:
So then Finally he sped up by the time we realized that we were being watched it was too late!!! A Highway patrol was right ahead of us in the freeway entrance hiding by some branches!!!:guilty:
We both pulled over, he was right behind me once we were on the side of the road, cop talked to him then came over to me. He went back to write him a ticket (for going over 72mph on a bike ) and ask the guy to take off his helmet :confused:. When he took off his helmet to my surprise it was MY BOSS!!!! :lol::dunce:
He did not see me as he was behind my car and then took off with out looking into my car...then the cop came over to me and ticketed me for going over 92mph :indiff: 🤬
We got back to work and I told him I had seen him on the side of the road :sly:
he was so :O after he let out all his 🤬 did I explained that it was me on the corolla :lol: a month later people still give us crap about the ticket :ouch:
I went to court he did not I ended up paying $120, including traffic school. He payed $290 + traffic school for not showing up to court and not pleading guilty!!!:dopey:
 
Owned my car for about a month now. I think I've been pulled over about 10 times already....All without doing anything illegal. Gosh I love this car.
 
I think I've only got 1 point left on my license. In the past 6 months...

I got a ticket for going 65km/h in a 60km/h zone, at 1:21am. (That's 40mph in a 37mph zone, welcome to Melbourne.) -$125

Also I got pulled over for not showing my probationary plates on my car - $119

University Parking Fine, not parking in an allocated bay - $71

Parked on a road facing the wrong direction. - $94

Do they think you've stolen it or something?

Not really, I could tell that they were all just curious. Almost all of them find the car neat. Pretty much everytime I get pulled over they'll take my license and insurance and come back a few minutes later with a few stories or compliments and send me off hehe.
 
The other day I got stopped doing 55 in a 25 (school zone) and I was let free with nothing but a warning.

And a few months ago I was let go after running a red while making a left... my town's police are quite the push overs.
 
I've gotten pulled over for going about 45 in a 30 at about two in the morning, but the cop let me off with a warning. Strange too, because it's an area that cops are known to be especially pestering. My guess is he saw on his computer that i'd never been pulled over before that.

Then an $18 parking ticket for an empty meter. Oh well, my friends were very courteous and help me pay it since i was giving them a lift. The only thing that ticked me off was that it was a pretty quiet street, and i'm certain that if i had parked on the other side of the street (the non-residential side) i would have never gotten a ticket.
 
Cliffnotes version.

1 parking ticket for burning out in the high school lot two years ago, and 1 speeding ticket doing 86 in a 70, got cited for 75.
 
I just got my first ticket ever for driving too quickly on the Autobahn. It was a part with 80 kph (50 mph) allowed, I did 92 kph (58 mph) and was "hit" by a speed camera. Cost me 20 Euros.

How did it feel? Well, I was pretty angry with myself when it happened, but I knew it wouldn't be too bad, so I got used to the thought quickly. Also, I think that everyone is in control of his/her vehicles speed, so going quicker than the law states means that you can be punished. A very simple concept that surprisingly appeals only to a small chunk of motorists.

I got my first ticket before I even passed my driving test! I was getting a lesson from my mum and we stopped beside a shop and she went in to get a few things.
A traffic warden came out of no where and started writing a ticket, I was too worried about driving without a supervisor but anyone else would have just drove off the spot but I just sat there in the drivers seat with the keys watching the guy write a ticket like a goon :lol:

The second and only other time was last month were I got 2 parking tickets in the space of 30mins! That didnt feel good, soo many other great things you can do with £120 :-(
