I dunno, I had a new Lincoln once and sped a couple of times without realizing
it.  I take full responsibility for it, but still think the cops could have
let me off with a warning once or twice.  I mean, coming down from the Cajon
grade in a new car and hitting 75, come on.  That's worse than some old guy
riding his brakes all the way down?  And what about all the nutcases that 
went by at 90 while I'm being written up?

Somebody cuts you off, so that means you are deliberately tailgating?

Your rear tire spins on a pile of gravel, so now you are deliberately out of
control of your vehicle?

You're doing above the speed limit in the left lane of the freeway, all of a
sudden three lanes of cars come up behind you very fast.  You're not
forced to do anything?
