I'm Bound to Get Pulled Over Eventually

[yellomalibu]

I had the pleasure one Sunday morning to be driving on the Atlanta beltway. Sunday morning, not gridlock at that time. I was literally going 100 mph in one of the middle lanes, trying to stay out of the way, and getting passed on both doors. Speeding tickets are all about commerce and income for whatever locality. Nobody can tell me speeding tickets are about safety, because folks are going to do what they do anyhow, and the government cashes in on it, through fines.

Hmmm ... I'm actually surprised that the safety guy took this stance.

Even on a closed course, there is still a danger, but on public roads at those speeds, any mishap could or would likely become a catastrophic or tragic mishap...

On the other hand, I realize that obstructing traffic can often be more dangerous than going with the flow. People lose their damn minds when they want to go 90 and you're only going 80; causing them to do all sorts of dangerous things.

My point here, well, I don't have one.
