I'm doing a project for my Stats class and need to know your gender and the total number of moving traffic violations (speeding, reckless driving, DUIs) you have received in your life.
Thanks everyone.

If you are seriously going to do this, the amount of driving someone does has a lot more to do with how many tickets you get than gender.
When I lived in the country and had an hour of driving each day I averaged 1.5 tickets per year, now that I live in the city and maybe drive an hour a week, I haven't had a ticket in 10+ years.
@Kidavenger: My claim for conducting this survey is based off gender, not the amount of driving one does. I understand some people drive more than others and have had more opportunity to rack up tickets, but my project isn't based on that. This survey has also been preapproved by my professor.
Good looking out though, thanks.
Male. None. No moving violations, that is. I've been pulled for an out of date tag, but that doesn't count.
EDIT: Also, yes, bad place to get statistics unless you're purposefully trying to skew them toward males having more violations than females?@mc250f said:
@MAGZine: Thats ok, and yes i'm aware im not taking age and MTVs into account. It is part of the project by not including them. Thanks.
Yeah, there are a lot of holes in this survey.

This. Seems like a really important thing to leave out.
Anyway, I'm male and I've never gotten a ticket...never even been pulled over.
You responsible, safe driving motherfuckers make me sick. Disgusting, the lot of you.
Male, 1 speeding/driving without tail light, 1 speeding/failure to keep to the right. I think the cop for the second one didn't like my answers to his questions, hence the failure to keep to the right got tacked on. I've been pulled over a few other times but can't recall getting any other actual tickets. Oh, and I think the failure to keep to the right one was dropped, after I fought it.
In 11 years of driving:
Luckily even though I have all those violations, they were spaced out just right that I still have a Good Driver discount. lol

- Fix it ticket for tail lights
- Used a stop sign as a yield (ran it).
- Speeding 79MPH on the highway. It was dark, saw a motorcycle behind me, but was pissed at the driver in front of me so I sped off. Did not see that it was motorcycle cop.
- "Ran a red light." Basically a made a right-hand turn in an intersection that just installed cameras. It wasn't there the day before!

I just want you to know that I read that with Walter's voice in my head.
Out of curiosity, what is your survey? What data are you trying to get? Just gender and traffic violations? Because there are other factors. Age would be a goo one to include. So you can compare males of diffrent ages to females of diffrent ages. Also I hope you're doing this somewhere else too, since this site is mostly full of males.
Male, 0
My wife has been in a wreck that totaled her car, however it was not her fault.
The fault was the other driver, who was a female
