Some states call that reckless driving and will impound your car on the spot.

I got a Photo Enf ticket from AZ doing 76 in a 65. Too bad they won't be getting anything out of me. :P

Got my first one after 5 months with the car in October. 51 in a 35. Luckily it was dark so the officer didn't see that I had no front plate too

Congratulations. 3 months away from being 4 years with my E90 and still no tickets.

It took me about a month to pick one up, but it wasn't for speeding. "Improper passing." I passed on a perforated yellow line but crossed back into the right lane on a double yellow. Speed limit observed too. The cops around here are awful.

One one ticket for me in a year and two months. 19 over, was a stupid speed limit anyways... Needless to say I don't go down that road anymore.

I hate driving through AZ, because they have all those "Photo Enforcement Zones" with those SUVs that take pictures if you're speeding. One of them took a picture of my car, but I still haven't heard anything (knock on wood)...

At least it wasn't a $300,000 ticket that this dude was hit with in Switzerland (where fines are based on wealth). Youch (not that he wasn't a douch)!

Many years a ago my dad got pulled over in Ohio for driving exactly the speed limit.
He was "impeding the flow of traffic" which was, I guess, something like 10+ over the speed limit. He got a warning.

i just got a ticket in my 11 year old mercedes convertible..the cop couldn't even do math..he saids that i'm going 15 over ie 48 in a 35..so i went back and he manually wrote 13 instead of 15 because he doesnt know how to use the ticket machine in his car..long story short, the guy is a jerk since i was driving on the beach and had no intention to speed. i hate the money making system for the state but no grudges as i considered it as an ocassional pit stop..oh yeah, he wrote me up another ticket for not having registration...what a gentleman!!
