Comparing speeding to professionalism in a cockpit is simply stupidity. "Oooh, look, this guy has 3 tickets, I'll bet that means he is more willing to ignore FAR's and will be a danger!"

Baloney. Hardly anyone drives exactly at the limit. If you do, you are almost a danger to other drivers. You go with the herd. And when you do, a ticket is a matter of bad luck, not of bad professionalism.
At the end of the day there are more pilots out there without driving infractions versus those with. Alas... tis pity... tis true

Good luck with your quest however.
