Why do people (me) do silly things?!

I think I need to stop driving. Seriously. I got caught speeding (36 on a 30 road) last year and had to attend this really cool course which basically teaches you the devastating effects of speeding. Since then I've been terrified into not speeding in case I kill or paralyse someone (or myself) and have been pretty good with my speed (I said pretty good, not excellent!)

So yesterday I'm driving along and realise I'm doing over 35 again and noticed two mobile speed camera vans driving in the opposite direction. Now I've asked around and I'm pretty sure they can't catch you speeding unless they're stationary (as they have to be parked a certain distance away, and their cameras are usually in the rear) but I'm still pretty terrified they've caught me, as that would just be my luck (I think I may be cursed - that's a story for another post entirely) and I'm really hoping not as I don't want points on my licence. Stayed awake almost all night last night worrying - finally got to sleep at 3:30am and the bloody light woke me up at 7! So all in all, I feel like a zombie AND get the added benefit of worrying whether I've got a speeding ticket or not - it's not so much the fine that bothers me, it's the points (which I suppose is the point of them - no pun intended!)

I seriously hope the rest of you have a better day than me!!

Love,
