Speeding contributes significantly to traffic fatalities and injuries. The impact that speeding has on the driver, the vehicle and the road is described in relation to how it contributes to collisions.

Excessive speeding lengthens the distance a vehicle must stop, reduces the amount of time a driver has to react in a hazardous scenario to avoid a collision, and has other effects as well. Even when you are going the speed limit but are driving too fast for the road circumstances, such as in inclement weather, while a road is being repaired, or at night in a place with poor lighting, speed still poses a threat to your safety.

Speeding puts everyone on the road around the speeder in danger, including themselves. We must all work to find a solution to this issue but I guess the OP's boyfriend is not in support of this idea.

The AITA story of today presents a lady whose boyfriend took her car without prior permission. The OP was traveling and the boyfriend's car was at the shop, so he took her car to hang out with friends without asking her first.

The OP returns home and gets a fine for speeding, and the speed camera time was the same time she was out of town. She asks the boyfriend to pay but he refuses, saying it's her plate number, so the OP thought of a brilliant idea.

An important info is being asked by this Redditor

Some red flags to take note of

The only person you're punishing is yourself

Is he denying that he used the car at all?

Throw him under the bus if you go to court

He is fine with you paying for his mistake?

He may also get arrested for unauthorized use of your car

What the OP should do if the lease is under the boyfriend's name

You are absolutely within your rights to withhold the rent

You can certainly dispute the fine

Be careful with not paying for your rent

Speed camera tickets are like parking tickets in that they are tagged for the car, not the driver. You are responsible for the operation of your vehicle for things like parking, speed, stop signs, and red light cameras.

The OP's boyfriend tried to use this as leverage so the OP could pay for the ticket, but then he had another thing coming as Redditors totally supported the OP's idea.
