Close call with the cops

Jan 30, 2006 21:11

I got pulled over tonight. I was going 50 in a 25. Oops! Honestly, I forgot about the 25 zone. The freeway on ramp in RB has been closed for a while so I was going around it. I won't forget again ( Read more... )

memories, police, driving

I guess I can also teach you how to charm your way out of tickets ;)

I think he let me go because my record is so clean. If I had tickets in the past, I guarantee I would have been written up instead of getting a warning. It pays to be a good driver. I just need to remember that senior center!

IIRC, going either double the speed limit or 20 MPH over the speed limit can be considered reckless driving...a misdemeanor. I reccomend at lead slowing down to under 45 when trying to mow down the seniors ;)

I was lucky enough to have a cop knock a ticket down to 19 MPH over the limit once. haven't had to joy of seeing if my luck would hold for a 2nd time..yet.

It sounds like there's a story behind that remark ;)
