Congrats on your speeding ticket.

I haven't had one since the late 1990s but I do keep working at it. They always seem to catch the other guy.

If you really are nostalgic for a ticket just buy a real sports car.
Not a Corvette, Audi, or some Japanese wann-be, a REAL sports car.
Then you will not even have to beak any laws to be ticketed.

Ha, Last one I got was in Washington state in ‘87, passed a guy doing 50mph on the freeway, and of course when I went to pass he sped up to 60, I passed at 65, overhead airplane cop got me and a few miles later state patrol pulled me over for 65 in a 55 zone, cost me $60 back then.

1996 for me. Glad I don't drive like that anymore! :-)

Speeding tickets are IMO voluntary taxes. Sooner or later you're gonna get caught and have to pay money to the state. I don't like doing that for any reason so not paying a speeding ticket seems like an avoidable "tax" to me.

Been a while for me too but I keep my eyes so far ahead on the road due to all the debris and crap on the highways I spend a lot of time on I usually spot them, combined with WAZE I can usually average about 95 on my 6 to 8 times/month 200 mile each way trips.

Last spring due to an emergency I put wife and offspring on a plane on way home halfway across country and drive the last 1000 miles myself. Did 1000 miles in about 14 hours including gas stops

Don’t know if it still works but back in lot the lates 90s on the Indian nation turnpike in OK you could surreptitiously leave a hundred $ biller or two filed up in your reg/insurance paperwork by “accident” and even stopped for 130 you would get your paperwork back sans the $ but no ticket. Saved me a trip to jail personally once.
