[tips] Speeding tickets and behaviorism

[Michael Britt]

As I sat in traffic court last night waiting for my turn to talk to  
the officer about changing my speeding violation (15 mph over the  
limit) to a "non-moving violation" I was thinking about psychology of  
course:  "Now let's see...the ticket is a positive punishment and in  
order to get points taken off my license I'll have to go to a traffic  
safety class which must be.....a negative reinforcer."

Boy, was I bored.  But, more fodder for the next time I teach this.
