Yeah, serious question. Why do you speed?
Back when I was stationed at Ft. Hood, I remember reading an article in the post newspaper that talked about speeding. So many soldiers were having wrecks due to being late for formation that the army did a study to show how speeding really saved no time or very little time as to make it not worth it.
I’ve always remembered that.
A couple of years later, after I got out of the army, I got a ticket and not paying the fine (I tried but that’s a whole different story)a warrant was issued against me. Afraid of getting arrested, I tried to not bring attention to myself by getting pulled over so I started driving the speed limit. That was over 40 years ago. It became such a habit that I’m very comfortable driving the limit. I’m now a cruise control junkie.
The peace of mind is wonderfully relaxing. No more panic braking. No constantly looking for da man. When I do see a cop I don’t even look at my speedometer cuz I know I’m good. These days it seems as though I’m the slowest driver around. I rarely pass anyone. Of course I swear that if I was doing 100 mph, someone would pass me up. Lol!
I’ve also discovered, since becoming a GOF, that setting my cruise at the speed limit really pizzes people off. Gotta admit, I’m kinda getting a kick out of that. It’s a GOF’s prerogative.
Now I will confess that my Harley has a mind of its own and really likes to cruise around 80. I try to hold her back but it’s hard.
So, long story long, why do you speed? Is it because you’re always late, impatient, love going fast, feel like you’re getting away with something?
What’s you excuse.
Just curious.
For the LEO’s, is it really breaking the law to speed or is it considered something else.
Most people are pretty much law abiding citizens in most things except when it comes to the speed limit. Why is that?
