Did he offer you commission?
:lol:

I don't think he gets paid on productivity so he wouldn't be in a position to offer a commission. 109, less than 70mph, seems a moderate enough speed for a four lane highway that widens to six lanes half a mile ahead. Do you find it surprising that it would considered usual to go at such a pace?

$145 by the time I paid it online, no points (or whatever) as I was done by a sneaky one, doing 52 in a 30 playground zone, that is really hard to spot if you turn on to the avenue from one of the streets in the middle of the zone.

Anyway, what's your exeperiences of speeding or am I the only div???? I really try not to too! But honestly didn't know!

Won't tell you what Gaynor said I have to do when I tell Mr Miggins though lol!

Happy driving

(a $145 lighter :confused:)

Mrs Miggins

I know it's too late to say this but, the speed limit is a limit - not a target.

You too Phil! (well that makes me feel better lol)

I am fricking dreading checking my post in the mornings now......

Talk about keen! I suppose its what happens for living in a city with a low crime rate where the cops hang out at Timmies and do speed stuff lol!

Still smarting somewhat

Excuse my lame attempt at humour :o, especially as you probably still have a sense of humour failure after the fine! :unsure:

Nice to know I'm not alone - It's the same for me! :blink:
