[QUOTE="Cobra Jet 429, post: 8366457, member: 14497"] I'm a delivery driver.... I RELY on tips I get for getting food to the customer fast. They don't want lukewarm pasta dinners, grinders, or pizza. If it's cold I get little to no tip. Do I speed, hell yes I speed! Course I'm smart about it, but still my job REQUIRES me to speed. The town I deliver in is big enough where my delivery could be a 5 mile drive one way! On top of that it's all hill roads with no direct route, it's friday night at 8:30, and the shop is slammed. Yeah let me slow it down. I have gotten pulled over, but the LEOs in town are pretty understanding that if I don't speed, I don't make money. Why? Because I deliver to atleast 1 of them a night, and just like the rest of us they want hot fresh food, not lukewarm crap. But they bust pretty much everyone elses' balls. Especially since the town borders another state, tho I give them props for that since most of the CT drivers only clog the roads up and cause issues since the traffic laws are abit different. But reguardless getting a ticket for 5 over? That's geniune BULLSHIT! Thats within the margin of error for a speedometer. A motorist thinks they are doing just over 30, lets say 32, but the speedo is off 3 miles per hour, bam 5 over the limit... and a motorist who believes they aren't in the wrong. Well now it's a fat ticket... so apparently, everyone is supposed to do exactly the speed limit, not a MPH over, with no margin for error. These people aren't doing like 20mph over the limit, they are getting tickets for minor offenses that at best warrant a written or verbal warning. Call it personal responsibility if you want, I call it BS, with all the drivers on the road there NEEDS to be breathing room. Not everyone has a perfectly calibrated speedo, not everyone has cruise control, and not everyone is driving under the same circumstances. [/QUOTE]
