So, just yesterday I was pulled over for doing 70 in a 55. Okay, fine... I was speeding.


Now, a new question: should the speed limits be raised.

I drive 70-75 on the interstate all the time, and I never get into a wreck. Now, on an open 2-lane highway with hardly anyone on it, should I not be allowed to drive faster? I think so.

The sherriff said I should drive the speed limit so I would make it home alive, and I said "Excuse me sir, but I'm tired for one, and the longer I am on the road, the more tired I will be. Further, 70 is not that fast, especially when I drive it on the interstate. Now explain to me how I might have a higher risk of dying on a highway, with little traffic, such as this one?" and he was silent and told me not to mouth off any longer. Now, I was very congenial and not really that uptight at all, I was just wondering why the sheriff was being a jerk.


Now, have you ever been picked up for speeding? Was it terrible?
