Accidents and Tickets!

[vsheetz]

Have not before looked back on this topic. Let see... A few speeding tickets over ~45 years of driving. A seat belt ticket, and several parking tickets (cost of doing business in business districts). A couple three minor accidents.

Overall pretty good I think for all the crazies that are on the roads.

Did get a warning ticket for 35 in a 25 in Baltimore, in 1957, and an actual ticket in Florida for passing in a no passing zone ($25 fine) in 1972. No accidents. (Knock on wood??)

But: Moving violation, not in a vehicle.. I was actually arrested in North Carolina in 1961 for doing the Twist. Honest!!- Judge dismissed charges if we promised never to do that in public again......(I still maintain It was the pretty young lady's fault)

Going to be 62 in February. 1 ticket (I swerved to miss someone who decided to change lanes and wasn't paying attention to the light. I went under it just as it was turning red. Cop gave me a ticket.


Six accidents, (NONE MY FAULT) over 40+ years. Feel sometimes like I have a target on my vehicle. Have a neck fusion, metal plate, and screws in my neck. nerve damage and problems from swallowing due to someone on a cell phone. I was sitting at a stop sign yielding right of way.


Last accident was the most interesting 2 yrs ago. I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden, BAMB, I got broadsided (by a coyote). $1,800. damage to my door. That was an interesting call to insurance. Do you mean a deer? No, a coyote, I have some of the fur for you if you want it.
