My record was spotless for 15 years or something and then *BAM*, I got a speeding ticket, a ticket for running a stop sign (I stopped dammit! I just might have rolled a little...), a ticket for talking on my cell phone and recently a ticket for SUPPOSEDLY driving for a brief second over the white line that marks the bike lane.
That last one really pissed me off. Firstest, I don't think I did it. Secondest, even if I did, no one was IN the bike lane for the second I supposedly crossed the line and thirdest, it made me think I ought to install a dash cam because there was no way I could disprove his allegation. That said, I'm very conscientious about bike lanes now so if I get pulled over again, I'm going to fight it and make the officer produce his/her dash cam video to prove it.
I can't complain too much though. I've gotten off a few times with warnings when I should have received a ticket.
