Exactly, Chronic. To me, speeding tickets are simply part of my transportation expenses. Some days I get one...hundreds of other days I don't get any. When a cop pulls me over and asks, "Do you know why I stopped you?" I've already got my license and registration in my hand hanging out the window and respond, "Yes, sir...I was doing 73 in a 45 and that's speeding. Where do I sign the ticket?" He goes back to his car, checks to make sure I'm not some brown savage mud person who's not supposed to be in this country and then hands me my speeding ticket to sign. I sign it, tear off my copy and ask while I'm starting up my car, "Anything else today, sir?" When he says no, I drop the clutch and take off again. I drive straight to the nearest mailbox, prepay the fine via check and I'm all done. Well, I do get mail later from the insurance company telling me my rates went up but, honestly...I just don't give a shit. I drive as fast as I want, when and where I want. I have received 22 speeding tickets in 28 years of driving and I'm sure I haven't seen my last. Check your rear view mirror...if you see a black Corvette, you probably want to move over and let me by so I can hurry up and either get to my destination or my next ticket. Thanks.
