I belonged to a group of about a dozen friends, and many of them commented on my apparently reckless driving. Twenty-three years later, all of them have received moving violation tickets, while I haven't. The law of averages says if you're a sloppy driver, you will be ticketed, and if you're a law-abiding driver, you won't. I took corners fast, but I look ahead and don't speed. They were all just sloppy, and inattentive drivers.
