I visited your page and noticed the following link to this:
http://members.tripod.com/~ctx1/driving/
Now heres an example of a LEO preaching how speed kills but his java
applet has a regular two lane road which isn't what a freeway is. Then
he links to such "unbiased" sources as the NHTSA and IIHS.
Then you link to these "Road Rage" pages which are hosted by biased
sources [ie. Insurance Agencies].

I have a feeling you don't agree with other people's "interpretation" if
it doesn't fall in line with your personal opinion.

And I'm sure they are more than happy to write them a ticket. Reasonable
and Prudent means just that. If some idiot goes out there in his Chevy
Sprint doing 100mph then they're an idiot. I went through there at 90
and the highway patrol didn't even look at me. The idea is to get the
dangerous driver.

I wouldn't explain anything to the officer. I'm sure he's already made
up his mind as to my getting a ticket. I'll leave any explaining for
court.
