True confession time:

1) I have been pulled over twice.

2) I have never been pulled over when I wasn't on the way to church.

Cruise control is my best friend now. I also have a new perspective on
speeding, and find that it should be something that my conscience won't
allow. Why speed? It's not as if speed limits are unjust laws that force us
to sin (so we must obey them). What reason is there to break the
law? Be a better time manager, and you won't need to speed. Yes, we
can drive safely at substantially higher than the posted limit (at times)... but in this particular, there's no excuse to break it.
