What traffic offences have you been ticketed for?

As the title asks, What have you been ticketed for in the past. If more than once for the same offence then tell us.

I have received 8 speeding tickets and 3 other tickets in over 40 years on the road. 2 of those 3 other tickets and 2 speeding tickets, I was found not guilty when it went to court.

Never received any tickets, been driving & riding since 1974.

Received a ticket for "Failing to stop short of another vehicle" when I crashed my car. It was fair enough I thought, considering the alternatives. Just a tad gutting at the time as my car was destroyed, and my excess to get the other cars fixed was $900.

speed, speed, speed, speed, wof, reg, speed, speed, speed, speed, speed

Gives an idea of ratios.

Back in the days too I got warnings for restricted with passengers in car & not wearing 'L' plate on bike. Oh and arrested for wearing my motorbike helmet.

Hmmmm 7 odd tickets, four for speed and three for other reasons (two for failing to stop within... Blah blah blah and one for no current rego.)

The two important points on this of course are that i speed more than i run into the back of other people or drive without rego and that it doesnt count the countless speed camera fines which would have easily doubled the speed numbers.

How did you get off the speeding tickets as I,m up soon and its my word against the coppers-guess who will win.....

**jim.cox** · 7th September 2011, 16:11

speed, failure to stop at stop sign, no wof, no reg, speed speed speed and more speed...

Bike tickets - only ever three plus one warning:

First two came when I was a beginner rider - viz: Failing to keep left on a corner and wrong class of license. Both at the same time. I'd had the bike about three days IIRC. 1968.

Later: Warning for crossing a railway crossing before the bells had stopped. The cop was right beside me. The barriers came up and I went through - about two seconds before the bells stopped. Copper was incredibly angry and roared and snorted about it for about five minutes non-stop. And then gave me a warning. I think he must've had menstrual cramps...1974.

Later still: Speeding x1. I was testing the ignition timing on my Benelli Supersport 250 on the straight just east of Maungaturoto. Local copper was hiding behind the milk factory and bloody got me down the straight. Bastard. Lucky for him his kid wasn't in my class at the school...1975.

No more since then.

Which means I am either a) really law abiding, b) really lucky or c) really cunning. You choose which...

1 Speeding ticket. 1 ticket for no WOF & Rego and 1 speeding conviction (does that count as a fine?)

**sleemanj** · 7th September 2011, 16:18

Wof/Reg, both on car. Nothing other than that, but only though luck

**Parlane** · 7th September 2011, 16:24

Speed - $300
Speed - $400
Failure to giveway - $150

All in car..

Nothing on bike. (Haven't been riding long enough for statistical probabilities to catch up to me)
