Several years ago in my G37 86 in a 55 ( I was going 95 but slowed it some). DA dropped it to 64 in a 55. No points but the price was the same $410. Now in GA they have a super speeder for 15 over and the ticket doubles the cost.

77 in a 45. Due to my prior clean record, city attorney gave me a deal for "driving too fast for conditions". $180 total including court costs and out the door in 5 minutes. I would say that I was lucky on this one.

I was doing 142 in 75 zone in Nevada desert back in late 90s in my Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo. Cop cut me major break and wrote ticket for 85 mph.
I was doing 94 in 55 on highway 1 in Nor Cal in my Porsche Boxster about 7 years ago and CHP let me off with warning. Then last week was in my SUV doing 70 in 55 and got a ticket. First one in 8 years.

10 Mazda3 Hatch doing 52 mph in a 25 - school zone. It's normally 45 when the school zone time isn't active. No kids were around yet and the light wasn't working, so I had no warning. I saw the cop - didn't even slow down.
Got it reduced to $150 because of the light malfunction after putting it off for a year. Switched insurance companies. |

Most bs ticket ever . "Failure to stop at a stop sign " but when he first came up to me he thought I was on my phone -_-.
He didn't even tell me what I was getting a ticket for . It was in my Honda though . 300$ + 30$? For traffic school ? It was bs I stopped he wasnt even looking and went after me Daily he had someone stopped at that spot for a while I think someone reported him because he is no longer there anymore . Or budget cuts haha |

The worst ticket I've ever got? - I got this parking ticket at a 15min street parking spot. I thought I parked there just about a couple minutes over 15min was I really that unlucky? Good I read the ticket carefully and found out it's for the same make/model/color car BUT different license plate number AND on a different street! Someone tried to trick me. If I just carelessly paid for that ticket, that a-hole would be laughing his a** off at me.
Result? - I threw it away. |

Haven't been pulled over in the Z yet (knocks on wood), but I spent plenty of time on the side of the road talking to cops when I was younger and dumber. Most of my tickets were garden variety speeding tickets that were completely legitimate and completely my fault, usually with a no front plate ticket tacked on if the cop was having a bad day.
What would have been my biggest ticket (and likely a trip to jail) turned out to be a warning. I was absolutely hauling *** in my STi around a freeway interchange. It was banked just perfectly. I always used that particular interchange to test out any suspension work. This time I got a good running start on it, and just ripped through there. I probably hit somewhere in the neighborhood of 130+. I backed off of it merging onto the freeway, and saw a motorcycle with flashing lights behind me as I realized I was going to jail shortly. I had lifted, and looked down at the speedo to see how bad the ticket would be. The needle had just drifted back down to about 110-115. At this point, I began mentally preparing myself to go to jail for the evening. I pulled over onto the shoulder and braced myself. The motorcycle cop got off his bike, stormed up to my window and began screaming at me. He ordered me out of the car, walked me around to the trunk and patted me down. Once he saw that I was sober and unarmed, he proceeded to give me the *** chewing of my life. The guy must have been a drill sargeant at some point in his life, because he was giving me flashbacks to R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket. He yelled at me for being stupid for a solid fifteen minutes. It was almost an out of body experience. He swore at me nonstop the whole time and pretty much never repeated himself. He had an endless supply of ways to call me a stupid ************. I wish I had a recording just to hear it again. After he finished tearing a new hole in my ***, I figured it was about time for him to take me to jail. I almost fainted when he told me that he was on his way home, he was late already, his wife was pissed and there was no way he was going to stick around for thirty minutes to wait for a squad car and tow truck. He looked at my license again and told me he lived not four blocks from my house. He informed me he wasn't going to forget about my stupidity, and if he and I ever had a reason to meet again I was going to jail no questions asked. Then he ordered me back into the car, and to GTFO of his sight. I saw that cop probably every week or two in passing in my neighborhood, and he never failed to wave at me. It wasn't the "hi, how are you" kind of wave. It was the "hey, dumbass, remember me? I remember you" kind of wave.

My first ticket ever.... I had a clean record before this.
60 on a 45 and he gave me a failure to obey highway ticket. I payed it off, which was like $94, it was a 3 pointer but should I have gone to court? Should I take a class to bump up my points? I am 19 and I will be 20 in a month and have been driving since 16. PS: He pulled me over as I turned into my neighborhood too... |

Got a ticket driving through mass early in the morning (2-3AM) I was the only car on the road and when i rounded the corner saw the cop. I pulled over before he even put his lights on, and he pulls up a little confused, asked if i was alright and i said yeah. Asked only to see my license, and came back like a minute later with a hand written ticket. Didn't even ask to see my insurance or registration. He spelled my name wrong on the ticket and had my license number wrong as well. Got a letter in the mail saying they revoked my license. Called them back to let them know that they probably got the wrong person suspended because that was not my license number, and they asked me what my real number was, i laughed and said yeah right... and hung up... never heard another word about it, its been over a year now
I was doing about 85-90 but the ticket said 80, and it was a 65 zone
