yes and I had to pay 100 some odd dollars. it wasn't like I couldn't afford it but it wasn't entirely my fault.  I was on a highway and it turned into a town quickly and the speed limit dropped 30 MPH.

I was pulled over once coming back from vacation.  I was driving thru Louisiana and a cop pulled me over but I really think it was because I had Texas license plates because I was NOT speeding.  I had my cruise control on and was in with a lot of traffic coming over a hill.  He got pretty huffy with me when I told him I had my cruise control on and was not speeding.  I dropped the agrument pretty quickly because he was pretty intimidating!  It was over 2 hours from my house so I just mailed the fine in after calling to see if I could protest over the phone or fax a statement to them.

I've been pulled over three times, all for speeding.
The first time I was pulled over, I was not given a ticket.
The last two times I was pulled over, I was given tickets, both for under 10mph over the limit.

Darn it!

Once when I was coming home from the hospital after sitting through my mother's surgery and my father-in-laws stroke...all on the same day.  The law enforcement officer asked me: why do you think you were going over the speed limit. I replied, "I know exactly why I was going over the speed limit" and proceeded to tell him of my horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad day.  It was almost comical because I'm the slowest driver in the whole world.  He still gave me a ticket, but lessened the speed so it wouldn't go on my insurance.

In my twenties I got pulled over a lot!  :-\

Since I've grown up, I have only gotten 2 speeding tickets in 17 years :-)

The last one being about three years ago. In that one I was going 40 (the posted speed) when children were present - I should've been going 25.

There were very few children walking that early in the morning which is why I didn't notice them. Nevertheless, the cop has to hit his quota and I should've been paying more attention to the possibility that kids would be out that early in the morning.

I've been pulled over for speeding a few times. I've only got a ticket twice. But it's very expensive and makes me feel irresponsible. I try to keep my speed within the legal limits. I do all highway driving so it's hard when you get off and have to keep it at 35 or 40.

yes several times.  I like to drive and will drive long distances....when you drive alot your probably bound to get some tickets in your life.  I try not to speed too much though.  Have a nice day.

I have been pulled over a bunch of times for a bunch of different reasons. I believe I have been pulled over for speeding about 5 times in 20 years. I had to take a test awhile back so I could keep my licence.

It actually wasn't a speeding ticket. There were two red lights and this lady kept weaving back and forth between the 2 lanes. She went left and I punched. I get nervous I tend to ramble. I was telling the officer that pulled me over and they let me go and went after her. Believe me I was freaking I try to follow the law. I tend to have a lead foot lol.
