DO NOT MAKE the same mistake I have made(once) Do not refer to the speeding ticket you are just handed as a "over speed permit"
the officer found not one bit of humor in it

[L. Allen]

I find that coffee may cause one to drive fast.

[Kev43V]

NOOOOO it only makes your mind and body race LOL

I allways loved Galligers (sp) line about drivers "anyone driving faster than I am is crazy. anyone driving slower is an A$$hole" ROFL

[Tomtall]

Hmmmmm

George Carlin (RIP) asked a similar question. He asked--------------

Have you ever noticed everyone that drives faster than you is a MANIAC and everyone that drives slower than you is an IDIOT?

Makes one think.

In today's world, with fast Internet, drive thru fast food, DVR for TV's, instant gratification is abound, no one wants to slow down (or wait) for anything (or anyone) anymore. Ever notice how a lot of the speeders are in high end (IE expensive) SUV's or luxury sedans? My wifes ex boss once mentioned, when she was being passed by some one in the right lane, my car, $50k, his $10k, I can drive it where and how I want

My driving pet peeve; running red lights! And usually there's more than one trying to squeak through the intersection!

One year I had 4, all between 70-75. I've lost count on the total.

the real reason for MOST speeding tickets

As most would agree I think, the majority of speeding tickets issued have very little to do with safety, and a LOT to do with "revenue enhancement" for the govenrnment entity that issues them.

The questionable methods used to catch this type "law breaker", IMHO anyway, does little good to manage behaviour, and influence obeying existing speed regulations, and mostly manages to generate contempt for the issuing officer/government that stops you and issues it. Probably most folks that have "contempt for law enforcement" got that opinion from a speeding ticket issued to them in questionable cir***stances, and then we have silly debates why kids today don't "respect the law". Add to that when they see their parent/sibling or someone else get off because they could afford a good lawyer, and why should they slow down if not so inclined for other reasons?

The legal industry (lawyers/legislators) do little to try to solve the problem, as the folks that get caught speeding are also real "revenue enhancers" for them also. When I was somewhat younger, I am certain I, at minimum, paid for all one attorneys sons books and clothes while he was attending college.

Of course I have learned my lesson now, in my old age, and don't do that sort of stuff anymore.

Getting caught doin 110 comes to mind, so did bail [written up for 90 luckily]. Early 70s were a long time ago tho. Now I have no points, & pay a reasonable premium. Mines a 6cyl van, makes it easier to control the nut behind the wheel. The 1 gotten away with, coming into a curve at +125 ['late'- no excuse!] upon letting off it went into a 4 wheel drift around about 320 degrees thru an underpass w/o hitting anything... it did have an impact, again - long ago, sooo when you blow the doors off the older dude who wont speed up & doesnt even seem to notice... maybe he does more than ya think.
