>I find that what most people say about receiving a speeding ticket follows

>Over my 51 years of driving, I have never had an accident or insurance

>had these conversations because I have been awarded something between 20

>actually speeding. What a coincidence.

>When I amortize the cost of the tickets over the number of miles I've
>driven over the limit, it's really not been all that expensive (except for
>those darned insurance bills).
