Does anyone remember......

First ticket was while driving down a valley in Northern California. The hyway was straight as an arrow as fare as I could see. My Porsche 356 convertible (with an added turbocharger) would go about 126 mph on a level road, so that is how fast I drove most of the time. No other cars on the road, and with an eye out for anything that didn't look right I was really making good time. Then I thought I saw something on the road behind me. I kept watching until I was sure that the dot was getting bigger. That meant whatever was behind me was going a lot faster than I was, so I thought it would be a good idea to let 'em catch me just in case it was the wrong kind of car. It was!

I was very nice as he explained to me that he had been trying to catch me for about 20 minutes, and at the speed he thought I was driving he was supposed to take me to jail, and call for the car to be towed. But, he was really not mad at me, and he was very interested in my car; he knew it wasn't supposed to be able to go that fast. We looked at the engine and the improvements I had made, then

He gave me a ticket for 75 mph! O YEAH!

 

The couple of times I got pulled over was in the middle of the night. I was only going 76 in a 65, but the cop didn't have anything better to do apparently. Nothing worse than a bored cop.

 

I haven't received any traffic citations since the 1970's and NEVER in a big truck.
But, I did stay at a Holiday Hotel last night. :smt075

 

I have only gotten one ticket. I was pulled over for a random inspection. The sticker for the annual inspection came of my trailer and I didn't have the long form in my truck. I took the long form to the court house the next day and the ticket was dismissed.

I could not say that I don't speed but I also try to make sure I am not the fastest truck on the road ether.

 

First ticket in a truck was back in 84 or 85 on a Sunday morning, I-5 somewhere south of Redding. I blame the song on the radio.

 

Isn't that the PITS!? I had this happen as well! SIGH...I told the POLICE officer that it was the song's fault. Well he didn't buy that...lol

 

Didja try singin' it to him?

Next time, try the ol' "Sorry! I sneezed" excuse.
It doesn't usually work either, and never for me, but I'm thinking the officers appreciate it when we mix the excuses up every now and then to avoid being boring.

Do y'all know why I pulled y'all over?

Shux Howdy!
I figured YOU did, officer.
