My first was a warning ticket for speed in Greensburg, IN. Entering town on SR 46 and didn't slow down as fast as the speed limit dropped (55, 45, 35). Was driving a 1978 Chevette with the 4 cylinder, so it wasn't all that fast. Was on my way to an optometrist appointment, must have been local enough.
My dad had some interesting stories about outrunning the cops in Greensburg. That was after his discharge from the USN, he had more horsepower than I have ever had. The cops knew who they were chasing (guys from Clarksburg with loud mufflers), as long as they left town the cops were satisfied.
My last ticket was in Cincinnati for following too close. A drunk walked out in front of the woman in front of me, she hit her brakes and I almost stopped in time, barely bumping her. The Cincinnati officer who gave me the ticket said if I wanted to fight it he who would testify in my defense. I paid it because taking time off work would cost as much as the ticket, and, technically it was correct. If you can't stop in time you are following too close. What really burnt was I was not in a hurry that day, or I would have been in a different lane passing and it wouldn't have happened. The lady I bumped worked for the same company as I did, different floor. Never did hear anything from insurance about that one, her bumper was already damaged from a previous accident so I guess there was no claim.
