in paperback. Pick it up from your favorite bookseller today!

I confess that in 17 states and two provinces in the last month I
consistently exceeded the posted speed limits. Sometimes by quite a
large margin. I got pulled over twice, and got a ticket somewhere in
Canada. I seem to have lost the ticket. It was for something on the
order of $50 Canadian.

That's a pretty cheap ticket. A friend of mine got a ticket in Montana
for $80. He was required to pay it on the spot, too.

I confess that I exceeded the speed limit for the sole purpose of wanting
to hit triple digits. For the rest of the 7-day trip, I consistently drove
40 mph and acquired 52 speeding tickets for driving under the minimum.

Re #59: Figure out how to pay that ticket, and pay it. The only way Canadian
tickets find their way onto your license is if you don't pay them
and the provincial governments have to get aggressive about
collecting. Then they go to your home state government, and the
state finds out, and your insurance company finds out, and it sucks.

Indirectly. I paid the one I got, after talking to someone who hadn't.

RE#62 -- There's nothing like watching that '1' digit light up on a digital
speedometer.....;-).....

Oh, this was an analog speedometer. Thrilling nonetheless...I hit 111 mph
in Utah, after averaging 85-95 for much of the previous 4 states. :)

My friend had an Buick Somerset that took all the fun out of that. While
the digital dash had the physical ability to display up to 199 (probably
because it also had a km/hr setting), it was programmed to simply flash "85"
if you exceeded 85 mph. I remember almost all 1980's cars had speedometers
that couldn't read over 85 mph...was this some kind of federal requirement?
It disappeared about the time the 55 mph speed limit was lifted.

My next goal is to hit the governor limit of 154. It will not be on the road
however.....then comes reprogramming of the computer to lift that limit..;-)
