I got a ticket a few weeks ago too. 70 in a 60. It's my first ticket in a long time. There's this one stretch of highway that goes through the state forest, and it's all downhill. So, I start it going about 65 and just coast the whole way. I was behind someone else going faster than me too. Well, when I came out of the wooded stretch, the cop already had his lights on like he was going after the other guy. So, I pulled over so he could pass, and instead, he changed direction and got me instead! I feel like I got punished for obeying the law more than the guy in front of me (who never pulled over by the way).

But, I read on the instructions that I may be able to take a safe driving class and get out of the ticket. I'm going to try that.

AC will still never let me live my last speeding ticket down. We were up in the hills camping and decided to take my truck for a drive, we ended up on a 4x4 trail that led us pretty close to our house. We decided since we were this close we would run home and shower real quick. Afterwards we had been gone for about 3 hours and our friends were probably ready to send out the search party. I was doing 65 in a 45 and topped a little hill, I knew I was busted so I immediatley turned in to where he was sitting right behind him. He actually had to pull out on to the road and come back to get behind me. I guess he didn't want it to look like I pulled him over.

I got a simple rule when I drive that's kept me from getting a ticket for about 400,000 miles now.

No matter where I am, I make sure I'm being passed by SOMEBODY on a regular basis.

With this rule in place I can still usually go 5 over the limit, sometimes even 10.

Thank God for the speed demons that make me look slow (you know, folks like RUBY!!!! )

Bears still suck

When we lived in Lincoln, I saw several times where a pack of cars were all going the same speed but the cop would work his way up and then pull over the one with out-of-town plates.
