Better watch out...too many of those tickets and you'll lose your licence (or it will be restricted.) It only took 10 points here in Michigan for my brother-in-law's licence to be restricted. (Due to driving like an idiot & street racing...he's 20) Now I see him breaking his restrictions and I think it will be funny as hell when he gets pulled over not driving to work or school and ends up losing his licence completely for a period of time. He was refused a really good job because of his driving record and the fact that the company that wanted to hire him to drive for them couldn't insure him. There are implications that you don't realize from those simple speeding tickets.

Your lives are a summation of the decisions you make in life. Whether that equation ends up positive or negative is up to you.

you just have to be "smart" about speeding...
i.e., dont speed in school zones, dont speed thru busy instersections, because with my luck, they'll bea cop there.
i know my town pretty good, and i know where cops like to hang out....thus said, i try to keep it under 20 over the limit (80 in a 60)

and are radar detectors illegal??

im not really "working" on cars im just detailing and driving them to an auction place. My friend who works there tells me how people place down bets to see who gets the auction first, its a blast and they teach you alot of neat techniques, plus the manager is cool.
