Mr. Silver, I've never gotten a ticket in my life. On the other hand, I don't take the speed limit as a suggestion. If anything, I drive under the speed limit (because I want to save fuel). I don't imagine being female has anything to do with following the speed limit. Or perhaps it does?

At any rate, I can't really give you much of an answer .

I make dh negotiate all the auto stuff or have it ready when I walk in, I get treated better that way. I also know a little about cars b/c I used to work in auto parts, so I have a legup there, but no I'm not an expert. I drive a 13 yr old Volvo and when I go in assertive and know what I'm talking about, I get treated w/ respect. I think that is true for any car. Know your car

As for the ticket, I only got one too and I deserved it. I had to go to the orthodontist to have a repair done and I was going 77 in a 55. Fortunately I got it in a cheap rural county and didn't have to pay much, although my dad wasn't happy( I was 20 at the time)
