Sometimes I’m in a hurry.

Let me preface this by stating that I don’t condone or encourage speeding or breaking any highway laws. I’m just going to tell you what I do. :angel:

I have a couple different approaches I take if I want to drive over the posted speed limit on the highway.

1. The mirror.

Simply wait for someone to pass you and mirror his speed. Simple, effective, and he’s the one the cop’s gonna see first.

But, keep this in mind — My brother and two of his biker buddies were crammin’ on their Harleys at 3 a.m. on an empty stretch of highway. Empty, save for the police car that started to give chase.

My brother pulled over.

When he asked the officer why he didn’t give chase and ticket the others, the officer replied, “We only ticket whoever stops first.”

2. (and the one I generally use) The fox and the hound

Do your speeding in the right hand lane. When a policeman’s radar detector goes off, they instinctively look to the left hand lane to spot the speeder. Staying in the right hand lane as much as possible, greatly increases the chances that you’ll be overlooked. Further, it keeps you more aware of your surroundings as you need to look ahead and make plans.

Maybe I should have began this post with my “two second rule.”

Under all driving conditions, never look at anything longer than two seconds. Always be moving your eyes. From the rear-view mirror, to the front of the car, to the side-view mirror, to the front of the car, to the billboard, to down the road, to . . . well, you get the idea. But the two second rule can make you a much safer driver by keeping you more aware.

And, safe driving is all about awareness. :)

So stay alert, stay aware, and stay outa the fast lane.
