FED SPEED TRAP

The signs are clearly posted, but you don’t take notice as you cruise along blindly following the drivers in front of you.

Until suddenly a line of brake lights flash in front of you like dominos falling one-by-one.

It is too late, slamming on the brakes now will do you no good. You just got caught by the Fed speed trap.

Check in with the Milkshake Duo for a midweek update and some tips on how to navigate the road ahead more safely.
