Personally, I find nothing more abhorrant than some self-appointed enforcer of speed limits in front of me on the freeway. (or any other road for that matter) If i choose to break the law - that's my business, and it's up to me to face the consequences of that action should I be caught. Otherwise, bugger off!!! Morgoth seismo!rochester!ritcv!ccieng5!ccieng2:bwm VOTE WITH YOUR FOOT!!!! --- You seem to be saying that it's your RIGHT to break a law, as long as you're prepared to face the consequences. I think you're a bit mixed up... If a law is passed against something, that reflects a decision that this thing is WRONG. If something is wrong, the fact that you're prepared to face the consequences DOES NOT make it right. I have no ethical obligation to allow you to do something that's wrong. So piss off! If you tailgate me, you better be prepared for a VERY, VERY slow ride... Alan Driscoll BTL, Murray Hill
