Angry Stopped for speeding!!

OK I am PISSED... I got stopped for speeding this morning on my way to work. 45 in a 35mph zone. GRRRRRRR I will admit to 40, but the laws of physics would prevent you from going any faster and actually remaining on the road.

Thankfully the cop let me off with a warning, but still - ARGH! My squeaky clean driving record is history My husband suggested I frame the warning - I'm following in his family's tradition of the lead foot

IMO, "mild" speeding (5-10mph above the posted speed limit) is ok because speed limits are set with a margin of error. But why the he!! aren't the cops ticketing the @$$holes who run stop signs and red lights, tailgate, pass on blind curves etc? Instead they hit the (relatively) innocent commuter. Grrr.

Just gotta grouse here... sorry guys
