Or how about if you went 21 mph in a roundabout?
What about if you got that ticket for going 36 mph on Buena Vista while other cars were passing you and they did not get stopped by the police? After all, you did break the law.
If your auto insurance premium goes up as a result of that speeding ticket, would you be OK with that also since, after all, you did commit a crime?

Yes, if I got caught doing those things I would pay without complaint because it was wrong. Have I done all of the above..of course. As your mother told you, just because Johnny jumped off the roof, would you? I am constantly passed on 466 while doing 50 mph. Yes, I know the speed limit is 45 but if I get stopped, I am guilty of exceeding the speed limit.
