Speeding Tickets

There is definitely on thing in this world that everyone hates to get. No, I'm not referring to herpes or a number of other STDs. I was actually talking about speeding tickets. Yeah, that's right. Just feel your face cringe at the very thought of being pulled over. Those annoying red and blue lights in your rear-view mirror always get your boxers or panties in a twist.

After all, doesn't that cop have better things to do than pass you a speeding ticket? Ha, don't we all say this when we hear those sirens close behind? I think it's the standard reaction to speeding tickets. Then we follow it up with some statement like, 'It's not like they're ever there when you need them.' Does this sound familiar yet?

The truth is I like police officers. Sure, they give out bundles of speeding tickets, but they do a heck of a lot more than that. And if you really take the time to think about it, you were the one speeding. The moral of the story is, DON"T SPEED! It's really that cut and dry. I do think it's sad the way some folks rant on about how they hate police officers and how they don't help in any way. This is bogus! Chances are you will need a police officer at some point in your life and that will probably change your mind. Anyway, back to speeding tickets. How many have you collected so far?

My teenage daughter was the last one to get one in this household. She was doing 86 in a 50 mile an hour zone. Now that is speeding. Is there really any point to arguing about it? I mean come on, it's 35 miles an hour over the limit. Yikes! Anyway, she has to take care of all those expenses on her own. It's a plain and simple live and learn thing. Heck, I think she's lucky they didn't take her license. The funny part of the story is that she actually said to me, 'No one ever told me why you shouldn't speed, they just said don't do it, so I didn't really know.' Now that is a funny one.

Give me a break! We all know why you're not supposed to speed. It's practically innate knowledge. You don't speed because you don't want speeding tickets. Duhh! Okay, well there's also the whole law and safety issu at-hand.

If you really want to avoid speeding tickets, then make good use of your cruise control. Hey, don't laugh. I do this all the time and I haven't had a speeding ticket in 10 years. It's all about control and awareness.
