The first 5 years I was driving, I received enough tickets to wallpaper a small bathroom. Everything from speeding to having less than 2/32" tread on one spot on one tire. In the 5 years that followed, I got another 5 or 6 tickets. In the past ten years, I haven't received a single ticket. No, wait, I got one for speeding along Highway 101 near Santa Maria 6 years ago. Anyway, my point is that if you don't want tickets, drive smart. You don't have to race every car with a hole in their muffler, and you don't have to beat every changing traffic light. Pretend like there is always a cop either behind you or around the next corner, and you'll be fine. Street racing is fun, and if you're going to do it, do it in a safe, isolated place, then LEAVE! Don't wait around for the cops to find you. When you're out late at night, remember that the odds are alot better that you're going to be seen by a cop. In fact, the odds are alot better that the car who's headlights you see way back in your mirror IS a cop. Drive smart.

Take care
