Yup that does make a difference! My girlfriend's dad was a cop for 40 years and her oldest brother is an FBI agent, I think it's safe to say she'll never get any tickets!

I've been pulled over 2 times in my S over the past 6 months for speeding (with extreme prejudice). I got verbal warnings for both, but was ticketed for no front license plate on one of them.

Ol geez, let me see. I must have been pulled at least a dozen times in the last 10 years. I was ticketed 3 times for benign moving violations (not speeding), of which I appealed successfully all 3 times. As for current streak, I was pulled over for speeding (not excessively) 4 times over the last 6 months, including 2 times on one night and 2 times on successive days. None of the four resulted in ticket.

A pretty funny story on one of those four times I got pulled over for speeding though. I was cruising at about 55 mph in the middle of a three-lane twisty road. Speed limit was 45 mph and there were no other cars on the road at the time. That was until a car quickly gained ground on me and eventually was hanging on my rear bumper. My thought at the time was: What an @sshole! I am not in the fast lane; there is no other car on the road; there is no reason for him to be that dangerously close to me.

So out of annoyance, I downshifted to 3rd and punched it. Just as I started creating some space between us as I approached 65 mph, I see the good old white-and-blue flashing in my rear view mirror. Then it hit me

My longest streak was 5 times over about 6 years, unfortunately my luck ran out this past august when I got a ticket during the Woodward Dream Cruise in my fathers viper. What's really kind of funny is the night that I picked up my S2000 I was driving over to my parents house to show them, and I was pulled over because the cop thought I was driving with my highbeams on. What made things worse is I was so excited to go show my parents I left my house without my wallet. The cop was not to thrilled, but let me go and said laughing that I better get used to getting pulled over because my lights are too bright.

Just about never, I always get a ticket

The one time I can think of where I didn't get a ticket was years ago in my '67 Mustang I was driving with no tailpipe and got pulled over for being so loud. I was a kid, my car was a heap, and I showed the cop the pipe (it was in the trunk).

I have always had RADAR detectors - "FuzzBusters", Whistler Remote, Bel Remotes, and now V1s. So usually when they get me, they got me.
