Default Re: Sumpter Landing Police

I guess I am one of those nonspeeders described in an earlier post as "holier than thou." I don't see it that way. When I follow local speed limits, or when I set the cruise control on 70 mph on the Turnpike, it's not so much being "holier than thou" as it is the peace of mind that comes from not having to worry that the flashing lights in my rear-view mirror are for me. I taught all our kids to drive and urged them NOT to use a radar detector but rather to drive in such a way that they do not NEED one! Yes, of course traffic ticketing serves as a revenue raiser too, but no matter what the explanation (or excuse!), it's a lot easier--and certainly less stressful--to follow the rules than have to be concerned about them constantly. IMHO....
