If you make the choice to speed then suck it up when you get the ticket and stop whining about how unfair it is and how it is a plot of the police to make money or the insurence companies.There are a lot of things in this life that just don't make much sense but we have to deal with every single day. like the fact that here in Florida I pay the earth for car insurence called PIP which all it does is pay major medical if I am injured. I already have health insurence and from the stories I have heard good luck getting the insurence company to pay. But I have to have it if I want to have a tag for my car. I live in South Florida which is a traffic nightmare. To many people not enough roads. I don't agree with a lot of the posted speed limits but since I can't afford the ticket I don't speed. I also could not afford what it would do to my insurence rates. This is a really sore subject wirh me right now I just shelled out over 1000 dollars to help my son get his license back from all his speeding tickets not to mention that now even though he does not own a car he is required to carry car insurence a non owners policy which is more expensive than if he had a car. What a crock. But its the law and he would have been much smarter to have just cooled his jets.An aside I also live on one of those shortcut roads. It runs the same direction as the as the main road but has no lights so people take it to avoid the zillion lights. The problem is this is an urban area with lots of kids and no fraking sidewalks. (The city thinks sidewalks detracts from the country atmosphere. Please this has not been country since the late 70. ) I can't tell you how many close calls we have because of drivers speeding through. To make matters worse a lot of people park on the road. These selfish drivers don't give a damn about the people who live on this road all they care about is shaving a few extra minutes off their driving time.</blockquote>
