Question of the day 10/23
 Are you a lead foot or do you take it slow???  when was the last time you got a speeding ticket??? or are you one of "those" that has never gotten one.





My last speeding ticket was in college, but I have gotten a seatbelt ticket--- evedn though my seatbelt was buckled-- the cop siad it was cheaper than the ticket he could have given me so I didnt fight with him.  The last ticket I got was 4 years ago-- I was really really sick and had run to Wally World to get some Nyquil-- on the way home I was going to stop by my mom's for something and then decided at the last minute I was to tired and sick to go-- so I didnt turn right-- I turned left but had my right turn signal on--so he got for an improper turn. The worst part was he made me do a DUI test---because of it.

 Lead foot.  I wish I wasn't that way....
 I've managed to talk myself out of three tickets for speeding.  Ugh....knock on wood.

 I'm one of "Those".   I got a warning (verbal) once for going 59 in a 55.   I'm suprised he even stopped me but he was young and I suppose he needed to see if he could. :-D

 I have never gotten a speeding ticket. 

(knocking on wood, too)

I am not much of a speeder, though.  I did get a ticket for unregistered plates because my dh forgot to send in the registration.  The cop let me give my CC over the phone, and then they dismissed the ticket.  Does that still count as a ticket? ;)

I'm a 5 to 10 kind of girl, lol.  On the highways I will usually go 5 to 10 mph over the speed limit in the daytime.  I don't like speeding at night.  In town though I try to stay right at the speed limit - I figure there's probably a reason for them setting it so low, even though I hate going slow.

And speaking of unregistered plates, I should probably put my new registration sticker on my license plate.  It's been in my glove box for 2 months.  :bludconfused:

 I'm a good girl, sort of.  I do go a few miles over the limit especially on the interstates.  In certain areas around town, I tow the line because I know the cops are hidden and pointing their speed gun at the drivers.  I have only gotten one ticket in my life (knock on wood) and that was for an expired inspection sticker when those were required here years ago.

I go 5-10 over too.  I got a speeding ticket once, about nine years ago, for going too fast in a construction zone.  But it was on the highway and I was only going with traffic (with a solid line so I couldn't change lanes to slow down) and he was laying in wait for me or anyone going through there.  I was lost and late for my first day at a new job and he was MEAN.  I eventually got out of the ticket.  :-D

 I'm kinda pokey...LOL
Not slow...or fast...just average.
The last
time I was pulled over for speeding was about 4 years ago. I did get a
ticket and I was so pissed at myself because I had worked OT at work
that week and the majority of my OT pay was going towards a speeding ticket!  :x Having a kid really slowed me down.

Happy to say that I'm one of "those". :-D I've never been stopped for any kind of traffic infraction, even though for two years I drove a car that was uninsured and my liscense was suspended. Yikes! It pays to obey the speed limits, is all I'll say!

 I tend to be a little lead footed but not bad. If I am on the highway I use cruise control and that helps.  I have been stopped once but KNOCK ON WOOD never had a ticket.

 I'm a bad girl, I have a heavy foot. I was stopped once for speeding a long time ago and as the officer was writing the ticket he got called to go to an accident. He said this is your lucky day Miss and left. We have photo radar here and I think I've had my picture taken maybe two times.  I have donated a few bucks to the City of Calgary Police Department.  Someone has to.  :winkb:

Re: Question of the day 10/23
 I don't drive much but when I do, I usually do the speed limit or maybe 5 over. I have only gotten one ticket in my life when I was 22. I remember it very clearly. I am terrified to drive in snow so I was gonna call off work because it was snowing really bad the route I had to take to work was down a very winding road through the forrest preserve but I sucked it up and went. The speed limit through there was only 30, he said I was going 43! Okay, snow, winding roads, chicken behind the wheel...give me a break! Oh yeah, forgot to mention it was birthday!!!!

 Lead foot - until gas prices went over $4/gal.
 No tickets.  Always seemed to just know when to slow down...a few minutes later I'd see a cop, then I'd speed back up.  Now the cruise is always set at 55.
I wonder, sometimes, if we ever give God a headache.

Re: Question of the day 10/23
Well you decide...

Got a speeding ticket at 18 - doing 50 in a 35
Got a speeding ticket at 23 - doing 45 in a 30
Got a speeding ticket at 34 - doing 50 in a 35

Don't ask about any other violations...... ;)

I have gotten alot better but only because my car is slow...lol!
