(Holy crap, am I that old already?) I was pulled over about 3 years ago on a busy street in Boston where people fly. I was lasered doing 47 in a 30 (oops) and got a nice, fat ticket. Perfect timing for the cop; I had just taken my V1 down because I was heading for my parking space. Luckily the RMV lost my paperwork, so when I showed up to contest, they dropped it (main reason why everyone should request a hearing!).
But I can recall countless times when I have sped past speed traps going significantly higher than the speed limit, and never been pulled over. I'm pretty good around town usually, but on the highway I definitely drive over the speed limit. All of my friends that are my age have been pulled over multiple times, but they all seem to consider me the speeder.
