I'm a truck driver, and in my profession, speeding tickets are not a good thing at all. Yesterday night as I was enroute from Cleveland to Chicago, I was on the Ohio Turnpike in Erie County near Sandusky OH. I like to travel in the right lane whenever possible, in case I have a tire blow out or another mechanical problem. The speed limit on the turnpike is 65. I came upon a car in the right lane going pretty slow, probably 60 MPH. I signaled and moved into the middle lane to pass, and the car sped up, and wouldn't back down to allow me back into the right lane. So I move back in behind him in the right lane. Within a mile or so , he slows down again. I go to pass him again, and he speeds up again , sticking me out in the middle lane. So I sped up this time. I was going 74 and just as I got ahead of the car playing his little game, I saw a trooper at the side of the road. He came after me and ticketed me. I've been waiting 3 years for another ticket to come off my record on 1-13-07.
