Gotcha, Speed Demon 2 ( maybe)

OK, Now this is getting ridiculous. If anyone is actually still reading this blog, or has done so this past week, you would know that I finally tracked down the Speed Demon. Or so I thought.

The excuse for the 94 speed was that he had closed the windows and was driving downhill and didn't hear the wind noise to indicate how fast he was going. Whatever. Still too fast in my opinion.

However, yesterday I got a tip to look at the max speed on the GPS again. So like an idiot, I did. Wanna guess the number? 100!! This is getting ridiculous.

I will protect the innocent here, but I will tell you it wasn't me, Lovely or Stretch. The excuse for this one was the need to pass a truck so as not to get stuck behind it on a one lane road. My answer to this was if you had to hit 100 to pass, then the truck was going plenty fast on its own.

I have decided, no more. The young drivers are herewith punished.

They can no longer use the GPS. I just don't want to know.

you're willing to look the other way in light of these infractions? don't forget these are the maximum speeds - what are the average speeds? you cannot shirk your duties as the head of this household just because you're afraid of the confrontation. Be a man!

You can't trust the GPS for speed its grossly wrong at times. I've been told I did 105-- not a chance. A quick turn around a corner can throw its calculations out of whack.

anonymous, you are full of baloney. Not only is GPS very accurate but a "quick turn" won't even register on the GPS because the position hardly changes.

I wonder how fast they were all going when the gps was not recording their speeds. I would say this is getting way out of hand ;)
