- 'Cause hardly anybody speeds on Mopac. I used to commute down central

- One look at my car & you'd know that's a fact :-) It'd probably take
- two hands & some toes to count the number of policeman I saw during the
- same stretch... But who would they ticket? I wish it was the idjits
- going < 45mph -- you run into somebody like that about every other day.

- But these days I drive down 2222, and haven't yet seen anybody proceeding
- at much above the speed limit. Haven't seen any cops either. Of course
- I have the benefit of driving during fairly sober hours.
