Conversions

The toughest thing for the patrols over here, no matter how much experience they have, is the conversion from kilometers to miles. I very seldom recieve a ticket written to someone for five or ten kilometers per hour over the speed limit. I ask them, "You do realize this is only five to eight miles per hour over the speed limit?" Now, I fully support officer discretion, but if I'm going to get a speeding ticket, at least make it worth the punishment my chain of command is going to give me and write me for fifteen or thirty kilometers per hour over the speed limit. How awesome do I sound, going to work the next day saying, "I got a speeding ticket yesterday for ten kilometers per hour over the speed limit", when my car is capable of more than 160 miles per hour? Wow, dude, you drive your american muscle car like a grandma and get speeding tickets. The officer might as well write me a ticket for being retarded.
