Default Driver gets 70 speeding tickets in 5 months

PHOENIX, Arizona (Reuters) - As a mortgage broker in Arizona, Francesca Cisneros is used to working with big numbers. It's the double-digit speed limits she has trouble with.

Cisneros racked up 70 speeding tickets in the last five months, a record for the Scottsdale Police Department, police said on Friday.

Speeding cameras in Scottsdale, a suburb of Phoenix, snapped pictures of the 32-year-old woman as she tore through the sun-baked city in her Honda Civic between March 2 and July 31.

"She told arresting officers she was speeding because she seemed to be late for client meetings all the time," Scottsdale Police Department spokesman Mark Clark told Reuters. "I guess she's got some time management issues."

The second-worst offender in the department's history accumulated a mere 25 tickets, Clark said.

Police said Cisneros said she threw her speeding tickets away because she thought nothing could happen to her if she didn't pay them.

Clark said Cisneros faces some $11,000 in fines and could have her license suspended.

That's the kicker... what made her think that?

She'll plead how it's her livelihood etc and probably keep her license.

Wait for part 2 of this story...

I know my jolly buddies over in England hate these speeding cameras as do motorists down here where I live in Mexico City.

My home state of Florida actually outlawed them.

I was curious if any of you have encountered them or had personal experience with theme elsewhere.

I think the newspaper had to say that. She hasn't been convicted technically on those tickets yet, so she could be innocent of all of them....which is the "could." In reality, I think you get your license suspended in AZ if you get three tickets within 12 months, so you can guess what will happen here. She isn't going to have a license of any kind for several years. Moron.

Not for long. I was in traffic school recently and the dude there said they will be experimenting with the stop light cameras, and if that proves effective, then they will move on to cameras to capture speeding offenders....talk about how our tax money is used against us...

Well, since I drive this stretch of highway every day......I have to say that traffic moves a lot more smoothly and there has been a ton less fatal accidents on that stretch. I'm all for them.

What cracks me up is the out of staters that haul azz not knowing they are there and its like a disco with all the flashes.....lol
