How big was your last ticket?

taranaki · 08-09-2002, 07:00 PM

Tickets are an inevitable part of driving Iguess,and the faster the car ,the more likely...

So who has been stung recently?

Not me...

...but then I am flogging diesel donkeys.

Despite the fact I often breach my license conditions, nope no tickets

I've gotten only 1 ticket ever, back in Nov. of 2000, for 10 over the limit. If I keep being my :angel: self for 3 months, it's off my record entirely.

The only tickets I've gotten the last few years are of the plane variety.

I got one 2 nights ago driving out the the airport, i thought it was a 75 but i got pulled over for doing 77 in a 50 zone, i don't know how much it is yet but i don't have to go to traffic school.

$170 NZD for 72kmph in a 50kmph

I was just matching the speed of the rest of the traffic (honest)

Managed to accumulate 80 points in two tickets in three months. 100 points in a year you're wearing shoe leather for six months - 100 points in two years it's only three months mooching lifts from mates.

The first was for 136kph passing some drunk at 11pm who I watched wobble around the centreline at 80kph for two miles before I found a clear straight to go past - the drunk then accelerated to 120 as I went to pass so I decided I'd had enough... I see lights in the rear-view mirror as he'd been following three cars back.

The policeman didn't want to hear about the explanation after noticing the skis in the back of the car... got a lecture about skiers always speeding... so after I listened to him I asked him to reset the hold reading on his radar and show me the calibration certificate.

Hint: Always ask to have the hold reading reset as unscrupulous officers could use the reading on someone else - and you can't prove a thing.

He looked very pissed when I insisted on having the reading reset.

The second was on a passing lane trying to pass four semi-trailers before we started climbing a big hill. Fortunately, I was in my car this time so when the radar detector went off I braked very very heavily. Mr Plod got me for 138kph which in the scheme of things wasn't as bad as it could have been as we'd been at Warp 9.

Also got a nice letter from the New Zealand Land Transport Safety Authority reminding me that I had only 20 points left.
