I will not complain the next time I get a ticket

Granted, no one wants to be pulled over by a cop. I doubt that highway patrol men get a lot of Christmas cookies from grateful motorists, although they should. I just read an article about a 36 year old man in Brazil. He had received 1,000 tickets since 2001 that added up to almost $2 million. His car has since been impounded.

He received the fines for speeding & running red lights. I can't imagine owing anyone that much money. Can you imagine how many houses you could buy for that price? I never speed because I'm afraid of getting a $75 ticket. The story is so unbelievable that I can't imagine there is a logical solution to it. However, I hope that something is worked out.
