My speeding ticket came first. I had just got my license and was doing 85 in a 55.

My first accident was a year later on a wet road and I thought it would be cool to fish tale around a turn. I pulled up my emergency brake and spun out into the rear end of an old lady driving a boat.

My first accident was in Lafayette, but I wasn't in the wrong. Someone rear ended me at a stop light. My first speeding ticket was the day I moved to Walker. I had just finished unloading the moving truck, and got caught doing a little bit over in the school zone next to the high school. When I explained that I was new in town and didn't exactly know the area yet, the cop replied with, "Then consider this your welcome to Walker. Have a nice day."

I've gotten pulled over multiple times for speeding but only got ticket once on I-49 at Washington. I was coming home from working in Arkansas and LSP was headed in opposite direction. I saw him pull into the median to cross over to my side and I knew I was busted. Clocked me at 85 in what was then a 70 mph zone.

My first and only accident happened a few years ago. I was traveling on I-12 between Hammond and Albany in pouring down rain when traffic ahead of me came to a sudden stop. I immediately began pumping the brakes but I slid a large distance and tapped the car in front of me.

First accident 16
First speeding ticket 16

I still speed everywhere I go except in neighborhoods. My speeding ticket count is far too high to remember them all. IIRC, last year I got probably 8, 6 of which came in three months

Both happened my freshman year at LSU within a month of each other.

My dad was pissed.

As speeding, none

I am about to go fight one next month where the cop pulled over three people, me being one of them. Thing was that I knew where the cop was a couple of miles before I got to him and had slowed down to the speed limit. People jammed on the brakes in front of me as we were passing him, and I got over into the left lane, still going 60, behind some people going 80. Said I was going 78 and wrote me up

I've never been in an accident while I was driving. My first accident as a passenger was when I was 21.

I was 16 when I got my first speeding ticket, in Brandon, MS.

So you admit you were speeding?

Yup, but he didn't catch me speeding, so there is no case
