That is not too bad.
I had my first accident two weeks after i got my license, another accident within 2 months.
In the next few months, I got two speeding tickets. (60 in 35, and 100 in 65)
My license was gone within 8 months. Suspended for 6 months.
BUt I am doing a lot better now, it has been more than 4 years since I got my last ticket.

Hope you'll learn your lessons (I am glad I did).

Re: Too many tickets only 17

hehe, sounds like me... 10 days after getting my license, I totaled my parents car. a month passes and they get a new one, guess what? like two weeks after that I crash it again... grrr, Im not lucky, but now its been over a year and I have my own car now. Everything has been safe and sound ever since.

Re: Too many tickets only 17

If you stack up this many tickets, you are doing something wrong.
Drive better (you know how) or else you will lose your licence, or lose your car due to high insurance and that will suck ass more than just obeying the rules of the road.

Re: Too many tickets only 17

or else get yourself a car that doesn't go that fast like an escort old preferably. they can go fast but you have to trust them alot if you take them over 80 or so. I am not dissing them but i know from experience i rode with someone who did not control his speed good enough and we went end over end i have to say though it was kind of fun watching all that stuff fly inside the car. they should have a simulator that recreates you in a roll over. That would be just sweet!!!

Re: Too many tickets only 17

I got a similar pr9oblem... got my license in october. Month and a half or two months ago i was being dumb and speeding, i had gotten lost and was trying to make it back home to not be too late for work, got pulled over by a county cop and got a ticket for 88 in a 50. This was on radar, I plan on investing on one of these online boosk to try and get that thrown out. But since im only 17, or cuz im not white, or cuz i have a red camaro, or the donut broke as the cop was trying to fuck it that morning, he also gave me a ticket for careless driving - even tho i was going pretty fast, i was in controla nd not weaving or swerving, so thats messed up. He also gave me "failure to keep to the right on a highway"... i was passing people, the signs say "keep right pass left" fuckin...
Any way, a week ago today (sunday), I was comign home from the shore in my dads car. I put on my blinker to turn left and quickly checked, saw noone in mirrors and noone close when i glanced back. I go into teh lane and cut the blinker, see a state trooper behind me and he turns on the lights and sirens. Pulls me over said i turned into his lane no turn signal or anything and "almost took [his] bumper off." he gave me tickets for failure to signal lane change and unsafe lane change... i was wondering wtf i put on the blinker. Turns out there were wiring problems and a service bulletin for my dads car, its getting fixed now so hopefully that one ticket will be gone, maybe the lane change one with it... but still i have 5 tickets to go to court for, or a provisional (17 yr old) license... goddamn government...

Speeding on any road can be interpeted as careless, regardless of whether you were in control or not. The fact the you were knowingly exceeding the speed limit (and being 17 with a Camaro isn't helping either) makes you guilty on all counts. If I was in law enforcement,
I would have given you same ticket.

And LareBear, you need to learn how to drive. You're not Schumacher, you're not Mackinen, you're a 17 year old kid. Drive the speed limit, it's not that hard.

Re: Too many tickets only 17

I'm on my fourth suspension, and I'm 25. And all I can say is get a Phaser radar detector. Mine got fried (long story), and that's when they piled up. Once you get that need for speed, you don't just give it up overnight. In Oregon if you get 4 or more tickets in a year you get suspended for a month. And then you have to go 3 years without a single one or each one will get you suspended another month, or 6 months, depending.
