alt Hacker NewsWhen I was really bad at speeding all the time I had this fear I'd go to jail and my cat would die alone in my apt. So I started working on my own dead man switch, I actually have not finished it but I at least bought him like a self-feeding thing that would last a month or more and he unfortunately drinks out of the toilet too so I leave the top cover off.
I've recently stopped or working on stopping the triple digits driving.
The topic at hand this would be a Twilio thing sending a message like "so and so might be in jail take care of the cat" which is messed up/funny but I do tell them in advance can you be on this list. But at least this phase of my life is over/I have something to look forward to/behave for.

This is one of the most bizarre though processes I've read.
please don’t drive that fast (I’m assuming you mean triple digits MPH). It endangers both yourself and others.
The right thing to do is to use your one call to phone your cat and make sure they are ok - or take them with you when you drive.
Not sure jail is the outcome you need to be worrying about.
Fear you'd go to jail, but not crash and die or be in a coma? I think cats can tolerate a week without food which should be longer than your jail sentence.
The right thing to do is stop speeding like that. Needlessly endangering others. It's good you are trying to stop. To help you continue in that effort...
Check out HPDE events to get your speed fix and keep it off public roads.
I've ran with Chin Track Days and 10/10ths and can recommend both orgs (USA based because that's what I know).
