sobbing speeders

"Drivers stunned by new speeding law"

where have these people been for like the last 4 months? hiding under a rock? actively ignoring the world outside what pertains to them? did they not squeeze out a little emotion for the tragic accidents that speeding (specifically street racing) has caused? how could you have possible not known about the new street racing laws? there have been radio & tv commercials, newspaper announcements, and signs on the highway! you head has to be pretty far up your ass if you think you're going to get away with claiming ignorance when the fuzz nabs your sorry ass!

how in hell can you not realize you're going 50 over the speed limit?!?
ontario police sgt dennis mahoney-bruer offers a hint: "A little indication (is) if you're going down the highway and you're passing everybody - hello, chances are you're speeding." it's not that everyone else on the road drives like your grandmother - it's you mother-f**ker!

wah-wah... you f**king babies. what did you think was going to happen? only a ticket? for only 20 over, you get a substantial ticket and demerit points on your license! that 30 (or more) extra over something that's already illegal! you think there will be the same or less consequence? you head really must be up you ass! a line had to be drawn somewhere or else people would just keep going faster and faster. i feel absolutely no sympathy for there boo-hooers that have had their cars impounded and licenses suspended.

but will they learn anything? unfortunately, probably not. this new law has given drivers the pipe dream that they can anywhere up to just under 150 without getting nabbed! says mahoney-bruer, "[...] I went out looking for 50km/h and above [I] had none. The highest speed I had was 48 over." but really, what's the difference between 148 and 150? there really ought to be exponential speeding fines. that way, even speeders going just under the "big punishment" level will still be severely punished.

i'm not saying i'm the perfect driver... not by a long shot. i occasionally tailgate. i pass on the right. i speed, but not excessively. my top speed is generally 130 on the highway with very few exceptions. my comfort speed (for me and coincidentally my car's engine) is only about 115. but my speeding isn't just about liking to go fast, it's mostly about fear - fear of getting driven off the road by people who think the speed limit is set as a minimum! when you're passing someone at 130 in the designated passing lane and some turkey comes ripping up behind you and starts high-beaming you, your life starts flashing before your eyes! people in a hurry are often angry... perhaps for no particular reason, perhaps at you for making them take their foot off the gas pedal or having the remember again where the brake pedal is... who knows but stories of road rage are plentiful and speeding to save your skin is often necessary. but an excuse like that will never fly when the po-po pull you over so don't try it.

ok... i think i've got it all out now. being intruped several times whislt writing this has calmed my rage a tad which i think is probably a good thing. i feel much better. thanks for listening!
