If I wasn't wearing a bra when being stopped by the cops that's what I would think about too!! I got a ticket last week and I had a co-worker in the car, and of course I couldn't find the registration - I kept pulling out of my glove compartment expired registrations and one for my husband's car. It's so stressful. Well at least you only got a warning!!!

I knew for certain I was at 45 - coming down the hill where the speed limit was 40.<br /><br /><br />I asked if he had calibrated his radar that morning, which pissed him off because (I assume) he had not. He pointed angrily up the street and said, "I clocked you flying down that hill at 50."<br /><br /><br />I said sweetly, "You mean the hill that is still in Town A, and where the speed limit is 40?" (We were in Town B, so he had no jurisdiction over the hill).<br /><br /><br />I thought I went too far when he stomped off to his car, but he came back with a warning ticket, so that proves I was right all along.Cindy Dwyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837201606358940799.post-38466370599649784222012-07-19T13:39:16.996-05:002012-07-19T13:39:16.996-05:00Awwww!

His car was in the shop, finances were tight, and I had battled a migraine the night before.<br /><br /><br />The flashing lights in the rear view set my anxiety off, and by the time I pulled over and rolled down my window, my hands were shaking. When the officer started talking, I felt the tears welling up (at the time, I did not cry easily).<br /><br /><br />He asked if I was okay, in a very kind tone, and that was it. I just started bawling. I wasn't trying to manipulate the situation, I was just so exhausted that I lost control.<br /><br /><br />Needless to say, I got off with a warning. :)amberwesthttp://twitter.com/amberwestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837201606358940799.post-76733577328187013692012-07-18T21:30:52.896-05:002012-07-18T21:30:52.896-05:00Oh, Kate!

I was TERRIFIED that I wouldn't be allowed on base, was going on about three hours of sleep, and had endured a nasty break up with my ex the night before. To make it worse, this was New Year's Day 2012. Well, I'm in Surf City, NC which is ALMOST to Camp Lejeune and I start hearing sirens. I thought it was this music I was listening to. Then, notice blue lights. My first thought was "Oh shit". Naturally, I pulled over and we went through the whole routine. When I told him where I was going and that I have a perfectly clean driving record (despite being 20 years old), he let out a sigh. These were his exact words: "Ma'am, I really don't want to write this ticket. But, technically your license should be revoked. However, here is what I'm gonna do: I'm writing it that you were going 70 in a 55 and am going to suggest that you talk to the DA about traffic school. Your mom won't have to find out unless you choose to tell her. It won't go on your insurance or anything." Needless to say, I thanked him profusely. As for my friends homecoming, well, they weren't exactly on time and thought the fact that I got a speeding ticket was hilarious! Never had one since.Kate D.
