What did you do with your truck/shop today

So I got to talk to a police officer in Texas today. :lol: Boy do they do it different!

 

Headed back to the hotel from the customer site and I crest a hill and see two officers running a speed trap on the left side of the road (median), I look down and I'm doing 80 (damn 300 is so much smoother than the truck!). I knew I was busted so I slowed down. The officer walks out into the lane, pointed at me than pointed at the shoulder of the road. Said he got me at 78 in a 60. Went back, ran my license and came back and said just to watch my speed in the future and to have a nice night. Got lucky on that one but it's also been more than 4 years since I've been stopped so my record is clean anyhow.

 

Still not as good as a girl who was a friend of a friend I knew- we were headed back from my friends place and she was ahead of me absolutely flying. She went around a bend and got lit up. I pulled off ahead to get gas and she pulled in after. Said she was clocked at 75 in a 40, let go with a warning! I should add that when I first saw her that night my first question was if she had borrowed a shirt from her son to wear (he was six back then) so that probably helped her case! :lol:

 

 

Never a shortage of entertainment with what people say when stopped or what you might see when stopping them, that's for sure

I didn't even bother making an excuse. I kept my hands on the wheel, looked him in the eye and answered all his questions. Back in NH my brother is on the fire dept and has been since I was 10 so I'm friendly with almost all of them so I think it helps that I don't turn into a bumbling fool when approached by an officer.

 

 

As for the gal in my last story, she absolutely had the assets to impress, all I'll say on that. :lol:

I have been pulled over a lot. Some with tickets some not.

 

I got out of a speeding ticket in high school because my S10 was overheating. But my uncle was a commander with the sheriff's department. So I got an ear full when I got home. I was also hit once for not stopping before the line because my foot slipped off the clutch. I had just gotten my license and was learning a manual trans.

I got pulled over last week after lighting 'em up for my neighbor, with a cop in the parking lot across the street. Nice guy, asked "What was that all about?" and I told him. He ran me, came back and said "It's tough with a vehicle like this to find the right place to let loose, I have the same problem with my mustang and Harley. Try to make good decisions as to the time and the place, and I'll do the same." With that he handed back my info. I told him to have a Merry Christmas and he wished me the same, and then added "oh yeah, and I see that your birthday is next week, happy birthday."- He is on my telepathic Christmas card list.

You would have had to prove you were doing 30. There was a large thread on this in march. I got a speeding ticket for 84 in a 65. I had cruise set for 70.

I had a conversation on here and an ex-officer from here, and a current officer from PA both told me that you have to prove your right. So I rolled over on it pled No Contest, and did traffic school.
