You’ve never gotten a speeding ticket?! So have you ever been pulled over in your life? That’s remarkable if actually true.

I got pulled over one time after my shift at Blockbuster because my license plate light was out….

I have. It's just been over 30 years ago, now that I think about it. The last speeding ticket I received was when I was 17 years old. I was late to softball practice and was clocked going 76 MPH in a 35 MPH zone, which was right in front of the ball field. The cop wrote me up, threatened to take me to jail and yelled at me for like 45 minutes, all while my friends looked on and laughed. I still have an incredibly heavy foot to this day, but one benefit I have is living in a very rural area. You rarely see cops near where I live. People out here tend not to call the cops. We take care of issues ourselves and there are tons of country roads with no traffic. I only go into the city when I absolutely have to and when I do, I am very careful.

Agreed. Just be aware of your surroundings.
