But you're not talking about a simple speeding ticket, are you?
A couple of speeding tickets (no more that 10mph over) and an illegal u-turn. I never make excuses, and I *always* get the ticket...even when I was active duty military.
Well, nearly always...I have been pulled over 6 or 7 times (estimate) in my life and only been given a warning once. The others were all tickets...to include one for 20 in a 15mph zone.
