Speed Racer

There is a new law that a police officer can give you a ticket if he thinks you are speeding even if he has no radar.  The thinking is that  the officer has been trained at the police academy on how to recognize a speeding vehicle.
Well, I never went to the police academy but I can tell you a few hints so you can detect that you are speeding before the cop does.  With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, here goes.
1.  If everyone you pass is a blur, you might be speeding.
2.  If you are in a pack of cars and pass everyone and they soon become a tiny dots in the distance, you might be speeding.
3.  If you feel like you are on a roller coaster, you might be speeding.
4.  If your gas pedal is touching the floor, you might be speeding.
5.  If everyone you pass gives you the finger, you might be speeding.
6.  If you think everyone else is incredibly slow, say, like turtles, you might be speeding.
7.  If you are singing at the top of your longs to your favorite song, you might be speeding.
8.  If your spouse is clinging to the armrest, you might be speeding.
9.  If your kids say "Wheeeeeee" every time you turn a corner, you might be speeding.
10. If the policeman turns on his red light and steps on it after you go by, you probably are speeding!
