Speeding Quotas

I don't recommend speeding. I used to be a chronic, habitual speeder, but stopped once I started driving around with kids in the car. I discovered speeding didn't save much time and it has a lot of downsides.

If you have not yet come to the same conclusion, you may find it helpful to know that a large percentage of those speeding tickets are issued on the 15th and the last day of each month, due to enforcement quotas. Forewarned is forearmed.

Visibility

The most dangerous times to be on the road are dusk and dawn, but even if your car is not so wired, you should ALWAYS drive with your lights on. I just drove past the aftermath of a horrendous 4 car accident where lives were likely lost due to poor dusk visibility.
