Tomorrow 2

T  tickets in driving are no pass to stay stupid
O ........own up to wrongdoing
M  make sure you KEEP your hands on the wheel
O ……    observe other drivers around you
R  risking no ONE’s life,  EYEs on the road
R  regular checks ON THE car’s condition
O  .......obeying all COPS’ rules, pray
W watch: control of speed helps.

thanks, Beata. It comes from getting a warning for speeding in a 20mph zone. Gotta watch out for new signs up too.

It is very serious and it is indeed a privilege which can be revoked if necessary. Thanks for the super comment.

Thanks, Kim. Your're the best. Suddenly all our side streets are 20 MPH - even the police are getting tickets! Due to Interstate 65, we have two main streets in downtown - so we take the side streets to avoid the traffic.
