I hadn’t gotten a ticket since 2007 but I got popped going 90 in a 50 last year by a state trooper. My attorney was able to plead it out to something that required me to give them money and it went away, but it wasn’t an 894.

2007 was a 90+ mph ticket too. I bought a jeep recently, so that won’t happen again, unless I’m driving a different vehicle.

Haven't had one in 10 years or so, between the ages of 18 and 40 I probably averaged one and half a year (speeding) so I'm over 30 easy. Drove a company vehicle most all those years, got very few in it but when I was off work I was giving it hell. Spend thousands and thousands of dollars keeping them off my record. Only one accident in that time that was my fault, I was 20 and took out the arse end of a Mercedes in traffic one afternoon. I had already made the deal on a newer truck and I was running home to get the title for my truck, on the way back I had the accident. After the cops took everything down I drove to the dealership and parked back in the back, took the title in and drove off in my new truck. Still can't believe I never heard anything from that dealer, truck was fubr.

Don't think I could even count the total from my teens and twenties.

Last one was in 2014.

Houston PD barely does any real enforcement anymore outside of targeted areas or wrecks, so that helps.

~5 maybe
Last one- illegally going straight in a left turn only lane. In Houston and not familiar with the area. It was a sting operation. Cops have like 10-15 pulled over for same thing. Guess there was no real crime going on that day!

A dozen or so? Got probably half fixed. Last one was 3 years ago. Rolling stop at a stop sign. Been driving since I was 15 . First ticket was given to me for going 55 in 45. Cop followed me to my house . Wrote me up my driveway with my pops watching . Not proud of the number…. Our 4 kids? Maybe two tickets combined in a cumulative 60 years of driving… At least they learned from my mistakes.

2. Speeding. Improper lane usage.

I got caught escorting a buddy with a load from Texarkana to Atlanta. The cops didn't actually catch me but they did have my tag number and picked me up later in a midnight raid with a no-knock warrant, off camera.

About 5, last one was 3/30/2000, driving since 1966. Never been in an accident that was my fault. The last two accidents happened while I was sitting at a stoplight, once at College/Bennington and Jefferson/Goodwood. The one on Jefferson was a minivan that was transporting a body to a funeral home.
