Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Speeding tickets

[jimshadow (jimshadow]

And having been hit a couple years ago in the Ferrari, I'm a little skittish on 
close traffic.   I had the Scooby in front of me and a Yukon right on my 
ass....it certainly WAS safer for me to be away from them, but for mister "by 
the book".....he only saw black and white!

Yeah, I hate that "logic."  I once passed -- quite safely, with plenty of room 
-- a few cars that were bunched up in front of my p-car.  They were probably 
going around 50 in a 55 limit area.  The officer had absolutely no sympathy for 
the sensible argument that it was a lot safer to pass at a speed in excess of 
55, thereby dramatically reducing the time in which I was in the opposing lane.
