[Shotimes] OT: Help! Unfair traffic ticket!

[Shewitt5656@cs.com]

Well, if you were driving behind a dump truck and contemplating Ian's sex 
life (or lack there of), you wouldn't have gotten a ticket.  

Or, if you were like me and wondering which one of Joe vanO's pics had the 
map sensor and which one had the sun load sensor - you wouldn't have even 
tried driving... :)
