I've had plenty of tickets.

But the one ticket i consider the "ONE" is the following.

year = 2002

month = June

type of ticket = SPEEDING

speed = 115 MPH

Fine = $300.00 and 16 hours of Cal Trans.

Points on license = 0

Location = Going West on the 10 freeway from Ontario to Los Angeles. Got pulled over in the city of West Covina.

Time = 4:15 AM

Story =

Well, basicly I was going home from being at the races in Ontario, and on the cop pulls me over in West Covina saying that he "clocked" me gonig 115 mph. He gave me the ticket and basicly said that he was in a good mood cause if he were'nt, he would inpound my car and take me to jail for 1 night. Apperantly, here in California, if you go over 100mph, it's considered a "felony".

So when i went to court, i played it off that my speedometer wasn't working at all and that i was just going at the flow of traffic. I had my buddy make me a receipt from his shop saying that they repaired my speedometer and to show proof that it wasn't working. I showed that to the judge, and he said that he would just charge me $300 and 16 hrs of cal trans.
