Today I received my first speeding ticket. I was going 66kph; Photo radar from when I was just starting a drive to Calgary.
It was on Gateway Boulevard just south of 76th Avenue; Where the road, that should be a major artery through town, decides to slow down to 50kph.
I recall thinking, back then, I was going a bit fast and then slowing down. Or that could be just wishful thinking.
Ironically, I then proceeded to get onto the highway and do some real speeding. Way over the speed limit. In my defense, I was following another car that was going faster. And I couldn’t just let them get away.
Whoever they are.
But in the end, I totally deserve it. My car is nearly at 60,000km after eight years, and I am surprised this is the first time I’ve ever gotten a speeding ticket.
It doesn’t mean I’m happy about it.
Has this affected how I drive? I don’t know. I’ll need to get and/or Steph into the car and see if I have changed driving patterns. They are both a bad influence on me.

Or is it the other way around?…
