The only secret about not having a speeding ticket and driving fast, its just pushing the throttle in places where nobody drives because there wont be any radar where its not profiteable

^I've had a friend who was caught along a fairly wide road at around 5am. Nobody else was around. It happens, oddly enough.

Speed camera locations here are publicly available, and are all in spots where there is a high likelihood of serious crashes.

The worst I've done is pushing it to around 80km/h in a 60km/h zone so I could run a yellow light. I was late for work, and it really strained the poor mid-range acceleration of my father's Mazda 3.

@666fast - 10 years without a ticket!? I got my first ticket within 6 months of having my license LOL Kinda hard not to get a ticket when you are 16 in a bright orange, loud muscle car and living in a city where the cops don't have much to do all day.

I have been pretty fortunate in that I have been let off with just a warning quite a few times and in my 11 years of driving I have only gotten 3 tickets. The times I have been let off would have resulted in much more severe tickets that the tickets I have actually got LOL You just have to know how to talk to cops and show some cleavage

That sucks 666fast

I sometimes try to figure out why I haven't gotten a ticket since I got my license at 16.

It must be either my driving luck or my driving style. :bah:

I've only been driving for 4 years and have never had a ticket. I have, however, been carded a couple of times for doing nothing more than driving a Trans Am at night . . . stupid local cops. :x
