Watch out!

Apparently the police are out in force! I saw four people get pulled over today on my commute into work... I of course was driving perfectly and using cruise control so I avoided all of the speed traps.

You know me, the perfect angel.

The cops have started to bone up on their quotas.

80 mph is the default speed on all highways and turnpikes and expressways. The posted speed is usually 65 to 70. I discovered recently that doing over 85 in this state is an automatic ticket. So let's set those cruise controls for 84 mph ladies and gentlemens.

I set mine for 74, that way I am not going 75. Super logical huh?
