The Authorized Mechanixfetch Traffic Violation Census

It's back A 100% bonafide Authorised Mechanixfetch Census. This time we're focusing on Traffic Violations, this is a car fourm and most of us who browse here are somewhat into cars and might sometimes drive a little too fast or otherwise be foolish with our cars. So here are the Census Questions
How many times have you been pulled over?
What for?
Ticketed?
Roughly how many road blocks have you ever been through?
Have you ever been Breathalyzed?(sp?)
How many points are on your liscence?
Ever been suspended?
What was your most expensive ticket?
What was it for?
Have you ever fought a ticket?
Did you win?

And as always only answer the questions you want to answer. We're not here to judge. Well not too harshly

It's the opposite way, it should be 0 and with more than 12 it gets revoked (At least in Florida)

I got 4 points for my ticket, but did a stupid 4 hour traffic course and got rid of them.
