Kind of OT: I remember when I was younger I used to be so pissed off at people that drove the speed limit around town. Really, who wants to take 20 minutes to go across town at 25mph? Now, 20 years later I still like speed but I now have kids of my own and I occasionaly see someone go like 60mph in my residential street where the limit is 25mph. I think that any parent on that street would be justified if they pulled out a rifle and put a bullet in that person's car. I don't think young people realize the pitfalls of speed on residential streets. I don't think any amount of explaining, pleading, persecuting will change that. I got my share of tickets when I was young. The ticketing did not change me one bit. Society has to find a different way to curb such speeding. Ticketing kids is just a tax on the parents and especially parents of male drivers.
