While not condoning the behavior you responded to, I feel compelled to
point out: when motorists are driving along, they should be minding the
road and traffic, not "their own business." If you're hurtling down the
freeway in a dreamlike stupor like Walter Mitty on Prozac, maybe you
*should* get the snot scared out of you, before you crash and kill
someone innocent of a negligent indifference to their piloting of a
massive object energized by a large velocity vector.

Actually, you do need to stamp a big "YMMV" on that.

Situations where your insurance rates might not go up if you get a
speeding ticket:

* Your last speeding ticket was 3 years ago (in most states, insurers
can only look back 3 years for moving violations)

* The speeding ticket doesn't make it into your MVR (the system's not
foolproof)

* You've qualified for a discount, or reduction in expense that offsets
your speeding ticket (e.g., you've gotten older reducing the youthful
surcharge).

* The insurance company doesn't order an MVR on you at renewal. (In
many states, insurers aren't required to order new MVRs at renewal.
Given how expensive MVRs are, in many cases, it's not cost-effective for
the insurer to order a new MVR more often than once every two or three
years...if then.)

...and one day you'll be found dead on the side of the road, and your boss
will wonder why you're not at work. Do you torture small animals, as well? Where
did all that hatred come from?

Scum like you can't remember your own VIN what
makes you think you can tell one bike from
another...you are the kind of person who calls all
motorcycles "harley". What a mouth breather...I'll
be sure to flick your cigarette back in your
window. Guys like you don't write damn thing down
and usually end up in the ditch upside down. 8^)
Not that I'd EVER bait a scum bag into doing that
to them selves.
