Its 8:30PM and I’ve been cruising at 100 MPH for the past two hours on my way home from CA… reminiscing of the awesome times I had when I enter into the outer “cusp” of Phoenix. trying to avoid a pesky 92′ Honda with exhaust and two Mexican drivers My attention is suddenly diverted… to the Flashing lights that have instantly transformed me from a competent non blind driver… to the blind kamikaze pilot of a 2,000lb black death machine barreling down the freeway at 100 miles per hour!
I quickly redeem my composure and maneuver out of the shoulder back onto the freeway… I think to myself “FUCK! I was good with money this weekend and I’m welcomed back to AZ with a $200 speeding ticket!”
The anger in me quickly subsides when I realize… I wont pay the ticket anyways. However as I travel closer to my town of residence (Tempe) I am subsequently blinded every mile or so by these horrible Speed Camera “Death Trap” Machines. Phoenix is literally littered with these fucking speed cameras… they remind me of some shit out of 1984… Large tubular arms of conduit holding at their ends massive cameras and flashes, in clusters… of course so they can get you in either direction. little pods of Cameras sprinkled every mile or two along the sides of the freeway… Policing all drivers 24/7, no need for the cops on the side of the road. we have robots that take our pictures and mail us tickets.
I have never wanted to move away from phoenix. until now.
Is it really smart to blind the person who is driving 100+mph? Hell no! are you really preventing accidents? or just cashing in? I’m surprised there has not been a lawsuit yet in regards to people who are going “a few over” that are caught by the “flashing lights” and then proceeds to plow into the mini van it was trying to pass and killing half of the 8-yr old cheer squad…
here’s the breakdown of this weekend…
- Gas: $63
- Hiking costs: $20
- Book at borders: $20
- Supplies from Walmart A.KA “murder depot”: $38
- Movies: $20.50
- Cheesecake factory: $33
- Dads Birthday card : $4
- “Food”:$50
- 3 Speeding tickets: $400 – $600
I just paid a shit ton of money for a couple of shitty pictures of myself driving my car and to experience the terror that only Stevie Wonder would know should he some how find himself behind the wheel of a speeding car… I will surely not be able to afford to pay these tickets and KNOW this will come back to haunt me in 3 yrs when I’m labeled as “The guy with 100K in tickets” Anyways Keep an eye out on Facebook or whatever else I whore myself out on for the debut of my “action driving” Photo… it will be the priciest default picture Ive got. Sure to please….
– Espinaca!
