This should be how many times have I lost my D.L.
I can honestly say at least 25 plus tickets(over 20 year period)
Knock on wood have not gotten one in a few years.
Bad one was
139 in 55--hehe--that one hurt bad!

I've been pulled over twice:
Once for no tail light on my scooter. The cop told me he didn't know what passed him (he was by the side of the road), but knew something was wrong. He just let me go home with a warning.
Once for 42 in a 25, though everyone goes 40+ down the road and he was looking for drunks and drugs (college campus), so he let me go with a warning.
Close calls include:
Speeding up to stay ahead of someone who was coming up on my *** really quickly (unmarked cop), until he started flashing his lights. Luckily, I was boxed in on the right on a two-lane highway and he was actually on his way elsewhere, so my speeding up could conceivably have been to get out of his way, since I was almost past the line of cars on my right.
I also drove a wreck of a minivan that broke down twice and had a cop investigate a bit while I got it working again. Neither time did they check the registration (it was registered to a dead man at the time), the insurance (I had none, it was insured to said dead man) or the inspection (ran out earlier that month because the dead tend to not inspect their cars).
I've also creamed a mailbox mounted to a 4x4 in a 325i. Only damage was to the front right quarter panel, about a 1" dent because it hit the wheel squarely and spun me around into the mailbox owner's driveway. That was freaky because I ended up parked perfectly about 4" from a concrete wall. He just made me pay for the mailbox and let me on my way.
In the same 325i I tapped someone who decided to stop at a yield. It was a hard hit, but there was no damage, so the cop didn't even ask for my license or info (not my car, not insured to drive it), just my name.

funny story, my dad out ran the cops when he was 18-19 in a late 60's mustang. he said he was hammered going through the harbor tunnel late at night and they came over the loud speaker and told him to pull over, and he kept flooring it and got off on the next exit and lost them.
thats all i kept thinking about when i was sitting on the side of the road... should have just floored it like pops did hahaha.

I had just got the 7 out of the shop,and Hell I just wanted to see what it could do.
Well there were 2 semi trucks side by side doing like ******* 40mph,getting pissed as hell I finaly had some room and took off.Well after about 4 or 5 miles and getting up to about 150 on rt3/301 I started slowing down becuase I was comming up on traffic and a bad intersection.Well I am at the bottom of a ******* hill and I see lights comming hard at me.As I said I was slowing down and had no clue anyone was after me.I am like ****! I just Pulled right over,had no where to go anyway.So The first thing I hear is liscense and registration.I say,Yes sir!
The next thing I hear is--I am not a sir!--Its the butch from hell!Sounded like a man,looked like a man but was a women.She leaves come back and asks me do you know what I clocked you at?I said well,that depends on where you clocked me at.She said she hit me when she was at the top of the hill,but she had been chasing me for over 4 miles because she saw the little stunt I pulled with the trucks.(She was in a undercover Buick and was right behind me when I did it)
Thank god she hit me with the radar after I was slowing down.I had no ******* Idea she was behind me.She told me she could take me in but decided to give me a reckless driving ticket,and a speeding ticket.As she gave me my **** back and my tickets,she told me to be carefull and slow down.
I said Yes sir and drove off!
100% true story.

2 that i actually had to pay.
94:65 in garret county, MD. 275 bucks, 5 points. got it reduced to 74 tho, $100 and no points.
83:55, about 10 miles from my house in WV. not too bad i just got a speeding ticket, cause i ran, but then i got lost and he found me. also that one was in the miata not the 7. cost me $10+ 153 court cost, and 5 points
i have been a candidate for several worse tickets, but running hasnt always panned out as badly as they tell you it does. (in other words, i got away)
been driving slower lately, tho, unless im on the bike
