(17,862 posts)4. Three speeding tickets in 42 years
One wasn't mine. It was the guy who passed me in the fog. I almost always keep it less than 5 mph over the speed limit. One was when I was a young driver and accelerated too much on the on ramp to avoid traffic. The other would have been 5 mph over going to church if they hadn't just dropped the speed limit by 10 mph (so 40 mph in a 25 mph that I thought was a 35 mph). I went back and looked at the sign later, and I went how did I miss that?

Over the past 53 years of having a ME driver's license, nothing but a parking tic or 2.

Five I think in 57 years. The last one was an illegal U-turn in front of a cop.
