My most retarded ticket was 38 in a 20....on my bicycles in Moab Utah...yeah i said it...on my bike...
or maybe it was the flashlight ticket i got once... A cop searched my truck on night and left his flashlight in there...so i was like...sweet....a flashlight just for me...even has SCSO carved on it (Shoshone County Sherrif's Office) and a bunch of numbers....then about 30 minutes later i get pulled over by the same cop who realized what he had doen and gave me some bogus mud flap ticket so he could get his flashlight back, he wanted to give me a ticket for having sherrif office property or something, i told him to go F himself since he left it here, and told him they would give him another one, and that ill fight the ticket if he takes the light away, lol. (i should have just let him have the light and get the ticket for mudflaps pulled, lol) he felt so stupid that he let me keep it...the guy was on drugs or drunk...i still have it, its in my car...lol
and the worst speeding was like 120 in a 60, i was seeing what she would do one day up this big arsed hill and got caught. But my radar detector detected him and i ripped the brakes as hard as i could...my car endo'd i think and he picke dme up at 76 but wrote it for 74 so i dint have to pay the big fine
other than that...ive had alot of misteminors, but nothing toooo bad

Worst speeding ticket was 70 in a 55. Driving a 1978 Thunderbird that belonged to my Dad...had the cruise control set, radio playing some classic rock tunes, driving down a long flat two-lane blacktop. Got caught by a cop hiding in an unmarked car by the side of the road, with an assist from the state patrol's airplane.

$500 for reckless driving by speed (15 or greater over in a residential area). I was doing 61 in a 45. Dismissed after I pointed out it was a divided highway and not residential, and apologized to the court for speeding. It was my first and only ticket in almost 20 yrs of driving.

Learners permit - midnight after work - clocked first at 138km in a 60km zone still accelerating - reclocked 148km in same 60km , came to my turn hammered on the brakes, just as the cop was reclocking me - final - 118km in a 60km
The cop not happy the first clock would of made me speeder of the week, double the limit is automatic suspension. Glad my turn came when it did.
Still cost some serious cash and time.

Actually my worst ticket was when I got two flat tires, walked home to get a second spare and come back with my brother and find a cop giving me a ticket for abandonment, and he checked the court appearence box. That made my day!

not too long ago me and my friends almost got a ticket for running astop sign on our bikes (as in pedal bikes). We did some very light drinking and were completely sober but still didnt think it would be smart to drive. So we were riding around and when we got to the beaches we heard a cop yell at us to come to where he was. So we go over there and he was mad that we ran it and threatened to give us a ticket. That was so much crap. I assume he called us over too see if we would run or not (it was late and at the beaches w/ lots of parties and people that were doing things they shouldnt)

Passing within 100 feet of an intersection. $250.00. Car in front of me was making a right and I went around on the left. Cop said I was doing 68 in a 55 but only gave me the ticket for illegal passing. Been cheaper for me to get the speeding ticket.
