How's Your Driving Record?
I have a theory that pilots make better drivers on the road due to better situation awareness, multi tasking abilities, knowing how your vehicles will react, and so on.
It a quick poll, there should be more options, I know...but this is just to get a general idea as to how 'we' are on the road...
(And yeah. Im talking past 5 years. Thats the number everyone cares about...)

I busted my a$$ for years to buy my first Porsche 911. I drove it how it was meant to be driven, and that's not 60mph. The tickets were an unfortunate byproduct of this, but never has it been an interview issue - and in fact elicited some good laughs when I was hired at CAL.
Don't get in accidents and don't drink and drive. I would worry more about that than the speeding tickets. Just my opinion.

Unfortunately, I learned that after having a few tickets already. And I'm sure I'll continue to get tickets now and again. No accidents though. Only thing on my record I worry about is a negligent driving infraction. I didn't know enough to hire an attorney, who would have told me to fight it. I just paid it and got it reduced. (ugh!).
For the record, I wasn't being (too) stupid. Rear end got loose on me accidentally while doing a u-turn, and instead of panicking and ending up facing traffic, I drifted through it and continued on my merry way. Apparently the cop didn't like it too much though
Other tickets are just random 10mph over. Two of them in the same night when my speedometer broke.
