How Many Tickets Have You Gotten!

[teggypimp95]

Well NOT including parking tickets. I have gotten 10, most of which i got off so i only paid a few. no demarits either:D They were for all differnt kinds of crap.


How many have you guys received?

[b_t]

Zero provided I beat my first ever ticket.. court date still isn't until the end of January, almost 10 months after I got the ticket..

Its not that hard

[gpomp]

0

[teggypimp95]

[QuasarCav]

[Melinda]

None

[shakalaka]

Just 1 speeding ticket. Got it like a week before I was leaving for Scotland. Didnt bother fighting. Jjust paid it.

[abyss]

none.

[handsomebassman]

4 in calgary, won 2 ( no payment or demerits). 1 in BC, havnt paid. Keep getting things in the mail saying i wont be able to insure my car in BC (despite me living in alberta, lol), and basically that they are going to rip me to shreds. Anybody know what can actually happen if i dont pay my BC ticket? It was like for $109. Do you think they will sent collection asses on me for just over a hundred dollars? My g/f seems to think so.

[dericer]

1 in 10 years, and that was because my speedo gears were fuct.

I think if you get pulled over next time your in BC, and you still havent paid the ticket, the cops will arrest you. I could be way off but this is what Ive heard, if I am wrong someone plz correct me.

[DC2]

zero:D

[FiveFreshFish]

Multanova on Deerfoot clocked me at 115. Ticket was $57 back in '96. No other tickets.

Yeppers, they'll keep hounding you to pay and you can leave it unpaid but if you drive into BC there will be a warrent out to arrest you. Your plate will be able to convict you via their computers

[Pee_Sack]

i dont understand why people fight tickets, you know you broke the law and you were aware of it while you were doing it(if you werent you shouldnt have a license) I have got 6 tickets and paid for them all

[teggypimp95]

I got 2 speeding tickets out of my pile. I paid for those but no demarits. I fight every one i can, i have had some tickets for some stupid shit so i got rid of them, and the police rake in enough money with all there crap im not supporting that shit.

[lude_grl]

for most people, its to fight the demerit pionts. certain number of tickets/pionts = increase in insurance.

i dont know how it works now, but thats how it was before the reforms.

edit: i had 1. back in 2001. the officer didnt like my "wide" tires. lol kinda my fault, but i was never hassled before.

Whats wrong with RCMP officers? They are better trained, harder training process, etc. etc.

I know a few quite well, always in my station. Lets just say I could not be driving if it wasnt for him :D

I have 1 pulled over, and 1 photo radar. Thats it, all all there will be.

Cuz I'm pretty sure even though people know they messed up, they just don't wanna pay for it. I mean I sure as hell don't want to, who does? I just go to talk to the crown to get the demerits taken off.

I got 3, 2 were getting pulled over, and 1 was photo radar. Got the demerits off the ones where I got pulled over.

[Kirbs17]

1.

118 in an 80.

Got ticket reduced to $128, from $250. And from 2 demerits to 1.

no other tickets or infractions.

[gen2teggy]

32

[FatboyTheHungry]

2 multi-nova
1 regular speeding ticket
1 failing to stop at a stop sign (didn't do the full 2 second count)
1 failing to merge safely (cut off another driver and the cop was watching...)

[Clever]

2 Speeding Tickets.


1 was for going 77on 60, on Glenmore, right before the 14th Ave Exit, the day they lowered the limit to 60, right before that it was 80 up until you pass 14th.


1 for going 104 on Anderson, got flagged.


Paid both tickets but no demerits.

[R!zz0]

3 Speeding tickets, 2 for not wearing my seatbelt and 1 for stunting and 2 for tinted windows. 2 For not having my car registered.

[cman]

[Kobe]

Sounds like my July. 1 ticket for "disobeying traffic control device" (wen't around a detour barrier), $172.....

One for being 54km/h over on Glenmore late at night, $351

JOTP dropped the demerits on the first ticket, but I got 6 for the second.

My record was finally cleaned off just a couple months before that, too :banghead: I was paying $65/month for loaded insurance :banghead: :banghead:

yes, or get someone to represent you, such as Pointts.

[jepree]

7 in two years fought off 5

[mo_money2supe]

Just 1 speeding; got pulled over going 140 in 110 on QE Hwy going up to Edmonton.

Within an hour and a half later, when I arrived in Edmonton, I *accidentally* rear-ended someone because the roads were too slippery for me to stop from 5 km/h to 0, and then within 24 hrs later the next day, I hit a curb and slit the tire on the side, thus making it unrepareable. Yeah, as they say, bad things tend to happen in sets of 3. :banghead: :banghead:

[frostyda9]

Oh...and on this topic, IIRC Legendboy has had enough tickets to wallpaper a small apartment :rofl: Somebody must have that pic saved...

[izzoblitzo]

Just one - a photo radar! I was 10 over. I thought I was in a 60 zone.. but it was a 50. Learned my lesson... move on with life. :D

nice to see a suprising picture in my mail though!

[Raz2]

No, they are douche bags.

[l8braker]

1 speeding, 1 tint and 2 multi-nova's.

[lastprodigy]

[Grip172]

maybe 4....got one taken off the record now cuz its been 5 years haha

i have NEVER had a ticket in my prelude tho...sweeeeet

[Euro_Trash]

3
First one was a very easy fight, judge actually laughed at the cop (30 zone, ticket for going 30, cop said the "road conditions were too bad"

Second one, going to a Final Exam in review in Edmonton from Calgary, going 160 cuz I knew I was going to be late, cop coming other way. He knew a little about Corrado's and loved them, chatted a bit about the car, he dropped the ticket down to 130 km/h

Last one, was playing designated driver, 90 in a 70

[Grip172]

oh yeah i remember in my accord lol 158 in 110 zone..that hurt the wallet and i got one in the company truck 132 in 110 zone

i never speed around rural areas....only go over the posted speed limit in good conditions on the higheway

or in my old truck off the highway..then rip haha

Nothing is wrong with the RCMP. Those open roads are just so tempting in Springbank. I've deserved every ticket i've got but one (long story). I don't have a problem paying them, i've done the crime, i'm just a chince so I like to get them reduced. :D

[hoppy2018]

6 tickets
High Insurance is a bitch

[Azn563]

10 won every time
except for my first 3 photo radar
and fighting one in april

[infected]

Zerooooooooo (knock on wood)
Had a lot of close calls though... :angel:

[SuPhistiKatEd]

Nada....None....Zero....Zilch.....and I plan to keep it that way. I wish they would reward us "good" drivers and not let the others spoil it for us.

hahahahah

[88CRXGUY]

0 speeding tickets
1 ticket for headlight burnt ( I was going to get it fixed, got the ticket anyways) CRAP.

Alot of very near misses. Going upto edmonton doing 160, cop was on the grass median pulling people over. He was flagging people to the other side. Me and four other people just kept on driving. 1 out of the 5 that drove by was caught, buddy in the front..haha..

[Krups]

I got 5 tickets in 3-4 months, thats about 1100$

Hey, how do you guys fight them ? I got caught doing 99 in a 70 zone at midnight with no one around me, how could I fight that ? I don't want 3 demerits on my license :banghead:

[kevie88]

I lost count at 32.. That's over the 16 years I've been driving tho. I have gotten off of so many it's rediculous, you really owe it to yourself to fight all tickets. I got a 104 in a 50 earlier this year ( cop completely lied about my speed) and I got it reduced to 75 in a 50, which was the actual speed I was going so I can't argue with that.

For some reason I get more tickets in my '85 Civic with all of 50hp then I do with my 130hp superbike or my RB 240. Maybe it's because I drive around pinned everywhere in the Civic.. haha


Fight em all!! :whipped:

[Speed_69]

just 1 ticket for unsafe left turn

[AJL]

nada:D

[2000_SI]

2 speeding tix, One I got a forgivance on, the other I won because the cop had guessed my speed when I was driving up to him, didnt actualy clock me with any equipment....

[Rockski]

3 photos and one pull over, all speeding

[Mr. Burns]

I have had many tickets, but ATM there is only one on my record.

[Team_Mclaren]

:thumbsup: No low end torque + louder than stock exhaust = the Honda WOT disease, enjoyed by many

[in*10*se]

10 tickets = 1300ish... 2 have shown up on my record and i have paid about 400ish

[EG_Civic]

2 speeding, one in playground goin 43km/h and one goin 80 in 50 zone at night. but cop wrote down 10 over (anyone know, if i fight this one.. would i win?)

[shawtie]

2 - 1 when I was going 65 in a 50 zone , and the second was way back when I only had my learners and I was going 45 in a 30 zone.....and to top that off I forgot my license at home but the cop was REALLY good bout it and only gave me a ticket for not having my license! hehe

RCMP is one of the easiest police department in Canada to get into. CPS is toughter. EPS has the hardest physical test in North America.

No offense to the Mounties, though. They are superb cops and have the second nicest uniform in the world.

[Wakalimasu]

2 spding tickets

1 multi nova back in 2001?

and 1 pull over back in 05 of 2002 :thumbsdow


now i dont subscribe to the speed tax :p

[DSMer4Life]

140 in a 110 on the way to Edmonton - $178
70 in a 50 in the NW in an area I was unfamiliar with - $90ish

Both were a long time ago, were pull over style and I didn't fight either since I didn't know any better at the time.

[anyone]

1 total - in my moms 1987 Buick (113 in a 100). None in my dads 930 turbo = lucky. None in my MX3 (that is currently stolen), even though every friday and satuday night in the summer I was out with the guys in Edmonton at UC, WEM, and South Edmonton Common theatre.

[Eken9]

0, I can't afford to break the law:burnout:

[NickGT]

1 ticket when I was 17 years old.

I bought my first mustang, a 1990 dark blue coupe. Well it came with tinted driver and passenger windows. First week I drove it I got nailed for it by calgary police. The next day I tore it off.

Been clean ever since. In fact my insurance rates were just cut in half as of yesterday when I opened my renewal notice!

[Phukaduck]

2 photo radar
5 in calgary in area speeding
1 in toronto speeding
3 tint
1 illegally colored fog lights
2 stunting
1 illegal turn
1 more than one copy of drivers liscence.
and a whack of parking fines.

The reason you fight a ticket is cause the system will allow it. It benefits you. and it's free.
For those who feel they are guilty and that's that... you can still plead guilty to the crown prosecutor and request a reduced penalty for some reason or another be it fanancial desperation, or fisrt offence or i had to pee real bad... seriously they all work.

of all the tickets i've had I've never been required to pay face values of any of them. sometimes they reduce demeritts, sometimes they reduce fines. sometimes they're thrown out.

i've only twice taken a ticket to court. the rest of the time the crown prosecutor will sort the matter out before hand. and it can be delt with as soon as 10 days after you get the infraction.
this is preferred because if you're guilty then any demerits are recorded on your driving record from the date of conviction and not the day you got the ticket. taking a ticket to court can add up to 6 months the the time it takes for the ticket to come off your record.

taking the ticket to court is great if you have a solid case. and you can in crease your odds of the officer not showing up if you call and post pone your court date because you "can't make it" officers will schedule all their appearances on one day. so the further from his schedule that you can post pone the court date, the less likely he is to be able to attend. you're allowed 3 post ponements per infraction.

this is stuff i've learned from personal experience and internet research. I know this works for me and i'm not responsible for anyone else's problems on this matter.

good luck with the law.
and try not to break it. it's the best way out of a ticket.

[HTN SWCHS]

1 fail to signal
2 no proof of insurance
1 no proof of registration
1 headlight ticket

[CKY]

[stevieo]

[jcrules99]

4 speeding, 1 red light camera, 1 cuttin semi off in school zone.. :banghead:, 1 school zone speeding, (same time, 600 bucks for both) ummm i think thats it

[gp36912]

1 but it was a stupid u-turn ticket, shit were the cops rough i mean it was a deserted road, no traffic for 200 meteres both ways. so i appealed and had demerits tooken off and dropped the payment to 1/4.

other than that, just parking tickets for being 30seconds over the one hour zone... stupid cop i was in class taking a test, and i was the only one ticketed.... 5 cars that were parked in front and behind me were there when i got there and i was the only one with a ticket. :thumbsdow :thumbsdow
