in your driving history? Include stops that didn't include chargeable tickets( verbal warnings), tickets that led to a conviction or not and your most serious offense
myself about 10-11 times since getting my license in early 1979, the most serious offense was going thru a red light and not wearing seatbelt in the mid 90's
I think 5 since I started driving in 1995. Even outran the cops one time and got away with it because he couldn't get turned around fast enough. I was young and stupid then.
I've probably been stopped 15+ times. Mostly when I was younger, verbal warning for hanging around the street races and having modified exhaust, tint, etc. Nothing terribly serious since then, I got one for speeding a few years back, a 74 in a 65. That was the speed of traffic at the time.

Twice. One for running a red and I got a ticket for. The other I drove without my headlights on at night and the cop thought I was a drunk driver because I had come from a bar. I didn't drink that night and when I explained that my car was new and I didn't know it that well to turn on the auto headlights (I still had the temp tags on it for Christ sake he let me off with a warning. The cop didn't even bother asking why I was driving with a Kentucky license in a Virginia registered car.
I'm 67 now but by the time I was 18 I had lost my license 3 times, once for a year for drag racing. I did get stopped a few times up until my mid 20's, mainly for vehicle issues (slicks, loud pipes, etc) After that I never got another ticket until I was about 45 and I deserved that one, I was moving about 80 in a 45 at about 2 am. The cop could have gotten me for lots more, but he took pity on me and reduced the speed he clocked me at.
That was the last time I got stopped, and now I even drive around in a hot rod with open headers and cops will sit next to me at a light and leave me alone. They see that I am not a kid and am not driving like an idiot, which I guess plays into them being reasonable about it.
But I did get pulled over one night not long ago when I was leaving my shop at 1 am. A Sheriff pulled me over and wanted to know what I was doing back in the industrial park at that hour. I told him I was working late and I thanked him for keeping an eye on the area for us. I even called his supervisor the next day and thanked them for being so watchful.
Eh....about 20-25 times. Most stops were bogus but suburban cops tend to have nothing else to do. I've had my license for about 12 years and I drive for a living.
