Awe, come on, it was a new car, I didn't even realize I was going that fast till I saw those colorful lights in the rear view. I suppose I was wrong but, if I remember correctly, I was praying for invisibility.

Awe, come on, it was a new car, I didn't even realize I was going that fast till I saw those colorful lights in the rear view. I suppose I was wrong but, if I remember correctly, I was praying for invisibility.May God help the police catch, fine or jail all those who break the law.
I remember cruising about 80 on a 55 and noticing the lights of police car in the distance behind me. This was on the highway. There were several tractor trailers in front of me (all doing the speed limit) I had a good jump on my friend in blue and the highway was bending at this point, friend in blue momentarily disappeared. I slowed down and pulled in-between to tractor trailers keeping an eye out for friend in blue when I noticed him (through side mirror that he was approaching the trailers I was in-between, I maneuvered from the center lane to the far right lane and slowed down dramatically then stopped - waited about 10 minutes and proceed on my journey at 65-mph (they'll usually give you 10-mph) and thus avoided a heavy fine.
Was that sinful?
If you're driving down a road where the posted speed limit is 30 mph, and notice that a tornado touches down ahead of you and doesn't seem to be moving but is gradually getting larger and larger -- which means it's moving directly towards you, and your choices are:
driving towards the tornado
staying where you are, and letting the tornado catch up with you
driving 65 to 70 mph away from the tornado in a desperate attempt to escape
I think driving 65 to 70 mph to get away from the storm would not be considered "a sin".
Or, you can do what my uncle did, and leave the safety of your car and home to catch this picture:
His house was the one to the left. It wasn't hit, but this particular pair of tornadoes killed 72 people.
Really? "God-given"? Where does Scripture give us that right?But speed limits do infringe on our God-given right to engage in activities in civil society that do not harm ourselves and others.
Only if you get caught. heheheDoes the Bible say whether or not speeding in your car is a sin? If so or if not, please discuss...
aha Just would have got a surf board and had a ride of a life time yeeha!! surfing cowboyawesome pic. congrats to your uncle for his achievement in capturing such forces of nature and for his bravery. although I believe I wouldn't have drove 65 or 70, it been more like 100 tops lol.
