To those of you that say..i need to 'keep up' with traffic.. even if they are all speeding...
Wrong...
Let me tell you a little story..
One day on the mass pike... i WAS keeping up with morning traffic... and guess what happend?
There was a cop parked on the grass in a certain section... he must have been getting radar on us...
then a little bit further up the road..there was another cop parked and standing by his cruiser... waving at us all to pull over....
When i last looked in my rearview mirror.. at least 7 cars were lined up to get tickets, and more were being good citizens and pulling over too.....
not me.. i kept going
...i figured if he came after me, i'd plead ignorance and say i didnt know he was waving me over too...
i mean how could he prove that i was speeding, with all those cars around me?... he really couldnt.. i dont think.... but he COULD prove that the general flow of traffic that we were ALL in WAS speeding....
he never came after me.. i assume he was too busy writing... *snicker*
I learned my lesson then... i do the speed limit on the pike... and i could care less who likes it... i'm not speeding and keeping up with traffic.. because its MY insurance that goes up with every ticket.....
YOU wanna speed.. dont expect others to go down with you...
and i cant afford to risk my insurance coverage...
AND.. did you know that if you are speeding at you get in an accident with a child in the car... you CAN be charged with child endangerment..
Ask me how i know this...i'm a foster parent.. and i've seen it before on kids files that i've had.
