I’ve got a confession to make. Sometimes, I drive to fast and I speed. I’ve done it before and I’ll probably do it again. And guess what? I’ve gotten speeding tickets. If you think that I’m a bad actor and as far as driving to fast is concerned, you’d be correct (though this isn’t a normal occurrence for me. Really!). However, I haven’t had to actually pay a speeding ticket recently due to the fact that (at least in the state of Texas), citizens can often take defensive driving instead of paying the fine (and the resulting insurance rate increase). This is often left up to the judge’s discretion as to who is granted permission to take defensive driving and some states have requirements that you cannot take defensive driving more than once during a certain time period (say 1 year or 6 months).
