My Lead Foot
They said it would happen...I refused to beleive them.....but, it happened..... my first speeding ticket.
Yes that was me pulled over on the side of a major highway last night. The State Trooper was not in a very good mood....
I was on a major highway. I was in the slow lane. Typically the slow lane does about 80mph. The posted speed limit is 65mph. The Trooper claims I "Blew by her" at 85 MPH, ummmm I think not.
First of all, I was in the slow lane and I was blowing by no one. Secondly, while I will admit to doing 80, I was not doing 85, Third, $200 what the hell for? Who gets this friggin money?
Let me set the scene..... Blue lights come on, I pull over, The trooper comes to my passenger window and asks for my license and registration. She accuses me of not wearing a seatbelt. I tell her I needed to undo my seatbelt to reach the glove compartment (I am only 5 feet tall). She asks for my license. I tell her it is in the trunk of my car. She goes ballistic.
SIDE NOTE - Hey jerky, my wallet is in my trunk because I work two jobs and I cannot take my purse into my second job. I can't leave my purse in the car either because my co worker had his window smashed out two days ago - hence why I store it in my trunk. If you took a moment to ask me you would have understood why it was in the trunk.
She takes my registration back to her car. I wait and I wait. I have a clean record, what could she be doing back there? She finally comes back and lets me know that she could have given me a ticket for no seatbelt (Duh, I was wearing it) and no license (duh, it was in the trunk), but she is just giving me a citation for speed. Oh, and I should be careful pulling back into traffic.
No Shit, they are doing 80 in the slow lane!
One good thing - I can pay online so my husband can frame this ticket for all to see.
