When I get on the freeway, if I stick to the speed limit, people flash by me as if I am driving backwards. If I keep up with traffic flow, I'm speeding. It makes me nervous sometimes, but I've never been ticketed.

I remember in Morocco the police used to just pull cars over and say you were speeding and then take a bribe, especially on a Friday night when they wanted money for the weekend. Our driver kept a wallet full of cash ready.

Of course when I went to pay, only the fine notice was in the envelope, never any money, but I paid anyway. Just one of many reasons why I divorced him. He never understood that paying it straight away would save him money. of course he ended up saving money by having me pay.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
