have to worry about any traffic

take responsibility if that happened

My ex got one for going 50 in a 30 zone. They took his licence away so he had to pay the fine to get it back, it was funny, at the time he looked kinda young for his age and he kept getting ID'd when we went drinking but he didn't have his licence as proof of age. He still had the speeding ticket with him though so he showed the bouncers that and explained the situation and they let him in anyway!

[Syberia]

1. Do you have a driver's liscense? Yes.
2. Have you ever speeded? Yes.
3. What's the fastest over the speed limit that you've gone? 55 in a 25 zone, racing one of my friends. No one else was around for miles (well, maybe not miles), though.
4. Do you speed often? I guess.
5. Why do you speed? I usually won't be bothered to look at the speedometer so I just go as fast as I can comfortably go. Pretty much what Suzie already said. Though sometimes the speed limits seem painfully slow, especially when you're in a hurry.
6. Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? No.
A) IF so how many? N/A
B) Have you speeded after getting them? N/A
C) Will you speed again? Probably the next time I get into a car.
D) If not, why? N/A
E) What would you do if you got one? If there's any possible way out, I'd try and fight it so it doesn't make my insurance go up.
7. Do you know anyone that speeds? Everyone who drives a car. Or at least 90% of them.
A) If so, do you know why they speed? Either they're just too lazy to look at the speedometer, or they need to get some place quickly.
B) If not, what do you think is the reason? So they won't get a ticket.
8. Do you know anyone that's got a speeding ticket? If so who was it? Nope.

[Ninetales3001]

[Cheesey]

1. Do you have a driver's liscense?
No, I don't, since I'm only 15 years old! I hope to get one when I'm 17 though.

2 Have you ever speeded?
Well, no, but I know somebody who has. Well, probably quite a few actually, I've just not been aware of it.

3. What's the fastest over the speed limit that you've gone?
The person I know who speeded went 12 miles an hour over the speed limit.

4. Do you speed often?
Nobody that I know does, because (most of them) are usually sensible with the way they drive. Maybe with the exception of my sisters boyfriend who occasionally drives without his hands on the wheel!

5. Why do you speed?
Well, I don't. And the only people I know of in my area (who aren't really stupid and want to cause controversy) only broke the speed limit by accident. I dunno though, they might have done it because, like Suzie, they were perfectly aware of where the speed cameras and everything are.

6. Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
No. Someone close to me has though!

A) IF so how many?
Well, none. Hehe.

B) Have you speeded after getting them?
The person I know who got one won't be speeding. At least, not on purpose...

C) Will you speed again?
I hope to never speed. But I don't think anyone I know will be speeding any time soon. They just drive fairly erratically sometimes!

D) If not, why?
It's better to be safe instead of sorry, I think.

E) What would you do if you got one?
I would just go through with the consequences. I'm sure they wouldn't be very large since I'm sure I won't ever speed a lot over the speed limit if I ever do speed. Wow, I've just realised how many times I've said "speed" in this post.

7. Do you know anyone that speeds?
My sisters boyfriend does.

A) If so, do you know why they speed?
I think he thinks it makes him look cool, but me and my sister have conversations about what a pillock he is. I'm sure one of these days he's going to get in some sort of accident! Not any time soon though, because he hasn't got a job and therefore never has any money.

B) If not, what do you think is the reason?
All the other people I know think it's silly to speed (I think...). So they don't do it.

8. Do you know anyone that's got a speeding ticket? If so who was it?
My eldest sister did a few weeks ago. She was going 42mph in a 30mph zone, so it wasn't absolutely terrible. And there weren't any other vehicles around her so she didn't realise how fast she was going. She had to pay a £60 fine and then she was done with it though, so it wasn't too bad.
