I bet the bass shook you across the line at the light and it probably caused your speedo to read 65 instead of the correct speed.

Just slow down and don't run red lights and your life will be great!

You have to learn when to speed. I had a little road trip yesterday and ran 80 a good bit of the time. You have to know when it feels wrong, observe other traffic, etc. Saw 3 highway patrol going and was doing 72 each time. On the way back, didn't see a one. It's like a game.
