The lights turn on, and I pull over. He asks for my license. He says "do you realize you were doing 54?" I said, "no sir, I was not doing 54. I do not mean to argue, but I looked down at my speedometer as soon as I saw you. I admit I was going 42(speed limit 35)." He asks "when was your last ticket?" I reply "two years ago in Arkansas. I cannot remember the last ticket here in Florida." He asks "what year is this car". I reply "2010." He says "watch the speed, especially with the wet roads." I say "Yes sir. Thankyou."  No ticket.
As my 10yr old son and I pulled away, I looked over at him and said "I was not going 54." He looks over at me and says "you were not going 54 dad."
I will need to check the speedometer against GPS and my other cars. |
Checked my speedo against my GPS at 138 the car said 136. (Controlled environment, no lectures please)
