I don't make speeding a priority but sometimes I might find myself going a bit fast every once in a while. We have this little cut through street that the local Haymarket police like to camp out on to try and "get" innocent folks that aren't "bad" people. I think it is simply people that are zoned out rocking to a good song or something that unknowingly tap the gas a bit heavy.
I love when in my "zoned" stage and singing a bit too carefree, that a loving, oncoming car, flashes their lights, warning me of what's ahead...a cop (I love saying cop)! I snap out of my personal concert and check my speed...I usually hit the brakes just in case (okay, I always have to hit my brakes...come on, the speed limit is only 25 mph, impossible speed to maintain). As I pass the policeman, going 24, I am thankful I was warned...and feel like a good citizen.
Today I passed such a situation and was able to use my lights to warn a few people. They waved in appreciation as I passed. It didn't look like any of them were speeding or even rocking out to Pink, but they had been warned.
Just a random thought...don't go speeding in the first place, okay?! Consider yourself warned!
It is especially bad to speed because then when you move and need new insurance you don't qualify for the "good driver discount." Like I'm not a good driver. AND, if you were to get a speeding ticket the week before you moved you might loose it in the paper mess and forget about it until you get a letter saying that your liscence has been suspended. You might. So I totally agree, don't speed.
