About That One Speeding Ticket

I empathize with new driver Wandee Katanaree, the 30YO CdA woman who drove into a house on 17th Street while practicing backing up. She’s older than most who learn to drive. But she was trying to be careful (although she now faces a fine of up to $300 for her efforts). I’ve only received one traffic ticket — for speeding — since I began driving 43 years ago. I still remember the night. I was an 18YO driving my new 1967 convertible Camaro on the highway for the first time at night — and had decided that no one was going to pass me. I’d just upgraded from a VW bug. Unfortunately, one of the vehicles behind me was a highway patrolman. I sped up as he drew closer, to prevent him from passing. Dumb idea.

Question: Can you remember the first ticket you received for a vehicle moving violation?
