How long did it take you to get a speeding ticket?

I got my first ticket after 6 months of ownership . a woman in a mercedez suv was yappin on the cell phone and going 5 under the speed limit on a single lane road. when we got to the light at a major intersection i knew the road opened up into 2 lanes and then went back to a single lane. we got green so i blew by her in time to get in front of her and slow back down . a minute later a cop approaches going the opposite direction and swings around to pull me over. he explains they just put that intersection on video monitor and got me going 47 in a 30. 120 bucks with court supervision. i guess i have to drive like a grandma for a couple months now so i dont get another one that goes on my record!

I never speed and drives on the far right sides. Just cruise with right amount of music volume leven with right amount of window down.

About 12 minutes from the time I got pulled over to the moment I was handed said ticket .

That was over 6 years ago.

I realize you probably meant "how long after you got your G37 did it take for you to get a ticket?" but that's not specifically what you asked.

Very appropriate name, CaptainObvious.

About 3 weeks. Was headed to the inlaws who live in the sticks and on the way there are a ton of country roads with lots of twisties. Was on a road with no houses or anything and actually slowed down before Roscoe P. Coltrain pulls me over. Good he got me when he did otherwise it could've been a lot worse. None since then...

I've been driving for about 5 years and almost 4 of them were in an infiniti ( first was a G35 coupe and now a 08 G35 sedan modded) I don't speed just cruise at 65 all day in the middle lane, and under the limit if I'm on a local street. The people that get frustrated behind me usually end up getting a ticket.

in the 37, i've gotten a tint ticket as a slap for going too fast. CHP didn't have his radar on, so he couldn't clock me, but he could tell i was doing "at least 20 over".
