STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE!!

Seriously though, just go the speed limit and you will rarely get pulled over. I used to speed as well, until I realized that getting to my destination 1-5 minutes quicker just isn't worth it. Since I stopped speeding, I almost never get pulled over(and when I do, I somehow get let go).

Also remember driving is a privilege, not a right. I love driving, but you won't appreciate what you have until you lose it. Be smart, drive safe.


I agree very much so with the bold part.
I feel no sympathy for you as my life would be a lot easier if there weren't so many reckless drivers on the road.

a cop giving you a ticket for going 70 on 60 is a fucking douchebag. learn to read traffic though

if you were inebriated the cop probably knew you were so you deserved the 45mph ticket

cops waiting at the downhill to get people are douchebags, but you were going 47 on a 30 thats retarded as fuck. protip: don't hit the gas on downhills

I've been driving for ~9 years now. I got one ticket not 2 months after I got my license. I've never gotten another one since.

Here is what I do. You know the "noone" else is around bs? Yeah, that is when you drive slow as crap. When there is a bunch of traffic, and most are at or slightly over the speed limit anyways, then going another 5-10 will hardly get you noticed. Just stay mostly with the flow of traffic and you'll be fine 99% of the time. Oh yea, and never drive if you've had ANYTHING alchoholic to drink. If you do, you're just an idiot plain and simple.

Also, pro-tip, I've never known anyone who got pulled over for going 70 in a 60..... I'll bet it was more like 80 in a 60, and he just put 10 over because going 20 over can be a ticket of ~$400 or more, and most cops really aren't douchebags.

If you drive to work everyday shouldn't you already know where the cop "hotspots" are? I know by heart all the hotspots around my neighbourhood and my body naturally reacts (i.e. drives within the speed limit). They're also probably there for a good reason - I know that someone died from getting hit by a speeding vehicle on a particular spot around, and a cop camps that spot pretty often nowadays.

Don't drink and drive. Period. Forget the legal alcohol limit or whatever, just don't drink and drive.

I don't think driving is the problem. I think you should just learn to be... well... less dumb.

With all the risks involved ...

Idiocy, don't drink and drive. Don't use a car if you can't afford the expenses you plan on having (gas, insurance, repairs, checks, tickets).

Speeding is meh, you break the law, you get caught, you pay up. Think of it as payment for getting to the destination faster sometimes. You just dont pay a bit every time you go speeding, you pay a lot when you get caught.

As for drinking, ask for a blood test if it's that low. By the time you get to the hospital, with a bit of effort it should be quite low.

On the other hand don't fucking drink and drive, ever. You'll be held accountable for any accident you have if you're drunk. On top of that you're under 21 and you're not even supposed to have a drop of alcohol in your blood. Still, even if you turn 21, DON'T EVER FUCKING DRINK AND DRIVE. You'll know why after your first crash after a beer or 2. Especially if it's not really your fault but you're still drunk. Was how a cousin of mine stopped drinking anything when driving. Think shitting his pants in fear of being accused for something that wasn't his fault did the trick.

As the people above have mentioned cops don't really give tickets for 10 above the limit. It's within their devices' tolerances usually. Your car also shows higher speed than real, the higher real speed the more inaccurate the meter is (usually up to 10 miles above real speed on the speedy end of the car).

I will never get people that break the law but seem not so ready to pay for it. Always be sure you can handle whatever comes your way when you cross the line. Or else just don't.

Amazing how many people don't understand this concept... But these days, the media and lawyers, working together, are trying to convince people that personal responsibility doesn't and shouldn't exist.

Get fat? Blame McDonalds. Get hurt being a moron? Blame the property owner.

Get a ticket? Blame the cop.

hahaha this is hilarious.

i mean once you get older sure you can try drinking like a single beer and then driving if your tolerance is high. but what kind of idiot drinks and drives when hes under 21. I am all for underage drinking but damn, you are just asking to get caught.

I had a similar experience with drinking and driving

I was 22 at the time
Drinking age is 19 in Ontario
I blew less than half of the legal limit
But I was a G2 driver .. I spent over 3.5 years on a G2 being too lazy to go for my G test. As a G2 driver you are permitted a Blood alcohol limit of ZERO.

But I was and still am understanding the entire blame is put on me.

I received a 30 day mandatory suspension from the ministry of transportation
I was booted off of my parents insurance as a secondary driver.. One full year AFTER the incident.
The cheapest insurance I could find, as a secondary driver, was over 8,000 a year. 19,000 as a primary driver.

Hey! Just take responsibility for your actions. Lord knows i'm still paying for mine lol T_T

Wow, stay off the road. It will save peoples lives and save you some money.

+ Show Spoiler +
I have gotten zero tickets so far while driving. I don't drive at or below the speed limit most of the time. It comes down to common sense and also owning a car that doesn't have the front end tilt forwards when applying the brakes before getting to a ghost car.

Maybe I am indeed a very very conservative driver. And don't drink. But for the love of god, don't underage drink and drive.

Also, you might want to get a really cheap used compact car. Because if you are spending that much on gas in that distance you're probably driving an Abrams tank.

If this guy has an abrams tank we are all doomed.

Alright. Point taken.

I have never gotten a ticket (nor would I drink at all and drive either and if I were to drink a beer or something then drive I wouldn't be retarded and go to fast so I can get pulled over).

In my almost 4 years of driving I go 5 above the speed limit and haven't been pulled over so why don't you just slow down a little bit? I am surprised you got a ticket going 70 in a 60 but the 45 over 30 is just why would you do that? Also you are driving at midnight and speeding a lot thats where cops love to pull people over encase they have been drinking or smoking pot or doing who knows what.

At least where I live driving at night is where you want to stay like the speed limit as thats when cops aren't as nice about not pulling people over.
When I think of something else, something will go here

So basically, driving sucks for you because you speed and drive around with alcohol in your system. If driving sucks so bad then please stop, I'm sure other people on the road will thank you for it.

Seriously, you are on a great track to kill someone. Drinking and driving is fucking dumb.

Personally, I always drive 10 over but always drive safely by keeping distance and having 100% attention of the road (never been pulled over). Although 10 over is kinda the norm anyways. New Hampshire, live free or die.
