Traffic school is not the best way to spend a Saturday. But, when it comes to eliminating points off a speeding ticket, it's the place to be! This is where my friend Jen found herself this past weekend. I received a 'big sigh' text just after my Boot Camp class, where I usually see her, and remembered she told me of her penance. Throughout the day, I'd get little texts reminding me of defensive driving lessons I just paid to have my kids learn. Road rage, what to do if your car falls into deep water (wait until fully submerged so the water pressure is equalizer,than open a door or try to break a window.) Even though they were meant as a vent, the reminder was absorbed. Jen is not a speeder, per se; she's a good driver who got caught on a road-trip to visit her mom in Florida. Driving over the limit (while chatting hands-free with a girlfriend) she readily admits she should have used cruise control, and will never make this mistake again. I think the loss of an entire Saturday was more costly to her than the fine. I know I learned her lesson. Did you?
