How ironic that I just came home and read this thread... I just got a damn ticket on the way home. My first too.
But hey, I did better than most of my friends, I made it a year before my first. (I got my license at 16 and I turned 17 in April).
But I can't complain too much I am almost always speeding like 5 over and the area is a known speed trap. But there hasn't been anyone there in a long time... anyway I know I can get traffic school and have nothing on my record if the judge is nice. I'm more afraid of my mom...lol. It's not even right, she is 38 and has never gotten a ticket. She has been pulled but never gotten anything more than a verbal warning. So I know I'll never hear the end of it. My dad on the other hand, even though I am sure he won't be all sunshine about it, is a truck driver and has had many.
Well my court date is July 19. Perfect way to ruin my summer...lol Seriously though I will be fine with it as long as my mom doesn't kill me...wish me luck.
