    Went to Los Angeles a few time in my car, from Las Vegas. Thought I was going to get rear ended. Finally set the cruise at 80 mph to keep from getting run over and was a little more in the flow of traffic. Still getting passed a lot.

    You don't want to be heading south on 15 on Sunday or Monday.

    "You got to know when to hold 'em"

    p.s. Just for fun, compare side by side photos of Kenny Rogers as he looks today with Harry and the Hendersons. Freaky, funny, and bizarre.

    I gave Roadlaw a call today and they are going to help me out. I was told there is a real good chance to get it reduced to a non moving violation and I'll likely just have to do traffic school seeing as it's my first offense. It'll cost a lot, but it's better than having a point on my record and being forced to work somewhere like CR England.

    Appreciate the advice all, I'll be setting cruise control from now on, driving like a grandma, and protecting this piece of gold in my pocket.

    Use the cruise control as much as you can; at least until you gain more experience.
    I used it most of the time even with 20 yrs. experience.

    Dude, unless you are blind, there were signs around that told you what the posted speed limit was.

    Get a lawyer, get it reduced and slow down.
