Only once. 55 in a 35. One of those streets where the speed limit all of a sudden just drops, and of course there was an asshole cop right at the point waiting to take advantage.

I have had probably 5 warnings. 2 tickets. Both in the past 5 years. One by a State Patrol who was on a back road for some reason, and one in Virginia in the middle of the night.

Been driving for 35 years.

Did not know a moped could go that fast.

It was on I-77 northbound. Can't remember exactly where. I was driving home from Florida. It was around 3 or 4 in the morning. Coming down a mountain, not paying any attention to speed, then all of a sudden there were flashing lights behind me.

I know better. I have driven through VA enough, but just was not paying attention.

There are a few areas where I was known to drive like a complete asshole. One of those is 270 (traffic permitting) in Columbus... the other is I-70 as you approach I-675 near Huber Heights. I don't hesitate to do 85-90 if I am annoyed with slow drivers.

Usually I park it at 7mph. Cops usually let you go 7-10 over anyways.

Also, any place where it's 55 and it clearly doesn't need to be (315 near OSU) I almost always drive whatever I want.

Then again, that was when I had my Mustang. My new car tops out at 60 because it's Korean.

Six for BRF in 43 years of driving. Five by staties.....no breaks from those dicks that trooperden personified. I wonder what my OC pal, Belly, has? Probably none, with just a lot of warnings because he scared the cops!

Jackson Co has cops? Can't make the game but why does it seem Ironton is always in our (Eastern Browns) way of getting to the Regionals?

Ironton might be the most upsettable of the top teams....Eastern plays well again and it could happen. Ironton's athletic 6'6 stud still has an upper ankle sprain

I just got popped last week 78 in a 55. Middle of the STIX too. I have had @ 12-15 speeding tickets. This is the first one in 4-5 years.I dont mind driving fast but I do not speed in populated or residential areas. IMO the freeways should be audobahn stlye.

I never get warnings. What is wrong with me? I have probably 5 tickets, but I'm an old sob. Seems like all of them are for 11 mph over. Two in same year a couple years ago raised my insurance-I am more careful now.

I got one for 81 in a 65. I was going like 90 but the cop lowered it on the ticket. I was 17 when I got it so I had to take a defensive driving course and pay the fine. I also got a ticket for loud music in my car which is bs cus I was driving a Honda accord with stock speakers and a ticket for running a stop sign where there's no point to there being a stop sign.

I also got pulled over for 40 in a 25 but the gave me a warning.
