I got pulled over twice while I was away at school but I only got one ticket.
First time I was pulled over I was speeding and too close to the car in front of me (Although I didnt even notice either of those two things--I guess driving in Atlanta traffic has me immuned to such things
. The cop let me off the hook because I went to school nearby. I was thinking, "Wow, that was easy.."
I wasn't as lucky the second time. Pulled over for going 69 in a 45 zone (24 over the speed limit). I went to court and told the judge it was my first ticket, etc.. He dismissed the ticket on the condition that I take a defensive driving class. Damage: 8 hours and $65. Not bad..
