No speeding tickets or warnings since 1994. SVX owner for 14 Months. Last ticket (3 years ago) was for crashing my '90 Loyale into a new 2003 Porsche 911 twin turbo convertible (!) well... actually, he hit me, but I was making an ill-advised left turn.

3 tix / 0 warnings / 1.5 years

1 ticket was > 100 mph, and 1 accident (totalled).

Thankfully, I haven't had a ticket for a few years now.

Reviving old thread for release of new study.

The recently released study on your chances on getting a ticket or into an accident has me close to the top of the list. See linky http://autos.canada.com/news/story.h...8-cf9d32730a68

Zero tix, zero warnings in the SVX
Probably because I can't afford any...

My record is up there

i've had my license for just about 2.5 years. I totaled my first car ('90 olds cutlass supreme SL) after for days (i got T-boned). then i got a legacy wagon and totaled it about 6 months later. (stupid 16 year old ran a light to turn in front of me). then an altima, then this, but so far, no more accidents.

0 / 0 / 6 monts. with this car, but i got two tickets in my altima in about 8 months. god i hate my lead foot. one was 63 in a 45, and the other one was 87 in a 65.

so far i know the top speeds of only 2 of my 4 cars.
'90 Olds Cutlass Supreme SL = ??? (only owned for 4 days
'98 Legace Wagon = 113, then acc. stops
'99 Altima = 109, then acc. stops
'92 SVX = ??? 125 and then some, but it was too dark, and i didn't know the road, so i had to slow down.

one ticket, one warning, one year. Let's avoid talking about the times I DIDNT get caught...85 in a 35 (Exit ramp) 110 in a 55, 125 in a 65, 60 in a 20, and a few other dumb moves

SVX = 0 tickets/ 0 warnings /2 years

My supra I sold a year ago
1 ticket(rolled thru a 4 way and the cop was sitting in my mechanics parking lot between 2 cars so you could not even see his cherrys. I had just been doing something illegal so I complied and gladly accepted the ticket and went to traffic school 2 months later. This happened in nov. of '05)

1 warning for doing the same thing at the end of the block I live on.(6= years ago) And both ends of my block are T intersections that you get sooooo used to rolling thru each of them.

All that in 7 years in ownership. And once I topped it out downhill 139mph. I was 18 and retarded but ballsy!

Sooo I will let me supra be my life lesson and NOT repeat these mistakes in my baby!

F*** the po po as I will always say until I die! And our gov. as of recent!

ok I'm done.

What a bunch of statistical/superstitious bull****.

I'm a scorpio (Oct 23) and if anything I PREVENT accidents.
