Don't speed.&amp;nbsp; Just go the speed limit.&amp;nbsp; You aren't in that big of a hurry, trust me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get a speeding ticket about once every 10 years...that means I have 2 speeding tickets.&amp;nbsp; I don't usually speed, but sometimes I just lose track of how fast I'm going.&amp;nbsp; This ALMOST happened again last night.&amp;nbsp; Picture it...Colorado Springs last night.&amp;nbsp; It's a calm and&amp;nbsp;balmy 77 degrees, around 8pm, as the sun sets over the Rockies off in the distance.&amp;nbsp; I'm driving down a 2 lane highway (speed limit 65mph), and I'm doing exactly 69mph...close enough (don't judge me).&amp;nbsp; Anyway, as some of you know, as I have unfortunately admitted to it publicly, I hear the Knight Rider theme song in my head in treachorous driving conditions.&amp;nbsp; Remember that last night, however, was a nice clear evening.&amp;nbsp; So I'm driving along and I remember that I ACTUALLY HAVE THE KNIGHT RIDER SONG IN MY CD PLAYER (I made it for my kids, ssshhhh).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;So I think&amp;nbsp;"I&amp;nbsp;should play it" (wrong, I should not play it, I should not play it EVER when behind the wheel of the vehicle).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I go from a tame&amp;nbsp;regular guy driving my Jeep to something that looks like this (below) to other drivers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;
