Could Your Surroundings Change Enough to Get You a Speeding Ticket?

By:Evelyn Grazini

I have been thinking about writing this for some time and finally broke down to do it. My specialty is self-help, and I think this is related to self-help, in a roundabout way, as in – you can help yourself by preventing a speeding ticket with just one simple concept.

I recently quit my job to work at home and sell my first book” Directed Dreaming, Success From the Subconscious. It has been really nice not having to answer to anyone else but myself. I get to sleep in, I have time to analyze my dreams, and it was all good!

One day I decided to take off for the mall about 3:00 in the afternoon to buy some baby shower gifts. I got my gifts and headed for home. I was traveling down a road that I have gone down a million times before, and my mind was wandering, thinking about all the work I had to do when I got home. Then suddenly it happened – I looked back and saw a policeman on a motorcycle behind me with his flashing lights on! I was certain that he was after someone else; I pulled over, only to find him pulling in behind me.

I didn’t know what to do because until then I had a perfect record. No accidents, no tickets, nothing! At first I thought I might muster up some tears, but then I felt foolish about that so I sent up a prayer, and tried to focus all the energies in the world on the hope that this officer was a nice guy, and I was a nice person, and he would not give me a ticket. I begged the officer not to write me up, but to make a long story short, for the first time in my life I received that dreaded speeding ticket!

As I was driving home, I wondered why I had never seen a policeman on that road before, and what had changed that day? As I said earlier, I had traveled down that road a million times, but never once noticed a policeman, or even saw anyone pulled over.

As I was thinking about it, the only thing that changed was my freedom. Usually when I am on that road, it’s full of other travelers – doing errands on weekends, at lunchtime, etc, I never thought about the speed limit before, because I never got up enough speed to even be concerned about it with so many others on the road. On that day, I was driving at a time when I am usually not out, and even though the road and the surroundings looked the same, they were, in reality, completely different than usual.

I guess what I’m trying to warn you about is to be careful in your normal surroundings, but even more importantly, when something in your life changes, be especially aware of your surroundings until you get a feel for them. There are small changes that happen thought the day – and things are not always as they seem.

Of course now I found this book on “Proven Tips to Avoid and Fight Speeding Tickets” The Author is a person like me, who wants to prevent others from getting in this sticky situation, and I found out that it was a good thing that I didn’t cry.

5). Criminal background check By : Stanley Alpin Background checks are a useful screening and selection tool for companies. Of the many types of background checks, criminal background checks are routinely carried out by employers to ensure that they are not courting a risk of physical and mental trauma. In fact, in several states in the U.S, criminal background checks are compulsory for prospects who apply for positions in places such as nursing homes, educational institutions, and adult care centers.
6). Employment background check By : Stanley Alpin Employment background checks are becoming increasingly common these days. The reasons for this include the fact that negligent hiring lawsuits that result from the actions of an errant employee can damage a company’s credibility and lead to hefty fines; companies have become more selective in their choice of employees following the threat of terrorist activities; accepting a resume at face value has resulted in many companies wasting time and money due to frequent hire-and-fire situations.
7). How an employee background check works By : Stanley Alpin Over the past few years pre-employment background checks have gained significance for employers big and small. Companies can either execute the required activities in-house or can outsource them to human resource companies that specialize in carrying out background checks. There is a lot of paper-work, co-coordination, and follow-up that goes into conducting a background check and for this reasons companies prefer to get the job done by an outside agency.
8). Is an instant background check even possible? By : Stanley Alpin Given that there are more than 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States and that information on U.S citizens is scattered across various databases all over 3,142 counties, it is safe to conclude that an instant background check is not possible at present. Yet, there are innumerable companies that purportedly offer instant background checks.
9). What shows up on a criminal record background check? By : Stanley Alpin A criminal record background check can throw up a lot of information on an individual including previous arrests as well as conviction and non-conviction information. The information is obtained from Federal Fugitive files, files from the Department of Corrections prison, state criminal records, databases on sex offenders, and prison parole records.
10). Offshore Trust - Effective Estate Planning, You Decide By : Ronald Hudkins Copyright 2006 Ronald Hudkins The creation of offshore trusts and other financial plans is a way of shielding your assets from the laws of the nation in which you reside. It can sometimes be used to remove one of the two certainties of life; taxes. Americans are far less likely than the citizens of other countries to put assets abroad because, although when you receive the benefits of being free of your country’s laws regarding assets (namely taxation) you also lose the aspect of those laws that are designed to protect your assets.
