Now I can accept the consequenses of my driving 6 over but damn. 6 over? Really? I thought he could have given me a break. I had the cruise set for that since I didn't think anyone would pull me over for 6 over. Guess it's my bad luck.
Dude comes to the window and the FIRST thing out of his mouth is "What's the hurry, is there a medical emergency?" I should have said "Dude, if there was an emergency, you wouldn't have caught me. Your buddies up the road would have had to". But I just said NO, I'm just cruising with my speed set to 71.
He says, "Well it's 65 mph here so the citation will be speeding". 
Yes. I was speeding. Bonnie says "Don't feel so bad. So you got kinda hosed on this one. Just think of all the times you did 20 over and never got caught. You're still ahead"
Damn the irony.  |
I hate to hear that dude. If it makes you feel any better I drove all the way to Ohio and hit 110 a couple of times but I always seemed to be driving a decent speed whenever I passed a trooper..........and I did pass a few. Passed one going about 80 but I was just going with the flow of traffic. Sometimes it is better to be driving with a bunch of cars going the same speed of just a few over and it is safer to assume you won't be getting a ticket. I usually try to get in the rocking chair and have a front door and a back door when traveling and get with a few cars that move at a rapid pace.
