3 different eh? Does one of them entail D'Oh!

You weren't charged with Racing?

Pay the 15 over and get over this.

Next time, just remember that speed Kills!

56 over in a 60 zone is blatant.

The worst part is that you have to blow in the machine every 15 minutes regardless. If you don't your car will shut down while driving.

It also keeps a record. If you ...

Well you are clearly speaking english here.

Were you speaking english when you got your ticket?
