Heading for Purgatory . . .

My husband and I disagree on this topic. He likes to push the freeway speed five or six miles over the speed limit 'to keep with the flow' of the traffic. I asked a patrol officer about this and he said that if he perceives someone going over the speed limit, he will stop and ticket them. If there are several speeding, he gets to pick and chose and it is the luck (or misfortune!) of the draw if you win that particular lottery.

I also feel that obeying the traffic laws comes under 'give to Caesar what is Caesar's and what is God's to God'. Seems obeying traffic laws comes under obedience to the Fourth Commandment, too. How we act in any situation is an example to our children.

Anyway, this topic provides travel conversation for myself and my husband and insures my job security . . . as a backseat driver!
