cop pulled me over

[Bulldoggie]

Eeeeeek!

I always use the old motto, "5 you're fine 10 you're mine" before I write tickets.

When I was little, before seat belts, you had to be at least 10-15 over.
Everyone thought that 5-7 over, was 100% safe.
Not driving 5-7 over, was considered slow.

Now, cars and tires are better equipped to drive high speeds. A very high % of drivers are well above 15 over. To me, they are asking for it, in time they will get it.

I have pulled over two VX's just to say "hi" (I did have PC for the stop). Both were Protons. I warned them for the infraction then, when I compliment them on their truck and tell them I own one too, their whole mood changes and they were happy to meet another owner and chat a bit. I have seen another but didnt have PC to stop it.

As far as speeding goes, I'm a Sheriff and we generally aren't tasked with traffic enforcement (in CA at least). So if we pull you over you caught our attention for whatever reason and ussually just get a warning; of course there is always a cite for those who fail the attitude test. I do always write for no tail lights since that irritates me.

My dad got a ticket in the Bay area for not wearing his seatbelt....kinda weak PC I think.
