well put. but
1) if you're going 64 in a 25,
and
2) your dad is the lawyer representing you, and you decide to ask an internet forum for advice..
you might just be leaning towards legal retardation yourself.
on the other hand, here's my 2 cents. act polite, don't over-react to anything, don't raise your voice, and act like you're sorry or better yet, truly be sorry.
