Cody,
I know this is going to sound really mean and I personally do't care how you take it. You sound like a guy that sooner or later we will see on Dateline where they catch guys trying to have sex with people that they are not soppose to. Not saying that you ever will but with your driving record and your profile all I can say is that I hope you don't come to Houston very often. IMO you should stop driving all together and get a job at someplace that you just do anything but drive something. Also for awhile take the bus or a cab to get to work for a little while, just till you figure out how to lift your foot of the fuel peddle.

you're right about my profile though......i did needed to clean that up a bit. but the rest of the stuff .....somewhat right, . far as takin' a cab or bus, not. And FYI ...i wasn't actually doin' 80 in a 55....just had a bad lawyer.

Well Cody, as far as what you really did or did not do, it really does not matter does it?
What matters is that your record shows: 3 tickets in 3 years which means you are considered an at risk, high premium driver, but that is not the real killer. Having one 25 over is. 1 ticket is for 15+ over which means for 3 years from date of conviction you are one more ticket like that from a minimum 6 month vacation from driving. It is also considered reckless driving by insurance companies and many trucking companies. BTW: As a resident of Illinois that 25 mph over speed citation will show up on your record for 10 years. With a record like that I do not really know of any company, large or small, that could afford to hire you.

mr dot wannabe...
there's one thing wrong about your statement, actually 3 things:
1: you don't know me 2: i don't have a IL driving lic 3: who asked you for opinion anyway? cause there's plenty of companies that can afford me, thank you very much. just have to look a little longer and probably further.... 8)
