I hope you don't learn the hard way like me, 4 speeding tix in about a 18mo period. My Insurance still hasn't dropped, and I got the last one almost 3 years ago.

well there was actually a really nasty accident i saw that someone posted up here. i don't remember what the topic name was, but i remember it being a girl crashing her dad's porsche into a toll booth at over 100 mph. everytime i speed i see those pictures, and then i slow down immediately. i mean, i know she was unexperienced but you never know what someone else on the road will do.
