When we had the national 55mph speed limit I got pulled over for going 60. The guy lectured me and said I was a "bad influence" on other drivers but no ticket.
For a few years, my dad commuted from 22nd St. & 2nd Ave to 106th & 5th on his Rudge, waiting dutifully at every red light along the way. The cops told him he’d never get to work like that.
