Schools in session

Well it finally happened... my driving record is no longer clean. This is so bad because I know what the speed is on that road. I drive it every day, and any other day I would of been fine doing the speed limit. But today I was on the phone and the officer caught me 17 over. 47 in a 30. Well time for traffic school, this should take off all the points and reduce the fine, but none the less I am frustrated. Not at the officer or at anyone else, but at myself.

How is it that we can get so caught up in one thing that a temporary lack of focus catches us 185.50 in the hole?
