none on my D... i had 2 when i was younger... 2003, and 2004. first was "58 in a 40" when i was clearly doing 47, and the kid next to me wanted to race, and blew past me, probably only pulled me over cause he recognized my car out of the pack with the firefighter lights on it (mounted to the roof)

second was "70 in a 55". I was on my way to a wreck with entrapment, but i was one township over, and according to our state laws, you can't run your emergency lights until you are in the township you serve. i told the cop, he called dispatch, confirmed, and still wrote me the ticket. when i went to court, i let him know the person died before we could rescue them out of the car, judge still gave me 2 points, but reduced it to "5 over" and still charged me $150... asshole. i bet if it was someone he loved that was in that car he'd have seen things a different way.
