Default Ticket Count After One Year

I've had my Audi for one year now....and in that time I have been pulled over (or I guess I should say that the car has been pulled over) 5 times. Here is the summary:

1) State Trooper in Vt on Route 4. 77 in a 65. G/F was driving. Told a nice story, got off with a writen warning.

2) Mahwah Police Route 17 to 287 on ramp. Going around an acciedent scene drove over a painted island. Ticket for illegal lane change.

3) MTA Police - Tri-Borrow bridge toll plaza. Changed lanes to avoid long toll line. Ticket for ilegal lane change.

4) NY State Trooper on Route 178. Going I don't know how fast, passing two cars on a two lane road. Trooper says "you just can't go that fast"...but only gives a ticket for no current proof of insurance card.

5) State Trooper Route 2 in NH. 67 in a 55. Trooper asks for license and registration. I give him my insurance card as well. "Sir, this is NH, the "live free or die state" we don't need to see your insurance card'. Got off with warning...."sir, I don't know what the reason is, but there are a lot of moose out tonight. Please slow down"


By far the most I have been pulled over in a year...and by far the most I have been let off with a warning.

It is really easy to 'creep' up in speed without even noticing it....

you need an "auto angel". I got this little angle that somehow gives me a "feeling" that i should slow down or not go thu that Yellow-orange stoplight. its saved me many times.
except yesterday, i was just plain lucky! I merged into the empty left turn lane waaay to early, (passing a cop sitting in the lane to keep going straight. clearly, i was "improper lane usage") so he moves out of that lane to pull up behind me. the lite is still red. so i'm saying all the cuss words getting ready to pull over when we pull thru the intersetion. ( i got the top down, & i'm thinkin he just wants to show this "rich bitch" who's got the power & give me a ticket). well, much to my surprise, he doesnt turn on his lites & makes a right into the quick-trip. that was a close one!
