I've been driving since 1999 since I was 21 (Yes, yes, I wasn't allowed to drive until I was out of high school since my mom thought it would be less expensive since car insurance for teenagers are more expensive). So far, I've only hear stories of my friends getting pulled over but not getting a ticket or riding with my cousin when I was in my pre-teens and having a cop pull her over yet not give her a ticket. My mom who has driven for almost 30 years and she drives slow (Under the speed limit) recently in the past few years has gotten a speeding ticket twice and she didn't speed at all and obeys the law yet still has some excuse from the cop saying she didn't make a complete stop or was over the speed limit when she was several blocks away where the speed she was going was under 35 yet the cop stopped her and said she was going over 20 OR 25 miles per hour in the school zone in which she had not even approached the 20 or 25 mile per hour school zone sign yet. My mom also recently got a warning when a snapshot of her car was shown going through a yellow/red light around a school intersection where you can only go 20 miles an hour. Who goes that slow? Somehow my mom got stuck behind someone and the light went from yellow to red. My mom is getting bad luck. Give her a break. She's 66 years old.
With me, I do not follow the speed limit. I usually go over 10 miles an hour yet have never once gotten pulled over ever. I've had instances where I see a motorcycle cop around the corner and I slow down. My heart races because he might want to pick me to give a ticket to but when I turn around, he's not there, or when I slow down at the last minute and see a motorcycle cop standing on the side of the road using his radar machine, I fear he'll hop on his bike and follow me or send me a ticket through the mail, but not yet.
We also have may intersections where it is photo enforced and a little camera sits on top of the intersection lights and I've had my days where I was running late for work and went through the yellow/red light. I also keep worrying that I'll receive a ticket in the mail but not yet. I've had dreams of getting pulled over and I literally feel crushed because I though my lucky streak was over. Thank goodness they were just dreams.
