Some buddies of mine in high school got caught doing 60 in a 25 - the police officer that pulled them over told them that if they went 5 mph faster, he could nail them on attempted manslaughter. He should have kicked their ass right then and there.

I personally don't understand what the problem is driving the speed limit. Sure, I understand that people get distracted sometimes and go a little bit faster, but the assholes that drive where I live seem like they race to each stop sign. In Denmark fines are assigned on a percentage of your income - sounds like a pretty good deterrent to me. I mean, why do we have the law in the first place if everyone ignores it? Why does the spedometer list it's top speed at 120 mph when I can't legally drive that fast anywhere in North America? I just don't understand that. But I digress.....

I'm not saying I'm perfect, but in my opinion it's a ticket that I can avoid. That's right - I'm that slow bastard that your grandpa is passing and giving the finger. It's a joke amongst all of my friends - I'm the slowest driver ever.

My wife, on the other hand...........
