Speed Limit Breached!


Description: Caught speeding. (1st time booked for speeding!)
Disclaimer: I thought Eagle's speed limit is beyond 90km/hr?
Damage: $170 bucks to the Govt's big fat bonus next year :(
Damn it: 8 points gone! (this is the biggest heartache!!!)
.
Frankly, I am not the speeding kind, & for a few good reasons. Firstly, cruising around 80 - 90 km per hour offers the best fuel for mileage trade-off. Not speeding helps bring down the cost every time I hit the station. Secondly, speed demons attract speed demons. If I am not driving a sports car, why speed & draw attention from the Evo & the WRX. Lastly & most importantly, it's for the safety of both me & my passengers. Period.
.
So, why I got caught huh? Well, from the above traffic police charges, I was at 92 km/hr. This was my kind of speed, most of the time, except this time, I was at the wrong place at the wrong speed. That stretch of road calls for a 60 km per hour, max. So...suay lor... but I promised...no more next time.
.
Come to think of it, the market seems to be given the green light to continue speeding ahead. No slowing down as far as investors treading on the highways of Asia & China markets are concerned this week. Where are all the cautions?
.
Hope you guys don't get caught; there are financial speed-traps everywhere in these volatile market conditions. Drive carefully, wear crash helmet, or else... smile (if you can)... for the financial camera ahead...it's gonna be one nasty shot!
