I drove the speed limit today.? It hurt real bad.? I couldn’t help myself with that beautiful stretch of I10 road that are taxes paid for.? So much time spent eagerly awaiting this beautiful stretch of road.
Now we can’t even enjoy it because it’s a cops paradise for speeding tickets and excessive lane changing.? I had such a hard time keeping the speed limit that I was looking for the slowest of vehicles to tail so that I could somehow limit myself.
That didn’t work for too long, the drivers in front of me were getting agitated and moving out of my way so that I could pass.
I’m trying to be a good citizen because I got pulled over twice yesterday morning.? Who get’s pulled over twice in one morning on the same stretch of road.? Without exaggeration I think less than 5 minutes passed between the 2 pull-overs.
One officer pulled me over to make a cliche remark in a firm authoritative voice “are you in a hurry son” and “do you know how fast you were going” … then he walked off without giving me a ticket.
It’s as if he got his kicks out of yelling at people.? I guess if he doesn’t get respect anywhere else, he can pretend to get it while he’s wearing a badge.
The second officer (less than 5 minutes later) was silver haired and had the swagger of a long cop career.? He made productive comments like “I clocked you going 80 in a 60″ and “here’s your information packet for any and all questions, oh yeah and your ticket.”
I took a photo w/ my beloved iPhone, and even had time to tweet about it.
