Yes, I have done it! I got a ticket this morning in the Aveo!
[image removed by user]
Basically I got pulled over for 47 in a 30 construction zone (which automatically is suppossed to double your ticket). But since I had a client with me who is mentally handicapped I got off with a 39 in a 30 and no construction. Now I'm not saying I am trying to use a mentally handicapped person as a reasont to speed and get out of tickets, that's just how the circumstances worked out this time. So all I have to do is pay a $120 fine and it won't go on my record or be reported to my insurance (thank godness too because I'm close to losing my licnese and lord know I don't need to pay anymore insurance)

It's still a speeding ticket it will go on your driving record. It's a moving violation

well we have a law or something here where if you get a speeding ticket and it's within so much mph of the speed limit all you have to do is pay a fine and it wont go on record or get reported to insurance

In Illinois, the state police will NAIL YOU TO THE WALL if you get caught speeding in a construction zone, even if no workers are present. You got lucky, dude. HOPEFULLY your insurance company won't find out.

ummm never gotten pulled over because I am pretty keen on looking for cops and seeing them before they see me. Also I pretty much know every place they do speed traps in my town, but if I happen to get pulled over I got a state police had and a name to drop to get myself out of it. It is a good when your dad fixes all the state police cars at the local barrack

i dont know any cops, but i do know the county undersherriff (he was my marketing teacher in college.) I know a lot of potential speed traps area in my town, but with all the construction and many different areas in town it's hard to know all of them and remember all the time

Thats only because they think Teens are the worst drivers on the planet. I have never ever gotten pulled over, as I know all speed traps and am concious about where Police are.
Funny thing is though...You know how those "soccer moms" complain about how bad teens drive and whatnot, well...next time look at how they drive. I was doing 50 in the 45 zone that leads to Trans Mountain, when a minivan comes by and blows my doors off...probably about 65 or so. She was on a cell phone, 4 kids in the back, and she was putting on makeup. She even swerved several times. And yes, it said "Soccer Mom" on the rear of it. Its sad, really.

Thats why I cant wait till I finish school and become a cop, I wanna get on those women putting make up on, and I want to put 5% window tint on my car without getting in trouble.

i got a 51 in a 35 last august, its the only speeding ticket i've ever had(kinda ironic that i got it in the slowest car i've ever owned) i wasnt paying attention and there was a motorcycle cop behind a big bush on the sidewalk, i was going with traffic but i think i got the ticket cause my car is yellow and it stands out.
