Really, it seems like anytime anyone posts anything about driving fast on public roads, people get upset. There's always a core group of people here on MF who have to write these comments. We know what you're going to write, you do it every time, just save us the trouble and don't post it please. It amazes me that people here get chastised for driving our mustangs like sports cars and not commuter cars.

and amen to the earlier posts about being old enough to have a daughter in dance class doesn't necessarily mean you don't have momentary lapses of stupidity. i can certainly attest to that!
wasn't going all that fast FWIW so the nannies out there can chill. maybe 40 in a 35. just made a moderately aggressive lane change w/o signalling. biggest part of the reason for posting the story at all was that the constable referred to himself as the po-po!! nice guy, i shoulda tossed him the keys and let him take it for a spin.

Uh, this reminds me...got nabbed going 40 in a 25...plead not guilty, went to court, talked to the prosecutor, they dropped the 4 points for a small fee of $440!!! And cash or check right on the spot, ouch! Guess its worth it compared to what my insurance would've hiked up to! ( I'm in NJ)

Sorry if it sounded like I was talking about you, Dragline. I was referring to my stupidity at age 57. It seems like I should be getting over it by now!?! Hey, he didn't get a ticket, I did. That's why I got the RD!

no apology req'd, MarkMan, I liked your post. There's a fine line between stupidity and having fun, eh?
