words to live by

I’ve never gotten a speeding ticket in my life. And it’s not because I’m a perfect, law-abiding, speed-limit-driving citizen. I speed. I’ve just never been ticketed for it.

Until now.

In South Africa, cameras along the highways take grainy black-and-white photos of lead-footed drivers. I had four pictures taken, all on one day. And subsequently mailed to me with a request for payment.

It’s just like a visit to Sears Portrait Studio.

From zero to four tickets overnight. “Go big or go home” is my new motto.

Don’t suppose there’s any chance you’re gonna post those mugs - eh?

:-)

It is a great motto.

There’s just something unamerican about camera tickets! Oh wait……

But they do have them there too.

It doesn’t seem fair that they can nab you through a camera… what happened to all the fan-fare of flashing lights and loud sirens?

Do you acquire points against your license for each ticket as you do here???

Funny story…

All I know is that this made me laugh a lot.

A
lot.

Darn those Lady(poop)smith trips.

that’s so funny. (laughing out loud!)

Wow. That’s quite amazing. You have to wonder … why all in one day? Quite amazing.

i also have 4 speeding tickets, but they were accumulated through a span of 6 years. i can’t imagine the pain of having them all in one day. perhaps it’s a sign?

wow, 4 in one day?! where did this happen?
