After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

A good friend will come bail you out of jail...BUT, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, DAMN...that was fun!

Some job involving budgets and numbers.  Yeah, I'd be miserable too...

Probably more like trade modeling.

In Nebraska, you can do the "traffic school" thing once every 3 years, get no points off your license, leave no court record for your insurance co. to use against you. But it costs $175 and takes several days of your free time.

The last time I got a ticket, I was under the old rules which called for paying $ 80 to watch movies and take a test afterward.

Now that it costs much more in both time and money,I use cruise and set it at 5 below the limit.

Actually, I've never been ticketed in doing something extremely dangerous like 50 in a 35 in the middle of town or speeding in a construction area. It's been chickenshit stuff like 70 in a 60 on a nearly-deserted road that was in good repair.

50 in a 35 is traffic speed in my home area.

I do 50 mph in 35 mph zones quite a bit, as long as it's a commercial, rather than residential, area and traffic is light.  That is the upper end of what I do in those zones, though.
