Watch your speeding -- Orange county sheriff dressing as elves

I think it's hysterical. And for those complaining about it, I'd like to hear one valid reason for speeding.

Same here and agree. Think its great but I do like the idea that someone else mentioned here of donating a toy in lieu of a ticket.(in some cases) It's a sore subject here. Lost my best friend to a drunken speeder 22 years ago. Over 80 in a 50 over 2x the legal limit.
Went to Bday dinner early on Friday with family(DW,DD,83yrold DGF, his live in caregiver/driver and DM) We were then supposed to fly in on a Redeye Early Sat morning to check on the house and celebrate the 45th Bday this weekend at Disney. Well we left my family and get a call soon after with my mom frantic and not sounding too good that they were in an accident. Two blocks from my Grandfather's home, someone was speeding and ran the red-light hitting them. My mother is pretty banged up with a concussion. The caregiver has a fractured sternum, clavicle and ribs. My grandfather is lucky to escape just sore. Don't know the extent of the woman's injuries driving the other car other than she was admitted when I finally left the Trauma Center early AM Sat. She also glanced off a truck with a lady and her 3yr old daughter but they were uninjured. Luckily they wern't completely T-boned Officer estimated she was doing 55-60 in a 35 zone besided running the red. It could have turned out much worse. Sorry for the rant.

First, I hope your mom, the Caregiver and GF get well soon!

As for the OP- I when I read it.

I agree with ducklite on this one.

They raised the surcharge on speeding tickets in our area and people were all over the news, griping and moaning about how the cops are just trying to make more money. Well.......if you don't speed, it won't affect you, now will it?? They aren't making any money, extra or otherwise, off of me.
