warning: If you're easily offended, don't bother reading further...you're just not going to like what I have to say

problem: you lose your car for a week if you get caught doing 50KPH over the speedlimit

solution: don't go 50KPH over the speedlimit.

Every 4 point ticket I got, I earned... did I get the ticket at a point where the speed limits changed? yes... is that my fault? hell yeah... I know it's coming up, I saw the signage -- I didn't make the adjustment in time -- that's my fault, not the cop's, or the potential kid that could have darted out into the road.

I see posts where people are saying how great a driver they are, and then, in the same post, are worried that they'll get a speeding ticket because they weren't paying attention. Am I the only one who gets the irony of this?

I'm all for this law. It sucks that we need it, but we need it for all the reasons ztwsquared pointed out. The laws will hopefully start teaching a few things people never learned at Lucky Driving School -- hard lessons to be sure, but it's your responsibility to know the law, and your choice weither you obey it or not.

Don't come complaining if you break the law and get caught.

And the saddest part is that people are still going to think it's their right to do whatever they want on the road, and then get pissed off when they get caught (it's already happened with the 4 people I know who've lost their cars).
