I'm practically a ghost, seldom seen. I'm mounted on some traffic lights, so ease up on the gas pedal! You never notice me unless your GPS is in use, but I see you coming. I never sleep on the job. I see everything day or night rain or shine I'm a road photographer. I wonder why vehicles never smile when I take their pictures. Perhaps they're angry for their drivers as they know a mailed citation letter is a sure thing? I'm a proud revenue cash cow. I do not discriminate. Rich or poor, young or old, I will penalize if you exceed my speed limit! Slow down road warriors, or I'll bite a chunk off your bank account!

Wondering if this was the aftermath of a letter in the mail? Always so expensive, then the car insurance vampires are right behind to suck your blood. Well done!

Thank you, John:-) "Wondering if this was the aftermath of a letter in the mail?" It was, lol. So true about the car insurance companies rubbing salt in the wound!
