RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

SPEEDING

Check this out. Florida has just amended their traffic laws so that speeders exceeding the limit by more than 50 mph will be fined $1000.00. A second offense like this can bring a $2,500.00 fine...a third offense can bring a $5,000.00 fine. Lest you think no one goes that fast, on the second day the law was in effect, in the first 1-1/2 hours of checking, a motorcycle was clocked at 150 mph and a Ford Mustang was going 145 mph on the Palmetto Expressway.

I wonder if the operator of that Mustang was one of those blue-haired ladies (who are everywhere in Florida) who look through the steering wheel when they drive.
