== Turn on heavy imitative sarcasm...

Thanks  (Mr.  Decker)  for your  story  about you  fighting  all of your
traffic  tickets, and your  statements  like "The cops...  would have to
give tickets only when a serious crime is being committed."

Over the years I've tried to drive in such a manner as to avoid  getting
tickets.  I find that I never get any.

I just naturally drive as safely as I can, and don't have to be "just as
careful"  as anyone  else.  I think that who ever writes  articles  like
yours should be given a bright orange warning license plate.

== Turn on common sense...

Honestly,  do you  really  think  driving a sporty car makes you  safer?
That the  right way to avoid  traffic  ticket  blues is to learn  how to
fight them in court?  That your attitude  fosters better driving  habits
and  that,  uniformly  applied,  it would  lead to fewer  deaths  on the
highway?

Sorry  if  you  are  offended  by  this.  I'm  offended  by  people  who
deliberately   drive  poorly  (like  tailgators,  may  their  headlights
implode), and have to fight it any way I can.
