Ive only gotten one ticket. and that was for running a red light. it was in my pick up, I was driving in a area that I didn't know and was lost. it was in the early morning. and the one thing I remember was that the stop lights all looked like they were lit up because of the morning sun light. I failed to notice all the stop cars at the intersection in time to make a full stop. I ended up hitting a car, managed to stop the truck enough to maybe hit her at like 5mph or less. no one was hurt. the only damage to my truck was one of my fog lights that weren't hooked up got busted up and one of the rubber "bumpers" on the push bars partly popped off. The she was driving for work and she said she had to call the police. if she wasn't she would not have. I've always had insurance. so that was not a problem. later to find out, it only caused about 1k in damages to her car. Which is not much. but it sure could have been a lot worse for sure! Every mistake has been learned from, for sure! which is why that was the last time I caused a accident. that was 7 years ago.

Well my first ticket ever was back 03 in my 2002 Camaro Z28, got pulled for doing 80 in a 65, did not have my license with me and cop wrote the ticket for $ 70.. $ 250 fine. Then back 06 I got pulled over in the 05 GTO for window tint. 3rd ticket in 08 driving 65 in a 65 cop said I was doing 93 since her had to do that for me. Cop never showed up for court but I dodged that $ 390 ticket. 4th Ticket in 08 with the 05 GTO *2nd ticket in 3 weeks*, 80 down the freeway, chp hit me with radar, ticket I happened to pay it because I was guilty and forgot to request a new trial. lol.. 4th Ticket 08 in the Honda Civic Si Sedan window tint.. 5th Ticket in my 94 Chev back in April for no front license plate, sheesh, I even have a cracked windshield in my dd *the 94 Chev* and he did not even write that down... I drive 70 - 80, if I want to guzzle gas 80 but 70 - 73 is the most I do now! Cops are getting worse out here because of the states economy!

Cheers,
Charlie
