    Pulled over for speeding, no fine issued on the spot?

    Yeah man, the way I see a fine is $0.10 for every time I've sped, snapped 2nds, done line lockers before the green lights showing and over taken people in the break down lanes this year. Attitude won't change pal, but I will play the game to get my own way :D
