I appreciate all the responses.

Wow, I am a sophomore at the University of San Francisco and I couldn’t type correctly or even check my grammar. Reading it over now, I realize there is a plethora of mistakes…sorry.

Austin-
I found out that factory tint is an entirely different story. I will take the car to a local police station and have them look at it. If they don’t approve, I will have the tint removed, if they say the tint is all right, then I’m set. I will pay the fines and not go to traffic school. You are right about keeping the option open to attend traffic school in a scenario worse than the one I was in. 600sl brakes sound nice J hopefully, a sl600 to go with them, hehe, eventually.

My tint is not that dark. It is extremely light. Yeah, playing it safe is something I ought to do more often. Where in CA are you from?

Mike-
I appreciate your words, especially knowing that they come from the perspective of a person in the field of law enforcement. Yes, you are right, he probably did treat me differently because I was very polite to him. I am a very polite and passive person…except when I get pissed off (rarely). I have no hard feelings about the incident what so ever. I am constantly learning because I am at a young age. This incident will, non-the-less, teach me to apply more patience when it comes to driving. By the way, why did you refer to California as Califaztlan? I remember hearing something about a political view towards CA and the world Califaztaln, but I don’t seem to recall why.

Yep, there sure are those people who are less fortunate than I am. You are right, I shouldn’t let these morons ruin my day, and I should not let them aggravate me to the point where I speed. I was driving a little fast, I admit to that and I take the consequences of driving around 60-65 miles per hour; however, what he did was quite possibly correct because the people in front of him were driving slow, so he change to my lane. However, what he DID NOT think about is that I am driving between 60-65, his lane was going 55, and after he cut in front of me, he continued at 55 miles per hour. The fact that he was driving at the same rate as the people in the next lane over, cutting the flow of traffic in the fast lane is what ticked me off. I simply have to learn from my mistakes and, like you said, anticipate foolish drivers on the highway. Being a few minutes late is not worth the risks involved with speeding or driving recklessly.

Jim-
I still have some time before I completely loose my testosterone-driven attitude. There are so many drivers out there that tend to make me quite livid on a daily basis. The other day I saw a lady run into a curb while driving 5 miles under the speed limit of 35 on a clear and sunny day behind Safe Way in Corta Madera while talking on her cell phone. I have to learn to adjust my attitude when driving.
