I try to not leave the house until after morning rush hour. Rush hour in my town is non existent in the morning..... but to get across town between 5 and 5:15 in the evening can occasionally be a nuisance...

You should try to get out of our church lot after Mass! Kath and I just sit there and watch the games till it is empty, much wonderment to behold. Christian brotherly love seems to be left in the pew. I know a Baptist will, being filled with the Holy Ghost and fearless, run your ass over in a flash on his way to the fried chicken dinner..

Leaving earlier is a difficult concept for many. Can't be having any of that common sense. When the snow starts flying they drive just as fast.

Just like shutting down a road or highway for a bad crash. Folks only know one way to get to work and they line up beeping their horns and backing up traffic even worse. I wish I had a nickle everytime someone asked if they could drive through the crash debris so they could get to work.

I wish I had a nickle everytime someone asked if they could drive through the crash debris so they could get to work. Amen to that. And at crashes I"m on my own dime and volunteering to try to avoid getting run over... RE leaving in time, I hate anything but rural. I hate even driving to our town of 4500 to go to work every day. I don't like traffic... That being said if I was in a city I'd figure out what would get me to work about 15 minutes or so early, under most situations barring a wreck or shut down roadway or flat or such... and then if any of the above happens I'll call in that X happened and I am on my way in, see ya when I get there. If thats unsatisfactory to work, they don't have to fire me, I'll give em the finger myself.

Getting to work or being in the process of doing one's work are reasons to exceed the speed limit which are held especially sacred by many.

It cracked me up hearing Pat talk about traffic in Texas.
I say, "Pat, WTF are you talking about, there's 4 trucks". I saw more vehicles in the Buc 'ee's parking lot than I did on the hiway...that is until Houston.
Until you run northern Va streets, don't talk to me about traffic. You don't know traffic.

The best ones are the ones who try and get out of the speed violation by saying how sorry they are for not seeing the flashing lights indicating the zone, because they were sending a text message
Here that would just get them another ticket. It sid here too, matter of fact it won one fella who I stopped for 48 in a 15 a shiny set of bracelets and an arraignment in front of the judge that morning

That's the problem with this gig, Bob. Traffic is moving at a stead 85-90mph and I'm standing in the middle of it. In the dark.

I figure tickets are just part of the game. Say I get 1 ticket a year for $150.00. I run 10 miles and hour over the limit to and from work. That saves me 7.5 minute each way or 15 minutes a day. Thats a hour and fifteen minutes a week if I work 48 weeks a year that saves me 60 hours a years. So that means that ticket costs me $2.50 per hour well worth it in my book. I dont even come close to getting 1 ticket a year. Its been 6 years since my last one. I will probably get two of them tomorrow after writing this post.

Its been 6 years since my last one. That's okay, it's been at least 15 years since I wrote one. My theory is that anybody worth my time is going to jail.

I wish all LE had that same attitude and left us poor hardworkin people alone . I does bother me when people dont slow down when it is obvious some one is working on the road or directing traffic.

hat's the problem with this gig, Bob. Traffic is moving at a stead 85-90mph and I'm standing in the middle of it. In the dark. If that's what you're doing you need to find a really good shrink now, cause this ain't fixin itself. There's just way too many levels of wrong there.
