My one and only speeding ticket (i've had about 8 parking tickets for meters running out) i was doing 82mph in a 70mph zone.... kinda BS but its ok, i admitted to the officer i was in the wrong and should not be going that fast, i got written up for 5 over which was no points and $105 US... i was 18 when that happened
Generally, when you get one speeding ticket, you slow down and stay right around the speed limit... But, thats just my common sense kicking in..

I don't understand why you wouldn't slow down after the first one? My insurance would go up to crazy amounts if I did what you did. Doesn't Canada's auto insurance companies account for all those speeding tickets?

The last thing i'm going to say about this thread is that you shouldn't come complaining about the police when its completely your fault. you're speeding, you were caught. I admit when i'm wrong and when i got pulled over i told the officer my exact speed and because of that, he lowered my ticket.
And yes, when i drive i do about 5 over but only in areas that are 40mph or more. residential or little roads i stick to the limit. I'm 19, and honestly follow most of the rules.. it saves me money haha

your first comment is bang on.
and you last comment is a mirror image of my driving habits. my wife is always watching the speedo, since i tend to run in the 15 KPH over (which is a "no-pointer" ticket, but will add up if you get too many).
but on our street (or any other side street) i stick to the 40KPH (25MPH) limit-but usually only do 30 (under 20MPH). plus i'm the asshat who does throw tools out in front of you if you're flying down my street (if i'm working on something), or i'll just walk out in front of you, and you will stop, before i'll let you by.

I just have to say first....ultimate WIN on Dave's post with the internet bro fist...lol I had a good laugh over that one.
Anyway...my one and only speeding ticket was when I was 16. I only had my license for a few months and got caught doing 98 in a 70 zone. Stupid? yes. But, I was 16 and stupid so I deserved it. Simple fact is...slow down and you won't have any issues
