I got a speeding ticket in 1969 driving a TR2 through Southall in London. Fine £7.00, and licence endorsed. Not had one since, hope I'm not tempting fate!

Around the same time, a friend of mine got a ticket for doing 40mph in a 30 limit. When the ticket had been issued, he couldn't start his car, so the police officers kindly pushed him to 'bump sart' the car and off he went. A few miles up the road, the same police officers pulled him in for doing 50mph in a 40 limit. Issued him with another ticket and pushed him on his way again. Bizarre! I never forgot it, and I suspect he hasn't either. The other bizarre aspect of it was that he was fined £10.00 for the first offence and £7.00 for the second. You'd have thought it would be round the other way.
