Well my 3 years are up since I last got my speeding ticket. I was destined to get one sooner or later. I was driving down 169 laughing at the talk radio station that I listen to and whoops there is an unmarked cop car sitting there waiting for me. I had no idea how fast I was driving. He told me 71 in a 55. I totally deserved the ticket. It was cheaper than my last one 3 year ago (different county).
As my punishment for myself, I had to work extra to pay the speeding ticket. So Thursday I worked from 6:30 AM to 11:45 PM. I am also going in on Monday morning at 4:00AM and working until 3:30 pm. That should give me enough money to pay for it and a bit of punishment for my feet since we are on our feet all day.
I really need to learn to set my cruise more often.

not bad for three years... I was pulled over every year that I was in college (only 1 ticket, thank goodness!), but I've escaped them since leaving the country! Here they just take a picture of your car and send you the bill.
I got pulled over last year just before applefest, when the road was under construction. The guy (a state trooper)asked where I lived; I explained. He said he would let me off, b/c I lived next to a stressful neighbor who liked to sue people! I've never been sued, but the next door neighbors have a restraining order against them. Apparently while they were reroofing their house, they were dancing on the roof. It probably wasn't pretty, but not really restraining-order worthy!
