I Fly Low

Well... I guess I was due. Last night the CHP nailed me for speeding for the 4th time in my life. It's never fun to get pulled over and I truly wish it was as easy for guys to get out of tickets as it is for ladies... but I honestly wasn't too upset by the whole thing. I figured I was due.


All 4 of the tickets I have received have all been almost identical... on the freeway doing between 75 and 80 MPH. And I'd have to say that's very typically of the way that I drive on the freeway. And more times than not, I'm flowing with traffic... not whizzing by people like you'd think. And the other thing is that the tickets have all come about 2 to 2-1/2 years apart. Another reason I figured I was due... because it's be almost 3 years at this point.


Now in my own defense... you'd never catch me doing more than 5 MPH over the speed limit on any commercial or residential street. There is just too much going on in those circumstances and the possibilities of something jumping out in front of me are so much higher. On the freeway though... I figure everyones headed the same way and moving at similar speeds.


And now that I've finished with this post, I'm going to go knock on every piece of wood in the house... to make sure I avoid totally jinxing myself here!!

So I'm averaging 0.364 tickets per year of driving... what's your average?
