Ah, the first ticket. I remember when I got mine, 81 in a 65, with my MOM in the car, I thought I'd never speed and follow the laws exactly. Lasted another 2 yr w/out a ticket, but that was with very little driving, and not to mention I got off once for a running a red cause I had a PBA card. I've gotten about one ticket a year since then, nothing serious, didn't come to a complete stop at a red, friggin abandonment (whole nother story), 44 in a 35, two unclear license plate tickets, and thats all I can remember.

Since gas has gone up, i drive a lot more slower and safer, and rarely go 5 above the limit...

That's true. I'm not trying to build myself up, but I don't do it as much as I've seen all of my buddies do. I only talk on my cell phone if it's necessary, I only look down for a second at the radio ( i know it by feel), and if somebody's being too loud or obnoxious in my passenger seat, I get rid of them as fast as possible. It's not worth an accident or injury just because I don't like a song or because I want to talk to my friends.
