It Pays Not To Speed
If you recall, I got a speeding ticket 1 year ago. Because I went too fast, I was unable to take traffic school, and I was unsuccessful in trying to get it removed from my record. I also had a previous ticket from December 2001, meaning that I had 2 tickets on my record, effectively eliminating my good driver discount.
Anyway, auto insurance companies only count tickets against you for 3 years, which means that my old 2001 ticket was removed this last December. Unfortunately, I was under a policy until May, so I had to wait for the price drop to take effect.
I just got my renewal policy in the mail today and it appears that with my discount reinstated that I will be saving over $300 a year. I wonder if it will go down even more once I have a totally clean record (one can dare to dream—it hasn’t really happened yet since getting my first ticket back in like 1999).
So anyway, I suppose the moral of this story is DON’T SPEED—and especially don’t get more than one ticket on your record because it takes YEARS to reverse the effects.
HOORAY for saving $$$$!! :)

No! thats wrong! why speed at all when you don’t own a car?
Confussious say!
People in Glass houses souldent throw stones.
I am so glad I take a bike!
of course, for longer trips I’ll take the train and/or bus, and hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to borrow my mom’s car :)
but a bike is a bike - all I need to check are the lights!

And Kev, how could I forget the cardinal rule of breaking the law? :)
