Dodged a Bullet (Speeding Ticket)

ZCarMan · 10-11-2009, 07:09 AM

So, my Son is in town and first thing yesterday morning around 9AM I say, "Hey, lets go for a spin down to the Navy Fed to the ATM". Its about 8 miles up Highway 1 (Jefferson Davis Highway). We head up and I'm not getting on it too much because I tell my son that the cops are all over the place on the weekend and I don't want a ticket. We travel the 8 miles to the bank and hit up the ATM, then we start to head back and there is a section where it is 45MPH with little antique shops all along the road. I'm behind a mid sized truck towing a small trailer with the blue tarp over the top. Not paying attention that I might be speeding I am behind him not passing like I could have since it is four lanes. Just then the county Po Po rolls past in the opposite lane and I point him out to my Son and as I look in the rear view I see his lights turn on! I laugh and say to my Son, "Look, he is after someone". Then I see him turning around

. I immediately slow down to let him pass. He catches up to me and I realize its me he wants to pull over. He checks the license and registration asking me if I knew why he pulled me over? I told him I suspected it was because I was five over the limit coming through that slow area. He said he had me at 59MPH!! I give the "Oh wow" look to him as I truly didn't realize that since I was behind a truck towing a trailer and actually commented to my Son about how slow he was going and that I should just pass him. He said he was letting me off with a warning and chided me a bit. I was more than willing to accept and drove the 2.5 miles back to my home at 45MPH. Lesson learned and bullet dodged.

Navy Fed FTW!

Good deal with the Cop, though.
