The Speeding Ticket
You were a bit more agressive than I would be... :-) Now, if I lived in
Dallas, I would be right there with you on that... ;-P A lot twistier
highways, it is a lot harder to do that here...
I got popped Sunday before last... Oklahoma City cop on a two-lane divided
highway... I have these dumb Vuarnet sunglasses that are too dark. There he
was, under the bridge, I could not see him at all in the distance (the road
turns to the right just slightly, so the pillar for the above bridge hides the
cop well)... Anyways, I went by him, knew I had been nic'ed, so I just pulled
over. I was doing 80 in a 60, he made it 10 over, which does not go on the
record here... I was glad, I have 10 damn point on my record! I had no idea
until I went to the tag agency the monday following... :-( _
Drive, um, slowly?
