Well, I officially got my first speeding ticket coming home from Mike and Monica's wedding on Saturday October 11th. It was 11:54 pm, I was on 81 North driving through Virginia, with my cruise control set at 75. I thought I was being quite responsible, as I usually drive a mere 85 mph. Jason was catching some Z's and I was very sleepy, so I figured I better play it safe, and drive a little slow. All of the sudden, in the median, I saw lights come on and whip around as a car pulled onto the highway right behind me. It seemed rather strange, and then when the flashing lights came on, I felt sorry for the person he was after. I mean, he couldn't be coming after me, I was only going 75! And then a sinking sensation came over me when I realized, 'hmmm, I am the only person on this road, I think he might be coming after me'. I slowed down and pulled off the highway, still slightly expecting him to fly past me in his pursuit of the "other" crazy driver. No such luck. We exchanged pleasantries, and I owe the state of Virginia $125. Bummer!
I guess it was a long time coming! : ) Speedracer better slow down. . .

Good grief! I got my first speeding ticket within 2 years of having my license. Then again I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since then. But still!
