A co-worker and I were driving to up to NY State for another co-workers wedding. I was in the Camaro. She rented a new Camaro and we each had our spouses with us. Sunday morning. Nobody in sight. We play a little.
Then we come across a construction zone with nobody in it.
We played some more. I see a bend coming up as a perfect place for an officer to snag people. I back it down to 5 mph over the construction zone limit.
She sees me back down, makes a face then keeps going.
We both were running in excess of 125 in the zone right before I backed off.
Her ticket was for 90 in a 50 construction zone.
Yeah, stupid, I know.
I once totally ran a red light in the 300TD. In town, again Sunday morning. NOBODY in sight. I swear they shortened that red light.
Lit up, where he came from I still have no idea.
Once I saw him in the rearview, I simply slowed down and pulled over with signal, even before he had his lights on.
He asked if I knew why I was being stopped. I told him yes and asked for leniency since the car would have stalled if I stopped short, as the car was cold. The clean record got me off with a warning. I think that, and I was from town. Whew!
That was a couple of weeks after the Camaro incident.
Wife would have been ticked off to no end, since she was in the car during the Camaro incident, and I was read the quiet riot act on how lucky I was that it wasn't me who got the ticket.
