How the hell do you get so many tickets? I speed as much as anyone else and have had one ticket since I got my license at 15, I'm 22 now. Buy a radar detector and slow the hell down. If you're dumb enough to get busted 3 times you shouldn't be anywhere near a bike.

Personally, I go slower on a bike than on a car. Just like, hey, little more danger here, no need for the bigger risk.

Buy a slow, cheap, dependable car, and take the traffic school if you can, that will help with insurance rates,
Also, it's as often as not that speeding isn't what gets you the tickets, it's aggressive driving AND speeding. If you work being smoother and less aggressive, you'll get less tickets anyway.

Around here liablity insurance has no affect on what car you drive, it has to do w/ driving record. Therefor same insurance rate, no matter if you are driving a vette or a kia. If you cant afford insurance now w/ liabilty, why would you want something new that you would have to carry full coverage on. 3 speeding tickets equals what, like 6-9 points(if they were over excess 10mph over speedlimit)? I seriously doubt with that many speeding tickets/accidents you are going to find cheaper full coverage on any car, reguardless of make/model. You might just have to wait the 4 years it takes for them to come off. Go take a traffic class, one day and you will have points taken off, EASIEST way to save money on insurance.

Pardon my language, but, why the hell would he even think about getting a lawyer to contest the tickets if he is a speed demon? Maybe this will teach him a lesson to be smart about having modes of transportations...

Yea... Sell the bike and take the bus...
Sounds to me like your a loose cannon and your gonna eventually hurt you or someone els.
At least sell the bike and buy a super slow car, you saying that you have 3 car accidents and already have a speeding ticket and you want a relatively fast car shows you have no intent on slowing down.

the whole thing u guys arn't understanding is that all those accidents were over a year ago nd i actually did smarten up, i pay more attention and speed less. nd bikes are a huge responsability nd i dont give other riders bad names bc i dont drive like an ******* on it, i hardly even speed on it, the ticket was BS bc i was following the car in front of me nd not paying attention to my speed nd the cop pulled me over nd not the car.
