    Default How long

    have you gone without a ticket? I've been driving for around 2 years and I think I just got my first ticket tonight. I was in a hurry to get home so I turned on the left lane when the light was yellow and right before I passed the crosswalk it turned red. There are 4 cameras at each corner so I'm pretty sure they caught me. Damn, and I liked the fact of having a clean record(I know 2 years isn't ****, but it makes you feel good when all of your friends has had over 5 tickets)

    If the camera got you, you will get no points on your liscense because they can't exactly prove who was driving. you just have to pay the $50-75 fine whatever it is and its over.

    Longest period: ~2 years
    Shortest period: 2 days
    My current average is one ticket every six odd months.. that reminds me, I'm almost due for another ticket.

    I was pretty dumb when I was 16-17, got a couple stupid tickets, but I think it has been two or three years since my last ticket. I drive like a grandma now (comparatively).

    mrmf... I guess it depends on what you consider a ticket... I got a ticket for running a red light yesterday, but it's been a few years since I've actually gotten a ticket worth talking about.

    Hmm... I guess next time I'll slam on my brakes and let the city of Atlanta buy me a new ****box.

    I got a ticket about 8 months ago. 35 over. I went to court twice, represented myself and got of it with no charges or fines.

    I refuse to talk about it. I remember the last time I talked about it. I told someone that it had been exactly 1 year since I had any sort of run in with the cops....the next day I got a ticket...

    It has been about 2 years for me now. A speeding ticket and a tint ticket within 3 weeks of each other. Before those two it had been about 10 years without a ticket.

    Several months for me...worst part about it was it was in another state I was driving through, so I just paid it rather than driving the 4 hours back to try to fight it...
