Fast, my ass...

I hate speeding tickets. Of all the useless things out there, speeding tickets are at the top of my list. In case you were wondering what pre-empted my rant, I just got a ticket the other day. The cop said that he was going 110 MPH and couldn't catch me. If I hadn't gotten to my house, he wouldn't have caught me. I didn't even know he was back there. He told me he felt "unsafe" driving at those speeds. I think he's a wimp.

First, there is no way that I was going 110.

Second, I was driving on a completely empty road at 1 in the morning. Here in PA, nobody is out at 1 in the morning. The road was completely empty, and even though I was speeding, I did not see another car for 5 miles from my house.

Third, it was a big smooth road that easily supports a car going 110+.

The speed limit laws are arbitrary. They are stupid. Now it's going to take a year for the points to get knocked off. And if there is anything stupider than speeding tickets, it is PA's point system. Thanks PennDOT. Thank you officer whateveryournamewas. I feel safer already.

Oh, I should mention that about 9 months ago I reported a drunk driver. I led the cop right to him. The cop confronted him. The cop did not arrest him. The cop did not even give him a ticket. This was a drunk driver that I personally witness almost hitting 2 other people (one pedestrian, one car).

Stupid ticket. Stupid cops. Stupid state.

Like I said, I feel safer.
