Today, I got a speeding ticket. My speedometer got busted a few weeks back, rendering it useless. My father, a former mechanic, decided it's not worth the trouble of going in and fixing it. "Just keep with traffic when you're on the highway; you'll be fine." This $150 fee says otherwise. FML

YDI for not getting it fixed, regardless what your father said.

What if you're the only car on the street, on a school zone?

When someone doesn't listen to their parents everyone's like "YDI Listen to your parents! They're there for a reason!" Then when someone does and they mess up they're like "YDI You should've handled it yourself!" I mean seriously people? o.o

Common sense should've told you that a speedometer is kinda necessary.

At least we know why your dad is a *former* mechanic. My dad is a current mechanic, going on 35 years now, and he would have advised to immediately fix that.

there is a time you should stop listening to what ur (maybe smart-ass) dad is saying. Think for yourself! YDI!

What, are you ten? Get it fixed yourself, or find another means. The speedo in my work van is off, so I use my gps for speed. The speedo in my truck is off due to much over sized tires... so I use common sense. If you lack money AND common sense /wrist... don't contaminate the gene pool any further.

Dont blame your dad, we all know the real reason: ZThirteen (woman)

Thats why your dad is a FORMER mechanic. And any GPS has your speed on it.

like a wise state trooper once told me... here in iowa we dont require that your speedometer work, we require that you drive the speed limit. :) i know you probably werent in iowa... but im sure it still applies lol
