The last time I got a ticket was in 1982 for Improper Passing (County).Before that was 1968 for doing 70 in a 70 on a Triumph Bonneville. Had no idea the speed limit was 60 on a bike.He showed me in his manual though.(DPS)
Last time pulled over was 1999 for the brake lights not working,on a new car(City). She just gave me a verbal,very nice.Kinda hot too.
Then in June 2010 I was traveling on 380 heading west going to Lubbock from Dallas. I use cruise control a lot and set it by the speed my GPS says.I always set it 3 mph over.
Coming down a hill in Young County I see a DPS way in front of me facing my direction. I get closer and on come the lights.WTF ?
I was real curious as to why but also kinda happy about it too. I had never had the chance to show my CHL to a cop.He just looked my info over and asked where the gun was.Not interested in seeing it.
I asked why he stopped me.He said I had you clocked at 3 over until half way down the hill and it nudged up to 5 over."Gravity I figure"."Don't worry I am just going to give you a warning". Cool
About 10 minutes has gone by at this time and not 1 car had gone by going in either direction.I was starting to think he was just getting lonesome or something out here.
Then he told me the real reason for stopping me was he wanted to see my car and talk about it. Turns out he was a car guy like myself.We had a real good time talking cars for awhile.
A few days later I was passing through there again heading east back to Dallas. Going 3 mph over.
He was heading west and we spotted each other. We both waved and honked to each other.
