cop pulled me over

[geshaw30]

Got the same profession as Scott but here in the sprawling metropolis that makes Houston. I must say Scott you're a better man than I- they gotta be doing 15 over to catch my attention and that usually results in an "a-- chewin only" stop (if it's the only infraction).

Never stopped another VX (it's a pride thing) and have no desire whatsoever to have one as a patrol car. Getting out of those seats nightly with a gun belt on would surely pop some internal organ.

Free piece of advice. When asked the question "do you know why I pulled you over?"- it's time to fess up. Lying or trying to hold traffic court on a highway will always get you a ticket. The truth will set you free ....at least in my book

I'd say that's true. Just last October, I was driving through Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. Part of the road goes from like 65 down to 25 in about a quarter mile. I was just driving along, BSing with my buddy, totally not paying attention and drove right into the 25 zone going about 60. I got pulled over right away. Now, you guys probably know that going that fast in a 25 will land you a big ticket, and maybe even a reckless driving citation, but I was cool and honest and apologetic, and the cop gave me the smallest ticket he could, which was nice. He actually said, "because of your demeanor, I'm only going to cite you for 10 over."

Whew.
