Do we drive according to the rules because we desire safety or we wish to avoid punishment?

Flashing blue lights

I see them from behind

Was I going to fast this time?

Or did I pass the stop sign I guess I will be fined

As the flashing blue light approach from behind

More points on my record means less cash in my pockets

The cost of driving is too high as it is

As a million question race thru my mind

As I watch the flashing blue lights approach fast from behind

Image via Wikipedia

I hope this officer will show me some mercy

Because these days I am a little short on cash

I do not know what I was thinking driving so fast

As the bright flashing blue lights are almost on me

Image via Wikipedia

I slow to pull over to the side of the road

But to my surprise the flashing blue lights did not slow

They pass by me without hesitation

I am lucky this time but it will not last how quickly we forget the past

So look around you and be observant when you drive

Because you do not want a ticket that will lead to a fine

Obey the rule and you will be okay

While you live to drive another day
