I love cops and they are mostly pretty good Joe's. This is nothing to brag about but I get stopped pretty regularly. You see.. I drive fast, always have always will and never wear my seat belt. You would think someone only 5 months away from his 60th birthday would learn but I haven't. Luckily I do most of my driving out of state and the tickets do not show up on my driving record, just getting expensive. I could probably buy a new tractor if I had all the money I have spent on tickets in my life.
Was stopped in-state last summer for speeding and the officer asked me why I wasn't wearing my seat belt. My answer was honest "Never do, but I will put it on before I drive off". He ended up just giving me a warning for speeding and a lecture on the seatbelt but no ticket.
I have slowed down a little, several years ago I received 13 tickets in one year and this was with a radar detector. Can't count the number of time the RD saved my butt, don't leave home without it.
Oh and no one will ever be able to convince me that speed is any more dangerous than someone doing 60 on a interstate posted 65. Speed doesn't cause accidents Idiot drivers that aren't paying attention, drunk or asleep is what causes accidents.
