Its a fact.  EVERYBODY breaks the law when driving - there are so many laws its
impossible to obey all of them and doubly impossible to do it and not get nailed by the
other traffic (drive 55 and get rear ended by someone in the normal traffic flow at
68.)  Its just that it gets noticed more if you're doing it in a red car.

Among Sports Car Club of America members, any shade of red when applied to a car is
referred to as "Arrest-me red".
