Rainman, Career Criminal

Yesterday about a mile from my house I was sprinting to make a green light (which I did while it was still green, thank you very much) when a glance at my computer showed that I was going over 24 mph which I realized exceeded the 20 mph speed limit on this sorta back street. I still feel guilty. :angel:

All speeding motorists should be sentenced to riding a bicycle instead of driving a car. I can live with 4 miles per hour over the limit in my neighborhood.

Sounds good to me, Pete.

And how about: all city officials should be required to ride the bus to work at least two days a week.

I think public transportation would improve dramatically.
