Speed Trap: Songs That Will Land You A Ticket
Sorry officer Led Zep came on
Is there anything more freeing than zipping down the highway jammin' to your favorite tunes? What can compare with that carefree joy as the wind whips through your hair and your favorite songs fill the air? Talk about a dopamine fix!
But a word to the wise: be more careful than carefree near the end of the month. If the cops haven’t reached their monthly ticket quota yet they’ll hit the magic number one way or another. Quite possibly at your expense.
The buzz is worth the risk, though. Live for today, dammit!
Here’s a small selection of songs guaranteed to put your pedal to the metal. Just watch out for the 5-0, yo.
