When I was younger (16-23) I got off with warnings 6 times (4 State Troopers, 2 locals) just based on my last name. It is a very rare name and my father is a retired State Trooper. Most of the Troopers of a certain age knew my dad and remembered him fondly. As did most of the local yocals in his Troop vicinity. Then one day at age 25, I get pulled over by a Trooper closer to my age. Asked if he knew my dad...nope, never heard of him, here's your ticket (70 in a 55), have a nice day!
I started driving more responsibly once my dad's friends started retiring too!
