I just got my first speeding ticket this summer - California wanted me to pay my portion of the budget deficit.
The two other tickets I've gotten, not counting fix-its, have been for running a red light (rather unremarkable) and for running a crosswalk (this one was bullshit).

1 in 9 years (68/55) in my Eclipse GSX, which I should have fought- the CHP was really bitter about the stop and didn't even give me a chance to explain- I did have a relatively good reason. None in my RSX-S (knocks on wood)- the front resembles the wildly proliferating Foci around here...

I have been pulled over approximately 200+ times in the last 12 years (mostly loud exhaust and quite a few in a car that used to eat license plate lights like popcorn) and only received 3 tickets.
1. "unecessary noise" which was actually doing a burnout on private property, that got thrown out of court due to being on private property and the officer never appeared in court.
2 Not wearing a seatbelt when the officer watched me take it off while he was at my window but he was too intoxicated to recall apparently. He was fired 4 days later for being drunk on the job for the 7th time. That one got dismissed
3. I-75 in a Turbo 3rd gen Prelude, 146 in a 65 zone. Got it dismissed on a technicality (officer made a mistake that was looked at in the eyes of the law as entrapment) when it went to court and was threatened with a prison sentence by the judge if I was ever in his court again for so much as spitting on the sidewalk. I drive thorugh that area at 5 UNDER the speed limit now.
My record is currently spotless at 30 years old :knock on wood:

All the rest were a little after that. I haven't been pulled over in the last 5 or 6 years at all.
