Years ago I lived within view of downtown Dallas (Oak Lawn) and commuted to Denton Texas which was about 35 miles and going against rush hour traffic. One morning was running a little late and going about 85 mph in a 65 zone & most traffic moving at about 75. Got pulled over. Officer asked why I was in such a hurry. I said I was a professor at Univ. of North Texas and did not want to be late for my morning class. Sorry sir, my fault, etc. etc. He asked what I taught and I said Interior Design. He asked if I knew a student named...and I said yes she is in my morning class. He said she is his daughter so I had better get going and get to class on time, just stay with the flow of traffic in the future. I made it to class about 30 seconds early. Thank goodness she was passing my course! Small world getting pulled over by the Dad of one of my students in a metro area with millions of people.
