SCLED just wouldn't sing.

Actually, thinking on it, you won't pull up moving violations on SLED anyway, except for the high proof kind.

The seriously answer to the question is "around eight," but only one in the past decade or so.  Couple of seatbelt violations too.

3
In chronological order :

Ignoring a stop sign - 3 points
Speeding of 40 kmh over the limit - 6 points
and something I don't know how to say in english but is worth 9 points.

There's no 12 point infractions so I think I've maxed this out.

3 in my lifetime.  1 for speeding (50 in a 35 at 2 AM), 2 for "driving too closely" which is cop-talk for tapping someone on the bumper at a low speed.  Didn't do any damage, but they still love writing out more tickets.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Chick whose insurance generously decided to contribute to my Emergency Fund got a ticket for following too closely. :)

None.
Pulled over once for doing 43 in 35, they had me do the whole sobriety test as it was 5am.
And pulled over for expired tags, but wasn't my car, I was just driving.

Just two.

One was a speeding (doing 90km in a 60)

One was for drinking but not being drunk enough to get charged, but we'll suspend your license for 12 hours.

The good that came out of that last one is that I never have a single drink if I know i"m gonna be driving.

2 speeding tickets in California. I think I once had a reckless driving ticket but it disappeared.

Don't know how long ago the reckless driving was, but you might want to follow up on it.  Those can get quasi-criminal in nature, even if states don't do a good job reporting them to each other.

It was a long time ago and they said they were dropping it...both of which are why the details are hazy.

Driving on a sidewalk full of pedestrians at high speed?

3 speeding tickets, once for blocking intersection, and once for reckless driving (got arrested that time). Is it any wonder I hate driving?
