Driver broke law, will correct behavior

I recently received a speeding ticket from one of the interstate cameras, and do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to pay it. Do you know why? Because I'm guilty.
Here's what I'm not going to do - whine and complain how unfair they are. To me there is no difference between the cameras and a policeman sitting on the overpass with a radar gun, I was speeding and I got caught. I'm not going to rip the mayor and City Council. And lastly, I'm not going to move or take my business elsewhere.
Oh, here are a couple of more things I will do - act like an adult, learn from my mistake and try not to repeat it. It's really pretty simple.
