About a month ago, I got busted going sixty five on a 30 one morning going to work.
Came around a curve, and a block away, there she was, radar in hand.
After she wrote out the ticket (Fine of over $250 + 3 points)
she told me she knew bikes tend to pick up speed faster and then
told me that she didn't have her calibration papers on the "gun"
so she suggested I take it to court.
It was worth it. No points + $150. Whooosh. Got off easy. :yahoo:
More than once, I've been on a 65 mph Interstate going 85 on my way to our local bike
hangout. Sunday morning, listening to the iPod, when all of a sudden an FHP comes up
on my side. I look in and he's giving me a palms down sign to slow a bit. So I give them
thumbs up, slow down to 75 and that's the end of that. Back to my Tunes.
And just to ruin this post completely, I'm going to get political:
our governor keeps giving away tax breaks to all the ones who least need it, but
there's never any money to hire more FHP, so each trooper has a huge area to cover
and then, every time they stop to help, or deal with a problem, some ***** will plow
into them and kill them. :angry2:
I'm no great defender, but I'm a teacher, so I know who's at the bottom of the totem pole:
nurses, teachers and cops. We're all just doing our jobs.
Thank you. I'll mosey on now...I have a cow bell here I wanna try...
