He he. This week, I got my first speeding ticket ever. I never had one before. I was 7 km/h too fast. Cost me 15 Euros (about 20$). I think once in every forty years I can afford it :laugh:
I also love the airport security cartoon :laugh:
And of course the BIG list. Thanks for posting it David :-*

Morning all,
10 degrees here this morning and sunny.
What's with the speeding tickets this week? I got one too, last week, on 12/27. It was the second one in my life (the first one was 30 years ago) and the fourth time I have been stopped. Two times I managed to talk the cop out of giving me one (once with a state trooper!) but not last week. This guy was bound and determined to cite me. I think they had to balance the budget at the end of the month or something.
Total cost: $137

In Connecticut we have a law that allows you to make a right turn at a red traffic light if: you stopped, looked and there were no other cars coming the other direction. This has developed into: slow down, turn right thru the red light without stopping if you think there is a chance the car coming the other direction will be able to slam on his brakes even though he has the right of way.

Here in Maine, we have a right on red law, too, but I always thought it was optional, not required. It really bugs me if I am at the light and I decide not to turn and the people behind me start honking! Since I am at the head of the line, maybe I can see something they can't?
Also, if it is posted "No right on red" then you CAN'T make a turn on the red light. Even so, people will honk at you to turn. Why? It drives me nuts.

More questions...
Why is the big building at the airport called THE TERMINAL?
Why is it always THE FINAL APPROACH when you are about to land?

On my way to work (which is mid day) I see so many people driving recklessly. Gabbing on their cell phones, weaving in and out of traffic at high speed, no turn signals, tailgating and the one that scares the the most? The person who changes lanes in front of you using a spot no bigger than their car length nearly taking your front bumper off.

My big question is..........
Where is everyone going in such a hurry?

yesterday I was driving on a divided highway and a driver was driving on my side going the opposite direction...people were running off the road to avoid hitting him.
How far do you have to drive on the wrong side before you notice? and when you do notice why don't you PULL over!!
::) ::)
(it was only noon...surely he wasn't drunk that early...or late)
