Default Which cars draw the most tickets?

This is shocking considering I considered getting a Scion tC (and test drove it) but ended up with an xB which is right below it. Admittedly I did get my first speeding ticket last year (I've since slowed down) going 89 in a 65 (I would only speed on the highways). The cop was nice enough to reduce it to an 85 in a 65 which saved me $250.

And I thought going 15 mph over the speed limit is too fast and very risky on getting a speeding ticket for me personally, but seeing how fast you go over your very brave to do that. And yes you are lucky on having the cop reduce your speeding ticket

The thing is Oregon has some of the lowest speed limits in the country, in the past I've been used to higher speed limits because I lived in Florida and California. I've mellowed since I've gotten my first speeding ticket, now I rarely go over 70.

The ticket I got was in April, so its been nearly a year.

WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DID IN CALIFORNIA.....



sorry, I saw that on a truck the other day, lol....Yeah it took me some adjusting to after I moved up here from L.A. I still drive over the speed limit, only to keep away from other people. It's not speed that kills around here, it's drunks, sleepy heads, and people not paying attention...in that order.

Staters are pretty much everywhere and the cars I see pulled over the most are Hondas

My first and only speeding ticket was in Michigan 88 in a 55 and I was slowing down ;) ( I was running about 95 or more) Sheriff was not to happy - I was on a back road and really in danger of hitting deer than anything else. Not the smartest thing to do and I was a lot younger.

Once you get over 60mph you are only shaving a few seconds off your arrival time so anything faster isn't getting you there much faster.

Once you get a little older you realise there really is not anything to be in a hurry for.....I always jsut leave 5 minutes earlier to everything and enjoy my nice steady pace......being in a hurry almost killed me at age 17 and again at age 22......

Couldn't you just have pulled the old crying routine and got out of it like all girls do? ;)
