  Have you had any traffic violations since you got your driver's license?

Traffic Violation:
A ticket that is given by law enforcement due to the violation of a law. There are many different types of traffic violations.

Allow me to list a few examples:

Yep,for a California rolling stop.
Before that,a ticket for a not having a drivers license(really didn't think that I needed one anymore,especially after driving without one for 8 years.)

I have had 4 (I think, may be 5) speeding tickets,
one ticket for running a red light (I didn't do it)
and another ticket for careless driving (I have to go to court for that one tomorrow)

nothing wrong with the California stop.
Didn't you know that you don't have to stop for stop signs that have a white border around them? lol

I've never had a driver's license. I did own a car for a while, about 20 years ago. I have never gotten a traffic violation. I don't drive very often. The only interaction I have had with the police whilst driving, was the time I got a jump-start from them, when I was having problems with my battery. They just happened to be the first car that came along. I was standing there with the hood open, and a set of jumper cables. I thought it was kind of funny. Not having a license and all...

Yes, many speeding tickets by patrol cars, lasers, radars and speed cameras.

HAVE I??

Well let's see. I hit a telephone pole. I hit a pedestrian, then I hit his car and another woman's car all in one fell swoop. I hit a big rock. I got hit by a drunk driver. When I got my new car, I forgot my OLD car was behind it and I backed right into the damn thing. I wiped out on an icy overpass.

There's probably more, but I've blocked them all out.

Insurance companies hate me.

This is a big reason I moved to NYC. You can get anywhere and you don't have to drive to do it.

Nope! She just so happened to be sitting up on a hill waiting to stop someone.That someone just so happened to be me.*frown*
She followed me 2 block to my house before putting on her lights,as I was pulling into my car driveway.What's up with that??I still don't get it...Anyways....
I ended up arguing with her that I had PAUSED at the sign before proceeding & she says "The sign said STOP not PAUSE."I don't know ...go figure.It was like 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning.How much traffic could there possibly be at that hour in dead city Murrieta????None..

It took a lot of time, and a lot of effort, but I did the most damage I could in very small period of time.

You could say I'm driven.

Oh God I crack me up. "Driven." I don't even have to put any effort into it, I'm just THAT clever.

"Driven." Oy vey. Yeah, that' a good one.

Other*smile*

I was issued with a parking ticket for parking over the time limit. But at the time, I was visiting my Grandma who was in the hospital, so I wrote to the council involved, giving them a big sob story on how my Grandma was desperately ill, and I couldn't park in the hospital carpark because, in my rush to get to the hospital, I forgot my wallet.
They wrote back and said that it was ok - I didn't have to pay*smile* *smile*
They ended their letter with "Just remember, the only reason you were able to find a park was because of these limits..." or something*smile*

I found a website that explains ways you can get out of getting a ticket if you are stopped. I'll find it again if it's still a concern for you.

I've never had a traffic violation in the 20 years since I got my license, because I haven't driven at all in that time. I never liked driving; the license was only in case I really had to drive.

I was so nervous and the judge talked so fast and slurred that I don't know what he said. I was too tense to ask him to repeat what he had said. I asked the baliff what he said and the baliff said he hadn't been listening either. So...I don't know how the court case went. *frown*
Thanks for asking though

I've been driving for almost 25 years. I had three speeding tickets when I was a teenager, and I've had several since then - 4 or 5 - and I've been pulled over a few times and just gotten warnings. But I haven't been pulled over for several years now.

When I still drove, I has a total of one(1) traffic ticket and that was for expired tags on the license plate. DMV forgot to send a reminder notice & I overlooked when the tags expired. Unfortunately for me, I got pulled over by a State Trooper. If it had been a city cop, I probably would have gotten off with a warning, but you can't talk your way out of a ticket with a State Trooper, it just doesn't happen! *frown*
