Just read Wendys post below about doing 105 in a 40 zone and I know she feels crazy for doing what she did. Crazy, yes, but as the saying goes live and learn . Still we all did crazy things as kids ourselves. So, let's not leave her feeling alone in her misery. Tell us all about your first speeding ticket. What kind of car, where were you at, but most importantly how fast were you going. With some of the "old timers" on this board I'm sure there are some exciting stories to be shared. Not an "old timer" myself, yet, but my first was driving my 55 Chevy 210 wagon back to the Naval Base in Charleston, SC back in '88 or '89. I was headed down I-77 through Rock Hill, SC and had opened the four barrel on my 283 up a llttle til I was running well over 100 for a mile or two before backing off. When the blue lights came on I had already come off the gas and had been coasting for a mile or so just letting her slow down naturally. Turns out I was running 70 in a 55 zone, although I honestly thought it had turned to a 65 zone already. Fortunately the officer took pity on me and dropped the speed on the ticket down to 60 in a 55 so it didn't hurt my driving record. I'm just glad he wasn't sitting a couple of miles further back up the road than he was or I'd have been walking myself. The irony of my whole situation though was that I had made the same trip about every other weekend for over a year and until that weekend no one had ever mentioned getting a ticket to me. That weekend all I heard from everybody I talked to was "don't get a ticket", "their out there this weekend, don't get a ticket", etc etc. What did I do, I got a ticket....I think everybody jinxed me.....
