<p>Attempting to look at the bright side - missing a cutoff due to ethics or errors or whatever, will hopefully make one more organized or careful in the future. I get razed about not speeding at work. A couple of years ago I was driving the speed limit on a 50 mph country road. When I crested a hill, the following tableau spread out before me and my passenger (my sister in law): a motorcyclist had dumped his bike in the opposite lane, and was rolling into mine. A deep ditch was to my right; my sister has bad back. Anyway, I hit the brakes, realized I was still going to hit him, skidded right. He completed his roll into my (stationary) left front tire. Broke a clavicle in the fall, but no damage from me, and I didn’t hurt my sister by dumping in the ditch, which I would have had it been just me. If I had been speeding I would have hit the biker. BTW - it was a brand-new crotch rocket - red - the man’s present to himself on finalizing his divorce. Watch out for mid-life crises. </p>
<p>Finishing a bubble - or not, exceeding the speed limit - or not, usually has very little in the matter of consequences. But every once and a while, you do make the correct moral decision, and are happy for it. I probably would have finished the bubble if I had started it, but I won’t speed knowingly. Life is full of these decisions - if you can make them with a clear conscience I think you will be a happier person.</p>
