Once in my life. 83 in a 65 and that's after I saw the cop and hit the brakes. Some kind of speed trap, several cops were sitting on an overpass and pulled over about 5 cars including mine at once.

Never had a speeding ticket in the 32 years I've been driving in this state.

The last time I got a speeding ticket. Wait, let me rephrase that. The last time I "knowingly" exceeded the posted speed limit was 1996. I was doing 35 in a 20 mph speed limit. From that moment on, I swore that I would never again break a traffic law. I put about 22,000 miles a year on my vehicles and I can honestly say that 14 years later, I have not once knowingly broken a traffic law (or any other law for that matter).

You asked.

Been driving since 1969, 3 moving violations: Crossing over a double yellow on a curve and two rolling stops. My low insurance rates reflect this.

Care to reconcile that with this post where you claim to street-race people whom you reckon shouldn't be passing you?

WOW......thats some statement... I'd like to meet you in person... The only other person that was that "saintly" that walked this earth died some 2000 years ago on the cross, and rose 3 days later and sitting at the Right Hand of God (In Heaven)...... And I don't think that the Lord drives a car....
