You just got your first ticket? I got mine when I was like 16 or 17. It was so scary when you have that bright light directly behind you and you can't see anything. I was so scared thinking what's my dad going to do to me. I thought maybe he'd take my car away or something. I basically ended up getting yelled at real bad.
And then I proceeded to get so many tickets over the next couple of years that I ended up being suspended for a year. I got so used to being pulled over, that I'd have my license and registration ready for them when they'd come up to my window. Tehre's no explaining or asking for a break on my part. I'd be liek "here, write me up".
Lately I've been extremely lucky in that I've only been pulled over twice in like the last 5 or 6 years. One time he let me go with a warning because he was "en route to something else". And the otehr time the guy was like "why didn't you tell me it was your birthday?" And he let me go with a ticket for a broken taillight or something. I still speed just as much as I used to, but I'm just better at not getting caught. Speed limit on the highway around here is 55. And I average about 80 and will hit 95-100 every now and then and not even realize it.
