Find me someone who actually goes 15 in a 15 mph zone. Seriously.
I don't speed in school zones at all, but then again I've got 2 kids, so I'm probably more freaked out about it than most. Regardless, speeding happens to all of us. Sorry to hear about the ticket.

I'm going to check into the speedometer thing. My Jeep has 30's on it (they were on it when I bought it). Stock size was 28's I believe.

I have some 31's and some 33's if you should happen to want to borrow them, but that won't be necessary.

I cant even lie, i was doing about 26 when i rolled up on those 2 bicycle cops today...luckily i came up from behind and noticed them before they noticed me. I made it a point to do 15mph after that lol.

edit- My driving record is far from perfect...but all mistakes were made when i was younger. I was just giving Chad a hard time :P

I'm just giving you shit. I didn't mean for that to sound like a personal attack, but I have to admit that it does irritate the shit out of me when everyone claims they've always been on the high road and never done anything wrong. We're all fuck ups by nature here. I certainly am! lol.. No one seems to intentionally speed, but 15mph truly is absurdly slow and it's hard for me to picture anything less than 25mph being reckless, ya know?
