You could have been a smartass and said that you didn't know 2 mph was the difference between life and death. The kids would survive a 35 mpg car but not a 37 mph car? Got it.
BTDub....we always stop at the last stand on the left just as you head out of town. A bag of boiled peanuts, some alligator jerkey and a useless sharks tooth souvenire for the kid are a must for the trip.
I prefer the useless snaggle ball necklaces they sell, much less to get snagged on.
Snaggle ball necklaces? Where do you get......wait....I see what you did there.
I don't like where this is headed daddy.
I could have, but didn't.
I would have if the he'd had been lecturing me after issuing a ticket. Lecture (within reason), or ticket, but not both. And yes, I've stopped a cop and told him just that as he started to lecture me while handing me a ticket to sign.
I wasn't driving, but did often in that town, so I kept my mouth shut as my friend took the ass chewing. He didn't write him a ticket, just chewed his ass out real good. They were dicks then. Like I said, once they got a new mayor, he fired them and hired all new people. It was bad driving through there for a couple of years, now, not so much.
Best for the driver that the passengers stay quiet. That was smart. Honestly, though, I wouldn't have taken much lip over going 37 in a 35 if I'd been the driver.
According to that cop, 37 presents a death hazard but 35 will leave a kid scratch free.
Yes it is. Passengers smarting off can mean the difference between a warning and a ticket.
Troof. It really doesn't help your case to ask the officer who is wearing knee high lace up boots if he is leaving there to go fishing.
37 in a 35 (school zone). Got some fast moving kids in your area. It's 20 (some places 15) here in Texas.Maybe the kids here are slow. We did produce greg macldouche.
Now, what I have actually seen and heard is people with tickets for 10-15 over claiming they were really stopped for going only 1 or 2 over, and the cop just lied. That's common. I've yet to EVER see ANYBODY produce a ticket written for anything less than 10 mph over. Never met a cop that would fess up to writing anyone for 1 mph over either.
Kids are bigger in Texas
And drive keener cars.
