Got my first ticket. Failure to stop for a stop sign. The HP told me happy b-day after he wrote me up. I was devastated. This cop is now the head of NC HP dept. Geez he don't play. But... I've never had another moving violation ticket since. 30 years of driving, no tickets, no wrecks (that I was driving). (almost got killed a few times with my so called friends driving). And I have had many hotrods. I consider myself an excellent driver. Good luck on your driving experience. Just beware of all the fools on the road, and cops who play by the book..
