Guess how many... - Page 11

As for the most miles driven, can I pipe in here?

I have no idea as to an actual number. All I know is I drove semi for two years (what you folks call an arctic). I drove taxi for 5 years. So there's 3/4 of a million miles right there. Throw in my personal driving over the last (gulp) 24 years and I'm probably up over a million miles.

And in all that time I've gotten 2 speeding tickets (both 8 hours apart on the same interstate, opposite directions.

) and 4 accidents (two not my fault, one equipment failure and one I tried to fight as not my fault but lost). And only the equipment failure one left any of the vehicles involved disabled (mine).

Where can you get to that's within a million mile radius though?

We're in similar ballparks.

If this turns out not to be the case, try some live yoghurt.

My turn to worry

Although the camera definitely flashed so I'm stuffed

My own damned fault, red light camera, about 0.25secs after it went red. 13 years blemish free driving comes to an end.

Going to have to wait ages as it's a lease vehicle.

Did it flash twice, as I'm fairly sure you're safe unless it did.

/disclaimer, could be wrong though.
