I know, I know; I'm horrible.
This. I don't understand the mentality. Most of this forum loves to complain about other drivers doing things they shouldn't, but expects to be allowed to speed when nobody is looking. Radio stations broadcasting the radar locations really bugs me. Instead of encouraging speeding but not getting caught, why isn't the message of "just don't speed" reinforced?

I don't speed. Yes there are times when I realize I'm going over the limit unintentionally, but if I get pulled over in those situations and am given a ticket, I will likely have deserved it.
