hmmm... guilty, I guess. What about young white males in suped up Kraut-rockets?

I guess I disagree with the premise of this article to some degree. I mean, I've had my license suspended. A lot. And I can tell you that the bureacracy and unmitigated extortion that happens when you just get a ticket is unbelievable. I've had pretty much every situation you can imagine happen to me in this regard, from people of trust and power lieing to my face, to being trapped in some kind of Kafka-esque nightmare trying to clear my license because the computer system at the Department of Safety for TN had an error in my record (resulting in my arrest!).

If you tallied up all the time, frustration, and real money that's been extracted from me (lost wages, insurance fraud... I mean premiums, fines, fees, etc), then I feel that it's ample compensation. Yes yes yes... people always talk about the 'danger' aspect of it and that I'm potentially risking people's lives. I suppose that's true statistically speaking. But given that I've been forced to take literally dozens of hours of driving classes, and I actually do my own track time on both bikes and autos, then I feel as though it's a calculated risk. Granted, the street has innumerably more variables and a much higher degree of unpredictability than any track, but that's what reflexes are for, right?

100-mph drivers often get just a slap on wrist
