Sure, I was in a hurry because I was late for work, but who is more of a danger to those around him? Me or the idiot young twerp who thinks he should be in the next Fast and the Furious movie?



I can certainly relate to this. Since I started driving in 1998, these have been vehicles I've driven:

- brown Buick oldsmobile Lordknows how old
- black Chevy Blazer
- sky blue Chevy Silverado
- tan Chevy Cavalier
- blue Astro van
- white Chevy Venture van

...out of those 6 cars, which do you think I got the most tickets in? The black SUV and the tiny car. And believe me, I've sped over the limit equally in all of them.
I know what you mean about ricer Civics. I hate ricer Civic owners twice as much as the next person. Several times I'd be cruising down the highway and some idiot would pull up beside me, look into my car and rip it down the road expecting me to follow. I don't race. I follow traffic. I'll admit I've sped on occasion. Nothing serious enough to cause damage or life threatening injuries to myself or anybody else. I won't drive even after having one beer, or one shot. Which are probably good reasons why I've never gotten a ticket. Every time I do get pulled over it's for "a routine check" or "roadside safety" or "improper exhaust" which has a silencer on it so they have no reason to give me tickets. I've also got my car insured, registered, and licensed as a road legal track car and since I have a clean record, nobody hassles me beyond checking my license and registration but that careless driving ticket, was bogus.
