..... soon?       

Not on this road, at least.  I've lived in this house since 1987, and only in the last year or so have I seen them doing this, and it's becoming more regular.  So I'll be watching my P's and Q's when coming home at night from this point forward.

But, you're right (notice how I spelled that right?)...it was kind of anticlimactic.

Well, it's over now, so the thread can continue a life of it's own, or not.    Got to the "Hoover Center for Public Safety", and of course they didn't have my paperwork in their file to immediately go into the courtroom setting, so I got to stand in line for 45 minutes.  Finally got to the window where there was a pretty cute gal waiting on folks...she told me I looked like Santa...   So I asked if she'd like to sit on my lap...that pretty much broke the ice.    We got along great after that exchange, so I get to take a Defensive Driving Class next month, and it won't go on my record, plus it's cheaper than the ticket.  All's well that end's well.  And the Santa thing really did work...

Good for YOU    I am glad it worked out

I'm gonna do another burnout and go (well) over the speed limit again on the way home to celebrate.

Outstanding!

Is that the trick for getting the ESP all the way off?

The crazy beast will spin 'em half way decent from a standing start with the traction control fully engaged. LOL

Yes sir that is how you fully awaken the beast, they say its about a 25 percent increase in power.    if you just press the button it only partial disables the beast.   Definitely not recommended if there is even the slightest hint of moisture on the roads.

Terry,

I was really hoping for a good fish story about how painful the courtroom was an how the judge gave you crap for driving that way at your age etc etc.   /Glad it worked out, but you are right anticlimatic.

... once you complete the course you may want to turn a copy of the certificate of (or proof of taking) the course to your insurance company . Hell.... you might get an insurance reduction for taking it.

There is something that doesn't work in Jersey.
Although the "have you taken a defensive driving course in the past X years?" question appears on many insurance applications, it is immediately followed by "that you were not mandated to take" 

Is that grammatically correct or even proper engrish?

"There I was, driving 67 in a 5 listening to Led Zepplin, when all of a sudden..." and see how far it'll go.

Whats wrong with Led Zeppelin?

Wonder if that will work with my 400/800 dually

If I can find a wet spot for the little V6 in the pickup to do a celebratory burnout I'll throw one on the way home too.   In TC's honor!
