And both men and women who wear nurse's unforms.

A male co-worker of mine got a ticket a couple month's ago and he bemoaned the fact he wasn't wearing his nurse's uniform on his day off, as he'd gotten off the last time wearing his uniform on his way to work.

Invest in a nurse's uniform. $20 or so, a small price to pay for an experiment.

I heard once about a saleswoman who had to drive a lot for her job, and she had trouble keeping her speed down and kept getting tickets. She was on the verge of losing her license, so she started dressing like a nun, and it helped her get warnings instead of tickets.

If I had to drive a lot for work, I'd be getting tickets right and left. I have a lot of trouble driving slowly. The only thing that keeps my ticket count down is that I only drive about 8,000 miles per year, and take public transportation to work.

A red Porsche is about as far as you can go to attract LEO attention.

I managed to get 2 tickets in a white Chevy Nova. And none so far in either BMW I have owned. Talk about incongrous.

A couple of years ago I got my very first one and the judge threw it out. Now a couple of weekends ago, at the age of 36, I got one and there was no denying I was doing 72 in a 55. I thought I had crossed the NC line where it is 70 but I was still in VA where it was 55. uhoh.

You need to go back to the Porsche. That sounds more exciting.

72 in a 55 is nothing. You barely got your feet wet. No worries.

I never really minded getting a well-deserved ticket. A ticket for going a wide margin over the speed limit (in a situation where it's safe) is like a badge of honor....

Believe me, no one could wait with more longing for the speed limits to raise more than me. And my wallet !!! Best ticket i got? Going up the divide pulling the 48 ft racecar trailer. Officer said it took him 3 miles to catch me. He was gald I had stopped at the top for the senic view. he wrote me for 85 in the 55 instead of what he clocked me.
