Brag it up, members

Who has the best driving record.
How long driving? Number of tickets (and what for), suspensions, accidents (your fault or not)(and here I think Matt will have some wierd listings )
Brag it up.

What counts as the best? If you have 0 tickets; you're a weeny and need to get off the road.

If you have 100 tickets; you're too dangerous and stupid.

I would think if you have 0, then how can you be classified as a weenie? I would think if you have 0, then you would be pretty good at avoiding being caught, ergo, you would have to be a good driver to escape, don't you?:santa:

Naw. If you drive like I want to see you drive; odds are you'll get caught at least once.

I was speeding last week down the highway; saw a police bike and slammed on my breaks. ****** gave me a dirty look as I drove past cause he wasn't fast enough. HAHA

Man this is guaranteed to jinx you for sure.


Violations
Been driving for 14 years with no tickets.

Got 1 and beat it.

Have received about 6 warnings.

Got caught drag racing down a public street but didn't get anything...don't know how that happened.

Blew through one radar trap on the way to Ocean City when I was about 19 at about a 100 in my mustang. My buddy behind me in his Camaro....he called me and said GO GO GO he got stuck in the median....we floored it and jumped off at the next exit and took a million little turns to get lost quick.

Accidents -

1 when I was 16, my fault.
1 when I was about 19, my fault.


I've had nothing in probably 10 years though.

I ran a stop sign when I was 14 and the cop chased me for 3 hours straight, and then gave up when I never stopped. I was driving this:

Just kidding....

No tickets in many years. Some guys at work get them and I am amazed at how expensive they are. One guy was doing like 80 in a 55 and got a $450 ticket. He went to court and they reduced it to $425. He said they have new laws now and you don't get a big discount for going to court and pleading for mercy.

BTW Did you know our First Lady killed a fellow student in her high school days? Yep ran a stop sign.

I would have confiscated your cell phone. This is a pet peeve of mine.
QUIT TALKING ON THE GODDAMNED CELL PHONE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING!!!
As you can tell.

Tickets, 5 or 6, all speeding.

Accidents, 18, 1 my fault. Most of these my vehicle was not moving. Stopped and rear ended, backed into etc.

Driving since '68.

Driving 34 years, 3 speeding tickets.
Last one was 25 years ago.

Sure, I've gotten old. I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees.
Fought cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter
than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.
