On the drive back from Atlanta Wednesday night I received my very first speeding ticket!
Getting pulled over was not even the worst part of the drive, but I won't go into all my traffic plights because typically people are only interested by their own complaints and, sometimes, their children's. (My mom: "Oh, sweetheart, did you get scared when all the blue lights were flashing?" Me: [sniffle] "Yes.") Suffice it to say I am sick of hurricane season.
Anyway, if anybody has advice (Should I contest? I was clocked at 79 in a 65) please speak up! Or if you have your own traffic/weather/cop horror stories feel free to share them so that the rest of us can not listen, then cut you off in order to one-up you!

Thats karma for not coming to visit me!!!
Back in college, I got caught doing 96 on GA 16 by myself in a construction zone (although there was no construction going on or construction workers present?) on a totally empty highway in the middle of the day. This cop pulled out from behind a small bush/billboard pole that I swear couldn't hide a large cow. I totally deserved it. I was singing loudly to some rancid cd that I hadn't listened to since high school just to kill time, and had no clue how fast I was going. The cop comes over and I was doing my little pitiful cry/sniff thing. He asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I whimpered "65?" and he laughed in my face. Then I cried one of those loud "UHHH HUUHHH HUHHHHH" cries, and he tried to be nice but still gave me a ticket. It cost me over $200 which I had to borrow so my parents wouldn't find out.
So it could be worse!
you already know this story, but my bro lost his license because he was going 33 over on Peachtree. My only advice is don't go more than 30 over while underage.
I can proudly say that I have never gotten a speeding ticket. Of course, I did hit and damage terribly a new Mercedes with my shitty Honda two hours after getting my license, but you knew that already.
Oh don't get all self-righteous! You've only had a driver's license for about ten minutes.
ten minutes in dog years, which is like a million minutes! Or something to that effect.
