No tickets yet in the Camaro. But I'm always real careful, easier since it's not my daily driver.

75 in a 55 was what the LEO said... He knocked it down to 64 in a 55 which in the great state of MN is not suppose to hit your driving record... Guess we will see on that one...

I had the camaro for less than half an hour and I got pulled over on the turnpike for 90 in a 65. Lucky me for me I happen to share the same profession as the guy that pulled me over

I honestly think the trooper just didn't like me. My buddy got a ticket for 20 over and it was only like $175.

256 should be a 20 over ticket in our state, are you positive the court read your citation correctly? 5 over should only be 105-115 unless you live in a money hungry county...

I don't really know what could have happened, but the trooper wrote $256 on the citation. I just know that I was a very upset citizen lol. Would the county matter since it was a State Trooper? I live in Gadsden by the way, in case it's known for that kind of thing lol.

bought the car April 21st and got my first ticket on April 28th. Just got my 2nd ticket at the end of July. Both times I was getting off an exit ramp and a cop happened to be there.

Well, I'm 49, and have been driving since I was 19. I only started driving when I went to college, and had to get a car. I have had 3 accidents(my fault no injuries), 3 fender benders(my fault), 1 hit-and-run(I had just started driving, the owner settled), 3 speeding tickets(what's there to say?), 2 moving violations(I had people in my pickup bed for one), 1 dui arrest(didn't stick, tired not drunk).

One thing I've learned in all my years of driving is this: you can replace a car, you can't replace a you. Just be careful, you don't know where the cops are at all times.

I am as careful as I can be, but the temptation gets the best of me. I'm not making excuses, I'm explaining what I do. I pick and choose so where I do it is safe with few to no cars in front of me. And I do it so it is random, I vary the time and location. Even still I take risks I shouldn't. I have been toning it down quite a bit lately so I get it out of my system. I've been fortunate. I don't condone speeding.
