When you think about it, you can’t get a ticket for speeding. Unless you are at rest, you have some speed. The ticket is for exceeding the speed limit, but as Einstein told us, there are no privileged frames of reference. You could be stationary and the road is moving past you at 85 mph. We’re all traveling at about 1,700 mph as the Earth rotates and the sun is speeding around the Galaxy even faster and the galaxy is in a headlong rush to collide with the Andromeda Galaxy. But try telling that to a judge.

I wonder about that sometimes when I see cars doing 50 in our 35 zone.

Fine for Speeding – I’m glad that the road was tested for speed.

My mother used to read the “SLOW CHILDREN AHEAD” signs and mumble “How sad…”

Why do we drive on Parkways and park on driveways?

Especially when you confuse the route sign for the speed sign.

On the autobahn, speeds are posted in mach, not kph.
