OK... first of all, I don't have any tickets, photo or otherwise. So far, so knock on wood. Speeding is not the devil, driving slow for no reason is the devil.

I do speed at all times (except when it's icy or snowy, duh), and I honestly don't understand why not. If you have a good car that can do it, then do it. I am not saying I go 150 in your neighborhood, I am saying that I go 120-130 on Deerfoot in the evening, and 100 down Glenmore and Crowchild. I'll go 70/80 on a 60 boulevard. Generally I go 10-20 over. Is that something that I should be reprimanded for? I honestly don't see why everyone can't else can't do that too, when the weather is nice. If you don't have a car that can handle it, that's one thing. Stay in the right lane. If you don't WANT to do it, then stay in the right lane. You don't own the road any more than I do, and it's not your right to police how fast I go. There's a reason why freeways are built, and they are to get you across town as fast as possible. If you don't want to go fast stay on the side streets.

Being an agressive jerk is a bad thing. I am an agressive driver, but most of the time I am not jerky. I just like to go fast. I WILL tailgate people going under the limit when there is no need, and I will do sllightly unsafe lane changes to get around them. When you have a two lane road where both lanes are clogged by idiots going under the limit I don't feel bad about cutting them off. Learn to drive, you fools.

I also support driver re-testing. Unfortunately I think it would turn into a cash grab and then people who deserve to pass would fail because the testing ######s want more money for a repeat test. Or they would accept bribes... just like they do now (and don't try to tell me that doesn't happen- either that or a lot of people are driving without a licence, or we really need to make it stricter to get a licence). I cringe at half the people I see out there doing stupid stuff, because I just get the sense they're not really understanding the whole driving thing.

Also, as a side note- understanding traffic signs is not that hard. Try it some time?
