here in PA i think you get to accumulate 10 pts before your license is taken away...I think it's 7 before you have to take a written test. The cool thing is for every year you don't get a ticket or violation, you loose 2 pts. So, in feb or march I'll be back down to 1 pt on my license. The last time I got pulled over (Feb or March of this yr) I was doing 76.8 in a 55...which was like $160ish fine and 4 or 5 pts. Luckily the cop didn't want to pull me over speeding, he was actually going after a DUI...and said I was speeding on my ticket but charged me for failing to obey a posted sign. So, I got a $95 fine and 3 pts. Basically what he charged me with was something like running a stop sign. Yes we get 3 pts for running stop signs (damn nazi cops in PA!)
But thank god erin had to take her pts test to drop 2-3 pts off her license, so now I know all the sneaky rules and stuff. Thats how I know all of what I said so far. I also know that I can do 11 mph over the speed limit without getting pulled over. The pts and worthwhile fines don't kick in until you go 12mph+ over the speed limit
So needless to say I cruise at 11 mph over the posted limit everywhere I go.
