Hel-lo? Mc Fly?

I guess you've never, ever, seen the Metro Police patrolling places like 
Memorial Drive, Mc Grath Highway, Storrow Drive, Rt. 16 near Wellington
Station, etc., where the limit is artificially set low (like 35 for a three-
lanes-each-way highway), looking for speeders doing, say 45 or 50? These
cops are using RADAR. Why do I say "artificially set low"? Because people
tend to drive at the speed that they are comfortable, and most competent
drivers will see large expanses of road like that and won't go 35. My
detector comes on every time I'm on the road. You don't have to be doing
anymore than 56 in a 55 to be "speeding", you know.

The scary part is I have to share the road with people to whom this revelation
is news.... Oh well, I guess it's better to trap the unwary, so that the care-
ful don't get caught.
