Brandon FL | Valrico FL Real Estate Chatter

I haven't...but it's not because I drive the speed limit.  I'm always  more cautious when school is in because of the thousands of school aged children "out and about."  So, this is not a blog to condone speeding but there are all times when YOU and I both have been "in a hurry" and gotten caught, or almost! 

Jeff Kessler wrote a blog this morning that made me LAUGH OUT LOUD!  His blog "shared" of a secret sight (I've never heard of) called Speed Trap website. Now you don't have to slow down. (jk)  It made me laugh this morning and I wanted to share...please stop by his sight if you enjoyed this blog and THANK JEFF for the tip!!  You too can seek and find the speed traps in your area or add some that you know of.  Not a bad idea for those who have a lead foot...ya know? 

This sight also offers tips including:

• Beating a speeding ticket
• Traffic School (for when the above is unsuccessful)
• Speed Limit  (Fact & Fiction)
• Traffic Attorney Referrals  (THIS IS ALMOST FUNNY)
• Ticket Cameras
• Lane Courtesy  (THIS ONE needs to be reviewed often!)
• Seat Belt Laws
