This is funny, and it reminds me of a guy I used to know whom I christened
"F***in' cops". He'd storm into work at least once or twice a month
muttering "F***in' cops!". And yes, as you've probably already guessed, he
got one or two traffic tickets a month. Naturally, it never dawned on him
that driving the speed limit might be the answer to his troubles.


What state was that? In PA or NY, you do that for about two months and
you'd no longer have a license.

Sounds like an urban legend to me...

Washington State. And I can assure you, it's no urban legend. I have no idea
whether the guy in question ever had his license revoked, though.

My one time in traffic court, I listened as the rap sheets of other drivers
were read out, and some of them ran on for a considerable time. And they all
had valid licenses. For the moment, anyway.
