Another speeding ticket, rant Options

[Legit94GT]

I hate cops.
They have better stuff to do than to ****ing sit there and hide and laser people!!!??? ugh go solve a real crime, wow you caught me speeding good job, i hope you get a freaking medal for it!

I hate oregon speed zones 55 on a freeway come on now!

The last two times i've gotten tickets it has been when i wasnt paying attention to my speed and didnt realize i was doin 79, its not like i was doing it purpose!

the funny thing is that i decided i should stop to get some gas cause i might no make it into Washington to pump my own gas, being 12:45pm gas stations in oregon arent open, luckily i found one and put some gas in. Now if i hadn't done that i would have been watching my speed and doing like 60 the whole way home to make sure i got good gas mileage, but because i caught gas i didnt care if i was going over 60...


UGH im so done paying for their salaries!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I am certainly no advocate for cops. I feel that the majority of them are working out some sort of inferiority thing from their childhoods and have put themselves in a position that gives them power over others. That being said, there are cops out there who are just regular folks who need a job and managed to get hired by a locality for a steady salary and some decent benefits, and there are others still who legitimately want to help people. But regardless of which type of officer you might come in contact with, the bottom line is that if you break the law, you must be prepared to deal with the consequences in the event you are caught doing so.

Life is all about choices. You choose to speed, despite the chance that you may pass a cop and that he or she may pull you over and that the stop might result in a ticket, a fine, points on your license, jail time, or any or all of the above. I usually drive between 10 and 20 mph over the speed limit. I like to go fast, but in Virginia, 20 mph or more over any limit can be ticketed as reckless driving, which really ups the ante. I have chosen to accept the risk of a speeding ticket, but not a reckless driving ticket. If and when I do get pulled over, I look at the resulting fine as my dues for having sped my ass all over the countryside all the times that I got away with it. I gladly pay my dues and continue to speed. If I get caught too many times and the dues become higher than I am willing to pay, I chill out for a while. But it's still my choice, just like it's yours. If you make that choice, don't gripe when it turns out not to your liking. That pretty much goes for the rest of life as well.
