Both speeding tickets are not me driving stupid. Im pretty sure everyone does 10 over, esp in a 20. And I was 15 ft from where the speed limit changed from 30 to 45 when I got the 40 mph ticket.
Actually no, i dont. I go 6 over max, but usually only 2-3 over.
If it was a 20, it was probably in a neighborhood. I never ever speed in neighborhoods.
In addition, if i am going to speed, i make sure its on the highway where i have great visibility and little traffic to contend with, i always pay attention to brake lights in the distance (following the rabbit) to see if there is a cop or another obstacle ahead.
It doesn't matter if the sign was 15 ft away. The speed limits and rules are there for a reason, and you DO have to respect them. As you very well know.
You had already been klinked by an officer before, you knew to be on your toes. Instead of learning a lesson, you went back to driving irresponsibly.
Hey, its happened to me, its happened to a lot of us. I wasn't always the best driver, but after a couple tickets and paying my own bills i sure learned my lesson. The difference was i never had any illusion as to who the responsibly lied with, i always accepted that it was me and my poor judgment that got me there. If you're going to take risks, at least take responsibility. It had nothing to do with luck, luck has kept you from getting killed or at least from getting busted when you were doing some much worse things.... and you know you have.
