Why do you habitually speed on Main?

It's what overcomes me when I'm in a car, travelling east from Bay to Centennial. Elsewhere? Under different circumstances? No. I don't have an innate 'need for speed' per se. (In fact, when I say 'speed', I never go more than 10% over the limit, so we're talking 55km/hr.) I wasn't born with either the 'risk' gene, nor the one having to do with 'the car as an extension of the penis'. It just happens to be that on this stretch of Hamiltonia, I come under the spell of that powerful magic that seems to affect almost all drivers, rendering them separate from their environment (especially the inconvenient needs of pedestrians), tiny bubbles of self-indulgence on wheels. My big 'transgression' is going 'over the limit' on this highway-within-a-city.

That's all.

Mea culpa.

(And SpaceMonkey, I had to laugh at the 'bureaucracy porn' tone to your most recent comment. Thanks for the levity.)
