my kids mom and my ex both consistently drive at least 80 on the only superhighway in Alberta I suppose you could call it, the QE2. It's a 70 mph stretch that's heavily patrolled. And neither has ever picked up a speeding ticket. Boggles my mind. Sneeze wrong, I find a ticket it seems so I don't drive more than 5mph over the speed limit, if that. I drive for a living so I can't be getting a bunch of tickets. My last ticket really pissed me off. One year ago, I decided spontaneously to follow up on some fixit idea and went to the hardware store on a quiet evening int he neighborhood. I'm literally one block away from my house, in a residential neighborhood, and pull up to a stop sign. I can't say for sure I did a rolling stop or didn't. I think I stopped but was fast enough there wasn't that split second pause. Anyway, timing of it all was such I saw a cruiser right at the curb to my left, just sitting there. I go around the corner, praying I had stopped, lights come on. FK!!!!! He was friendly enough but without a prompt he says, you did a rolling stop and we got it on camera. DAMMIT. In Alberta that's like a 380 dollar fine I think it was. Was so pissed. I've been driving 300 miles everyday for 2 years for work without one ticket. I ended up taking a commercial driving test that at least got the demerits removed from my license and now I make damn sure I'm at a dead stop. With all these speed on cameras and radars , construction zones in the summer, driving is frustrating.
